Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/4 cup natural peanut butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans) (optional)

Pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, natural peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

    Incorporate the Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds until evenly distributed. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes to let the chia seeds absorb some moisture and thicken the batter.

      Add Extras: If desired, fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

        Shape the Clusters: Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop clusters of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. You can shape them into round mounds or more flattened disk-like shapes, depending on your preference.

          Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the clusters freeze for at least 2 hours or until they are firm.

            Serve and Store: Once frozen, transfer the clusters to an airtight container or ziplock bag. Store them in the freezer and enjoy them straight from the freezer as a nutritious snack or dessert!
