These No Bake Banana Chocolate Bars are made from two layers and covered in dark chocolate. These vegan and gluten free bars contain no refined sugar! You don’t need an oven to make these bars.
No Bake Bars are ideal for breakfast and snacks. You can substitute some ingredients in the recipe. And every time you replace, you get a new dessert.
Vegan Bar Ingredients
There are few ingredients in the No Bake Banana Chocolate Bars recipe. And you can easily find them in your kitchen. The idea for this recipe came to me when I saw bananas in the fridge. They were already very ripe and I decided to use them for dessert.
Bananas are a very useful product. They give the dessert a sweetness and a magical aroma. Of course bananas can be replaced with dates. But it will be a completely different recipe. In addition to bananas, we still need a few ingredients. These are rolled oats gluten-free, almond flour, cacao powder, cacao butter, lemon juice.
And also for the glaze, dark chocolate without sugar and refined coconut oil. By the way, I have a recipe for delicious Dark Chocolate without sugar on my website.
Cacao butter can be replaced with refined coconut oil. But it’s better to leave it as is. And before preparing rolled oats, grind in a blender or coffee grinder. I grind rolled oats to a state of flour. Then the texture of the bars will turn out smoother.
In addition to the ingredients, we will also need a 13 x 18 cm form and parchment. The size of the form doesn’t matter. Use what you have.
How to make No Bake Banana Chocolate Bars
First, use a blender to grind the peeled bananas. Then set aside half of the 100g banana puree in a bowl. Do you remember that we have two layers? Therefore, we divide the puree in half. If you have a small blender, then just chop half the bananas for each layer. My blender bowl is not small and 100g is not enough for it.
Then add almond flour, crushed rolled oats, melted cacao butter and cacao powder to half the banana puree. Mix everything well until smooth. This is our chocolate layer. Put the resulting mass into a mold on parchment and smooth with a silicone spatula.
Then add lemon juice, cacao butter, almond flour, crushed rolled oats to the remaining banana puree. Stir until all ingredients come together in a lump. Next, spread the banana mass on top of the chocolate layer. Now set the form aside. Now we will make the frosting.
Chocolate glaze
As you remember, we have only 2 ingredients in the glaze. It’s dark chocolate without sugar and refined coconut oil. You may have a perfectly reasonable question. Why add coconut oil? We do this so that the chocolate does not break when cut.
You can also use coconut milk instead of coconut oil. If you take an equal amount of chocolate and coconut milk, you will have a softer frosting.
So. Melt the dark chocolate and refined coconut milk in the microwave or over a double boiler. Then pour the frosting into the mold. Put the mold in the refrigerator for 2 hours until the glaze hardens. It may take you less time or more. After cooling, cut into portions.
Store chocolate bars in a tightly sealed container for 3 days in the refrigerator. You can also put the bars in the freezer. And take out as needed.
