Good news though! If you want something to look forward to other than schoolwork, try making these chocolate covered frozen banana slices coated with shredded coconut. Freeze them overnight, and then eat them after school tomorrow! They're like a little reward for getting through school. The chocolate-y, frozen treat will surely give you the boost you need to do your homework. They are so good, it wouldn't surprise me if you can't get through next week without eating one of these!
* This recipe was kindly suggested by my good friend Molly, who also took the photographs for this week's post. She is so talented and has amazing photography skillzz! <3 (Ignore the strawberries in the pics; they were a fail)
Ingredients (makes about 8-10 banana bites):
2 medium-sized bananas
1 Tbsp peanut butter
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)
toothpicks (optional for ban(banana pops)
Directions:
1. Cut each banana into fourths or fifths, depending on how big of a banana bite you want.
Arrange on a small cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. For banana pops, stick a toothpick in each banana slice, slimy side up.
2. Put the chocolate and peanut butter in a small microwavable bowl. Microwave for 40-60 seconds, or until melted. Stir with a spoon until well combined.
3. Using two spoons or your hands, evenly coat each banana bite with the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture. For banana pops, this step is much easier since you can hold onto the toothpick.
4. Sprinkle shredded coconut on top. Repeat with all banana bites. Place the bites in the freezer until completely frozen, about 2-3 hours or overnight. Enjoy!
