Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1/4 cup granola
- 2 chocolate chips
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 1 banana, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, 1/4 cup of granola, and 2 chocolate chips.
- Peel the banana and place it on a clean cutting board.
- Using a knife, slice the banana into thick rounds, about 1/2 inch thick. You should have approximately 8-10 slices, depending on the size of the banana.
- Take a serving plate and arrange the banana slices in a single layer, creating a fun and colorful display.
- In a small bowl, measure out 1 tablespoon of peanut butter. If the peanut butter is too thick, you can microwave it for a few seconds to make it easier to spread.
- Using a small spoon or knife, spread a thin layer of peanut butter on top of each banana slice, ensuring that each slice is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of granola over the peanut butter-covered banana slices, adding a nice crunch to your snack.
- Finally, place 2 chocolate chips on top of the granola on each banana slice for a touch of sweetness.
- Your Bumble Bee Kids Snack is now ready to serve! Enjoy immediately or keep it in the refrigerator for a short period if you need to prepare it in advance.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Bananas: For the best flavor and sweetness, select bananas that are perfectly ripe—slightly speckled but not overly brown.
- Customize the Toppings: Feel free to get creative! Add other toppings like dried fruits, mini marshmallows, or even a drizzle of honey for added flavor.
- Make it a Fun Activity: Get your kids involved in the preparation! Let them help slice the bananas and spread the peanut butter; it’s a great way to teach them about healthy eating.
- Serve on Fun Plates: Use colorful plates or arrange the snacks in fun shapes to make them even more appealing to kids.
- Storage Tips: If you need to prepare these in advance, keep the banana slices separate from the toppings until you're ready to serve to prevent them from browning.
