Preparation
- Make the banana bread: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch (20 x 12 cm) loaf pan with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the melted butter and mix well. Add the sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, salt, and flour and mix to combine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Make the cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat to incorporate.
- Using your hands, finely crumble the banana bread into a large bowl. You should have about 6 cups (690 G).
- Add the cream cheese frosting to the crumbled banana bread and mix well to combine.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a 1-ounce (25 G) scoop, portion the banana bread mixture and roll into 24 balls. Set on the prepared baking sheet and chill for at least 10 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until completely melted.
- Dip each banana bread truffle in the melted chocolate, then return to the baking sheet. Top each truffle with a banana chip, then transfer to the refrigerator to set completely, about 15 minutes.
- Enjoy!
