Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and smooth texture.
  • Almond butter or sunflower seed butter can replace peanut butter in the same amount.
  • For a deeper chocolate flavor, add a tiny pinch of salt (optional).
  • For cleaner slices, chill longer and wipe the knife between cuts.
