Ingredients
Scale
Banana Sushi with Sprinkles and Chia Seeds
- 1 banana
- 2 squares dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp sprinkles
- 0.5 tbsp chia seeds
Banana Sushi with Coconut and Rice Krispies
- 1 banana
- 1.5 tbsp nut butter
- 1.5 tbsp shredded coconut
- 3 tbsp rice krispies
Instructions
- Peel the bananas: Start by peeling the bananas carefully and placing them on a plate or a clean cutting board, preparing them for decoration and slicing.
- Prepare Sprinkles and Chia Seed Sushi: Melt the dark chocolate until smooth and drizzle it over the peeled bananas evenly. Immediately sprinkle the sprinkles and chia seeds on top, pressing lightly if needed to help them stick. Refrigerate the bananas until the chocolate is set and firm.
- Prepare Coconut and Rice Krispie Sushi: Spread the nut butter evenly over the peeled bananas, then roll each banana in shredded coconut or rice krispies, ensuring full coverage for a crunchy texture.
- Serve: Once the toppings are set or the coating is complete, slice the bananas into bite-sized “sushi” pieces and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas for the best texture and ease of slicing.
- Choose nut butters that are smooth for easy spreading; almond or peanut butter works well.
- For a vegan option, ensure the dark chocolate does not contain dairy.
- Refrigerate the chocolate-covered banana sushi to help the chocolate harden properly.
- Serve immediately after rolling in rice krispies or coconut to keep the coating crisp.
- Sprinkles can be replaced with crushed nuts or seeds for a healthier topping.
