Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup natural peanut butter (creamy or chunky)

1/2 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Optional: Dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into 1-inch thick rounds. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.

    Make the Peanut Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.

      Add Chia Seeds: Next, add the chia seeds into the peanut butter mixture. Stir until the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the peanut butter.

        Coat Banana Rounds: Use a spoon to take small dollops of the peanut butter-chia mixture and spread it generously over each banana slice. You can also dip the banana slices directly into the mixture for a quick and easy coating.

          Add Toppings (Optional): If using, sprinkle some dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts on top of the coated banana slices for added flavor and crunch.

            Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until the clusters are solid.

              Serve: Once frozen, transfer the clusters to an airtight container or resealable bag. They can be enjoyed straight from the freezer.

                Enjoy: These frozen treats can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Grab a few whenever you crave a healthy snack or dessert!
