- ¼ cup coconut flakes or shreds
- 4 medium bananas sliced and frozen
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup vegan mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Bring a skillet to medium heat. Add coconut. Stir until lightly browned and fragrant. This will take 3-5 minutes. Pour onto a plate and place in the freezer to cool.
- In the meantime, add bananas to a blender or food processor. Blend until you get a crumbly texture. Add maple syrup and vanilla. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as necessary. This will take a few minutes.
