Servings: 12 Calories per serve: 137 kcal Ingredient­s 1/2 cup coconut oil melted if solid 1/3 cup cacao powder 2 tbsp maple syrup 1 banana sliced 6 tsp nut butter of your choice I used smooth Pic’s peanut butter

1/4 cup coconut threads approximat­e Instructio­ns Mix coconut oil, cacao powder and maple syrup to make the cacao mixture.

Use a measuring spoon to spoon one teaspoon of cacao mixture into the bottom of each mini muffin hole.

Put the mini muffin pan in the fridge for a few minutes to set (five minutes should be more than enough).

Remove mini muffin tray from the fridge and put a slice of banana into each muffin hole.

Top each slice of banana with a half teaspoon of nut butter.

Smooth the nut butter a little so that it doesn’t stick out of the chocolate.

Give the remaining cacao mixture a stir, as it may have separated a little.

Evenly pour into each muffin hole to cover the banana and nut butter.

Sprinkle with coconut threads, or topping of your choice.

Put the mini muffin pan in the freezer until set, then pop the treats out and store in a zip lock bag or container in the freezer.

The cacao sets very quickly and you can eat these straight away.

They’re better if you let them freeze for long enough for the banana to firm up though.

Serve straight from the freezer. This three-minute full body dumbbell workout is a great way to finish your gym workout ...
