This Halloween, skip the candy and let your children enjoy a healthily sweet treat! Fun, easy to make, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and not too spooky!
Versions of this recipe have been floating around social media streams lately, but most of them contain yogurt, chocolate or white chocolate as the way to "stick" the shredded coconut to the banana. Because this recipe was designed by an RHN, it doesn't use sugary, milky, chocolate: using carob chips instead gives this recipe its nutty, chocolatey taste, but without the added sweeteners. Carob chips have about the same number of calories as chocolate chips, but contain twice as much fibre and are naturally sweet!
3 ripe organic bananas, peeled and cut in half
3/4 cup carob chips
2 tbsp. coconut oil
1 tbsp. raw honey
1 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
pinch Himalayan sea salt
Carob chips or Cacao nibs (optional)
6 popsicle sticks
