You're looking for new snack ideas to use up your bananas before they go bad, or maybe you're trying to think of some healthy snack alternatives for your kids to take to school. Bananas are a favorite among kids and adults alike, and these delicious snack recipes will please the whole family.
Chocolate Covered Bananas
\"Healthy Snacks Recipes\"
Cut 2 bananas in half and insert an ice cream stick in the end of each. Place on a tray on a sheet of wax paper and leave in the freezer for 1 hour. Pour your topping of choice (crushed peanut pieces, chocolate chips, sprinkles, or coconut work well) onto a plate. Melt one bag of melting chocolates in a double broiler. When the chocolate is melted, dip each banana into the chocolate until covered, then immediately roll in your topping of choice. Place back onto the wax paper and freeze until firm. Enjoy!
Rolled Bananas
Peel one or more bananas, then cut into quarters or smaller pieces if desired. Coat the outside of the banana pieces with creamy peanut butter until a thin layer of peanut butter covers the entire piece. Pour some of your favorite cereal or topping onto a plate or other flat surface, then roll the banana piece until it is completely coated. This snack is creamy, crunchy, and delicious!
Banana-Peanut Butter Miniwiches
Spread crunchy or smooth peanut butter onto two pieces of white or wheat bread. Cut a banana into thin slices and place on the peanut butter side of each bread slice. Stick the two together to make a tasty banana-peanut butter sandwich, then slice into quarters to make more manageable miniwiches.
Cinnamon Banana Toast
Place a griddle on the stove and turn the stove on low heat. Place a slice of white or wheat bread on the griddle. While the griddle is heating, cut a banana into slices, then place on the bread slice. Then sprinkle cinnamon (or cinnamon and sugar) onto the bananas and allow it to heat. Using a spatula or knife, gently press the bananas into the piece of bread. When the bottom of the bread is golden brown, the toast should be warm but not hot. Remove from the griddle, allow to cool slightly if necessary, and enjoy.
Crunchy Bananas
Fill a sandwich bag halfway full with your or your kids' favorite breakfast cereal. Zip the bag shut and crush the cereal into small pieces. Peel one or more bananas, then cut into thin slices. Drop one slice of banana into the bag of crushed cereal, and shake until the slice is completely coated. Remove the coated slice from the bag, and repeat. The cereal adds an entirely new texture to this versatile snack fruit.
