I think it was about two years ago that the frozen date, banana, and peanut butter craze went viral, and I completely understand why. It is a delicious treat that takes only minutes to prepare, uses simple ingredients, and needs no added sugar.
The dates and bananas provide natural sweetness, fiber, and potassium, while the peanut butter adds protein and satisfying healthy fats. Walnuts bring extra crunch and beneficial fats, and yes, even dark chocolate has something to offer, thanks to the plant compounds found in cocoa.
What I especially love is that you can decide exactly how much chocolate to use. Cover the top with a thin layer for a richer treat, or add just a few drizzles to give it that little chocolate lift. Either way, this frozen bark is easy, satisfying, and absolutely delicious.
Yields 1 - 9x13” pan
Ingredients:
Line a baking sheet or flat tray with baking paper.
Open the dates and arrange them close together, cut-side up, to form a single layer. Press them flat with your hands or gently roll over them with a rolling pin to create a thin, even base.
Stir the natural peanut butter well before using, then spread it evenly over the flattened pitted dates. Either creamy or chunky peanut butter will work.
Slice the bananas into very thin rounds and arrange them in a single layer over the peanut butter.
Melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the chocolate over the bananas, using as much or as little as you like.
Sprinkle with chopped walnuts and a little flaky sea salt.
Freeze until firm, then cut or break into pieces. Store in the freezer until ready to serve.
