Notes
- Use ripe but not overripe bananas: It’s important they aren’t too ripe, or they’ll be overly soft and mushy. Meanwhile, if they’re too hard/unripe, then they’ll have lackluster flavor.
- Use good-quality vegan chocolate: For the best flavor and nutrition.
- For cleanest dipping: Freeze the bananas for 10-15 minutes before dipping, so the peanut butter and vegan chocolate layers solidify quickly and don’t cause a lot of mess.
- To melt the vegan chocolate easier: Add a tablespoon or so of coconut oil (use refined coconut oil for no flavor) to help thin the dairy-free chocolate and have it remain smoother for longer while dipping the bananas.
