The good thing about bananas is that they are available at a reasonable price throughout the year, and you can eat them in any form. Many people prefer regular bananas, while others make fried or baked recipes with them. Chocolate bananas on a stick are very tasty.
This is a fun and easy dessert to make with the kids. Chocolate Covered Bananas: This recipe may or may not call for pre-freezing. The article will look at two ways to prepare chocolate-covered bananas on a stick. You can try both to choose the best option for yourself. If you simply pour chocolate over bananas, you get a sweet and classic recipe; if you freeze bananas, you get real and natural banana ice cream.

Chocolate covered bananas on a stick recipe
To prepare you will need:
- 4 medium fruits;
- cream 50 grams;
- natural chocolate;
- sticks.
- To begin with, the fruits are peeled, cut into 2-3 pieces and placed in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. The time can be reduced, the main thing is that the fruit becomes a little harder. This is necessary for convenient placement of them on sticks.
- While the fruit is freezing, prepare the chocolate glaze. It is important that the chocolate is natural; if the bar turns out to be soy, the glaze simply will not work.
- Break the chocolate into pieces, add half the cream, and place in a water bath. When the mixture reaches a liquid consistency, you can add the rest of the cream. If the consistency is suitable, you can leave the cream. They should not be thick, otherwise they will be difficult to apply to the fruit. Another important point is that you must not allow the glaze to boil, otherwise it will spoil.
- When the glaze is ready, remove the fruit from the freezer. The glaze should cool slightly. It is left for 10 minutes. After this time, the bananas are placed on sticks, dipped in chocolate one by one and placed in a glass so that the glaze does not touch foreign objects. This is what each of them does.
- They can be decorated with confectionery sprinkles on top. Multi-colored sprinkles for Easter cakes are perfect for a children's party. You can use coconut flakes. The sprinkles should be sprinkled on top. You should not dip a glazed banana into it; you can ruin its appearance by smearing the glaze.
- For complete readiness, the delicacy should be placed in the freezer for 15 minutes or in the refrigerator for 30 - 40 minutes. This is necessary for the glaze to harden. After this, dessert can be served!

It all depends on the size of the ingredients.

The consistency of the dough and the appearance of these cookies directly depends on what kind of oatmeal you use - quick-cooking oats are softer, which means they will “accept” vegetable oil and banana faster, while becoming more elastic and making the cookies more uniform.

Banana pancakes - recipe
Banana pancakes can already be considered a traditional American dessert, but we are better known as pancakes - it’s good that, regardless of the name, these pancakes will be very tasty and tender. I want to say right away that for these we will need very ripe soft bananas - they are easier to mash and cook. Take a good frying pan to cook them and do not use oil when frying.
Ingredients for banana pancakes
- Ripe banana - 1 large fruit
- Wheat flour - 90 grams
- Milk (fat) - 150 milliliters
- Chicken egg - 1 piece
- Butter - 20-25 grams
- White sugar - 20 grams
- Baking powder - 2 teaspoons
- Baking soda - 0.5 teaspoon
- Table salt - one pinch
How to make banana pancakes
First of all, combine the dry ingredients - in a small container, thoroughly mix table salt, wheat flour, sugar, soda and baking powder.
Using an immersion blender or a regular fork, puree the banana without lumps. Use slightly overripe bananas.
Melt the butter in a water bath or in the microwave. Separate one chicken yolk from the white. We'll need the protein a little later.
Beat the yolk gradually adding milk, banana puree and butter, continue beating the ingredients for a minute. Now combine the resulting mass with the dry (previously combined) ingredients. Using a whisk or mixer, carefully mix everything. Beat the remaining egg white thoroughly and add it to the dough.
Heat a dry, clean frying pan and pour the dough, forming pancakes of the size we need. If you are using a special frying pan with “moulds” for pancakes, simply fill them with dough. You need to turn the pancakes over when bubbles appear on the surface. As a result, we will get 6 or 9 pancakes. Drizzle them with some delicious condensed milk, honey or your favorite cherry jam before serving.
