Here is an amazing variation of our favorite doughnuts made with fried bananas and coated in sweet chocolate/carob dip.

Ingredients

  • 4 frozen ripe bananas
  • 2 tbsp. of coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp of coconut sugar
  • 1 tbsp of carob or chocolate nibs
  • 1 tbsp of carob powder or chocolate powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions

  • 1)

    Let the frozen bananas thaw until you can peel the skin off. Some liquid from the bananas will have oozed out while thawing, and you can use this liquid in the sauce.

  • 2)

    Over medium heat in a saucepan, add coconut oil, then carefully place bananas in the pan curled into doughnut form, as they can break easily. Reduce the heat to low, add the sweet liquid from the banana, and cook until all the juices slowly thicken.

  • 3)

    Flip the bananas over and let them sear on the other side on low heat.

  • 4)

    Remove the seared banana and place it on a plate.

  • 5)

    Pour the carob or (chocolate as it’s irresistible for you) sauce over the bananas and garnish with nibs or little nuggets.

  • 6)

    You can even place two bananas on each other; kids love this.

Sauce: carob or chocolate sauce.

  • 1)

    Boil water in a medium steel bowl or pot to prepare “bain maria.”

  • 2)

    Add coconut sugar, chocolate powder or carob powder, and one teaspoon of water in another smaller bowl that can fit into the medium bowl.

  • 3)

    Keep stirring as the chocolate and coconut sugar slowly melt – stir until you have a smooth sauce.

  • 4)

    Finally, add vanilla extract and lower heat to a minimum.

Notes

Leave the smaller pot with carob/chocolate sauce in the warm water as you prepare the plate of bananas. If you remove the smaller pot beforehand, the sauce will turn hard when it cools. A bain-marie is a type of heated bath, equipment used in science, industry, and cooking to gently heat specific ingredients or keep materials warm over time.
