Fix Me A Snack

Comfort food, stabs at healthy livin', and an experimental snack lab all rolled into one

My kids had a wonderful time making these and getting terribly messy in the process! This is the quickest way I’ve come up with to use up over ripe bananas lurking in the kitchen.

DSC01479
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 teaspoons cocoa powder (preferably dutch process)
1 teaspoon ground flaxseed
2-3 bananas cut into 2-inch thick slices
Popsicle sticks

Mix sugar, cocoa powder, and flaxseed in a small shallow bowl. Roll the banana slices around in the powder mixture until coated. Transfer to plate and insert popsicle sticks. Serve immediately. The banana can sometimes slip around on the popsicle stick, but just eat it and try another one.

    I was curious if you have tried freezing these? Now that it is summer time cold is always better.

    No. I haven’t.
    I just started testing frozen chocolate dipped banana pops yesterday though. Great minds think alike!!
