Banana Chips Hugging Dark Chocolate – Banan-Oreo

April 5, 2012 By Jittery Cook 20 Comments

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.

Take your time to read this post all the way through. It’s a short one. There’s a prize you may be lucky enough to win.
Healthy Dessert

Banana Chips Hugging Dark Chocolate Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1/4 c melted dark chocolate

Healthy Dessert

Cut each peeled banana into 1/8-inch thin slices.

Healthy DessertCover your baking sheet in parchment paper. Place the banana slices on the parchment paper.

Healthy Dessert
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.

Healthy Dessert

With the banana chips now wedged between two sheets of parchment, continue baking for about another hour.

Healthy Dessert

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.

Healthy Dessert

Cool completely before spreading a dime-sized bit of melted chocolate on a chip and covering with a second chip.

Healthy Dessert

Voilà–Banana Chips Hugging Dark Chocolate.

Healthy Snack

You may prefer to omit the chocolate and eat the banana chips au naturel.

Add a comment below with a recipe idea or food item that you would like to see featured in Jittery Cook, and I’ll enter your name in a draw to win a 1 lb bag. Don’t be shy! The odds are so much better than winning the lottery.

Final notes:

  • Do you wish your weeks away to get to the weekend? Does it worry you that the faster time goes, the less you’ll have left? Read It’s All About Time for some healing information.
  • Check out Hick Chick just for fun and Living Tastefully for a beautiful banana breakfast treat.
  • To satisfy your artsy needs, take a look at Robin Rosenberg’s Fine Art site. Robin passed on a strawberry life-extending tip that she learned from her mom. To extend freshness for up to 2 weeks, refrigerate your strawberries in a closed jar. I’m currently testing it out.
  • Aren’t you glad this post was short and sweet? Happy holidays everyone!!!

      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!

    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.

      Sounds delicious, except I’ve no idea what maca tastes like.

    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.
