Description

Peanut Butter Banana “Sandwich Coins” are quick, bite-sized snacks made with ripe but firm banana slices layered with creamy peanut butter and topped with mini chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Naturally sweet and satisfying, these no-cook treats are perfect for an easy snack, lunchbox addition, or a healthy dessert option.

Ingredients

Banana Sandwich Coins

  • 2 ripe but firm bananas
  • ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped peanuts
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Slice the bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into rounds about ¼-inch thick to form the base and top of each sandwich coin.
  2. Make the coins: Spread a small amount of creamy peanut butter onto half of the banana slices evenly to ensure every bite is flavorful.
  3. Add the toppings: Sprinkle the peanut butter side of the banana slices with mini chocolate chips, finely chopped peanuts, cinnamon, and a tiny pinch of sea salt for a combination of sweet, crunchy, and savory flavors.
  4. Make the sandwiches: Place another banana slice on top of each peanut butter-coated slice and gently press down to create small, bite-sized banana “sandwich coins.”
  5. Chill: Arrange the sandwich coins on a parchment-lined plate or tray and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape better.
  6. Serve: Enjoy the coins chilled straight from the fridge or allow them to soften slightly to room temperature for a different texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are ripe but still firm enough to slice easily to prevent mushy coins.
  • Almond butter or sunflower seed butter can be substituted for peanut butter for different flavors or to accommodate allergies.
  • For a chocolate variation, drizzle the finished coins with melted dark chocolate before chilling.
  • These sandwich coins are best enjoyed the same day since banana slices soften over time.
  • For a cooler, firmer treat, freeze the sandwich coins for 30–60 minutes before serving.
