Extra Tips for Success
Bananas should be ripe – but firm: you want the banana pops to taste sweet, so make sure they are ripe. But if they’re too ripe – too many brown spots – they may be too soft to stay properly on the stick.
Use natural peanut butter or add coconut oil: in order to drizzle the peanut butter, you’ll need natural nut butter. If your peanut butter is thicker, you can warm it in the microwave with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Stir together completely and drizzle.
How long do they keep? These bananas should keep for about 2-3 weeks. Place in a freezer-friendly ziplock bag and keep bananas stored in the freezer.
