Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future. This recipe takes lots of time to cook. Don’t fret. You will be able to attend to many other tasks, important or trivial, while your oven works its magic.
Banana Chips Hugging Dark Chocolate Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/4 c melted dark chocolate
Cut each peeled banana into 1/8-inch thin slices.
Cover your baking sheet in parchment paper. Place the banana slices on the parchment paper.
Bake for 2-3 hours at 175-200 degrees, flipping them once after 1 hour. Flip the entire parchment paper sheet with all the banana slices stuck in place onto a new parchment sheet.
With the banana chips now wedged between two sheets of parchment, continue baking for about another hour.
They’re done when they turn slightly brown and pop off the parchment paper as you poke them from below. Don’t overbrown them, or they will taste too caramelized.
Cool completely before spreading a dime-sized bit of melted chocolate on a chip and covering with a second chip.
Voilà–Banana Chips Hugging Dark Chocolate.
You may prefer to omit the chocolate and eat the banana chips au naturel.

Can you feature figs in a recipe?
Please send the bag to my business address. LOL
Jittery Cook says
I do love fresh figs. There is a good chance of a post with figs. Thanks Jay
Alena says
Hmm, very tempting… how about glutten free dessert, something like tartellettes… or mini cakes?
Love the banana chips…
Jittery Cook says
I’m super uneducated on gluten free food. That would be a stretch. Thanks for entering the draw Alena!

Hemp seeds- I don’t eat much fish so I have been incorporating these onto my salads and yogurt to get my “omegas” – but I am sure you could come up with something more creative!
Jittery Cook says
Will do…sooner or later…have you tried my favorite breakfast made with hemp seed milk? Chia Seed Porridge.

Aloha,
I love to eat bananas and chocolate and some times blend frozen ripe bananas and raw cacao powder with maca and coconut water to make a great smoothie.
Jittery Cook says
Sounds delicious, except I’ve no idea what maca tastes like.
Sonia Ribaux says
I like entertaining for brunch but I find I serve the same old thing. I’d like to find an easy to make dish (the kind that cooks in the oven while you get the other stuff prepared), that’s a little off the beaten track for brunch (but still a brunch food). Maybe eggs that are matched with an unusual ingredient or French toast with a twist…
I trust you will come up with something.
