Chocolate Banana Sushi with Pistachios:

This kid-friendly Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Banana Sushi with Pistachios recipe is so easy to make and is ready in less than 10 minutes.

Banana sushi is a favorite snack in our house and it all started with my original banana sushi recipe back in 2013, Raw Vegan Banana Hemp Seed Sushi Slices.

It then evolved to Banana Sushi with Sweet Tahini and Matcha Spread (so good!), to these Cashew Butter Banana Sushi (also good!) and now my most recent I’m sharing with you today, Chocolate Banana Sushi with Pistachios (delish!).

Either variety is great to make whenever you have an abundance of bananas or need a quick snack.

You simply take a banana, drizzle it with melted chocolate chips, sprinkle crushed pistachios over the top and then slice and serve it like sushi to make it fun.

It’s a healthy, kid-friendly snack that’s vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, paleo-friendly and contain no refined sugar.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Yields: 2 servings

Calories : 283

Ingredients

▢ 1 organic banana (firm)

For the chocolate topping:

▢ ¼ cup Enjoy Life semi-sweet mini chocolate chips

▢ 1 teaspoon organic coconut oil

For the garnish:

▢ 2 tablespoons organic pistachios (chopped or ground)

Instructions

Prepare a serving dish or dinner plate lined with parchment paper, then set aside.

Prepare the garnish:

Chop the pistachios into small pieces or add the pistachios to a coffee grinder and grind them to a fine powder, then set aside.

Prepare the banana:

Peel the banana (fresh and firm is best), place it on the prepared serving dish, then set aside.

Prepare the chocolate topping:

Add all ingredients for the chocolate topping to a small saucepan and melt on the lowest heat, stirring the entire time until it’s smooth and taking care to not let it burn.

Assembly:

Slowly pour the melted chocolate over the banana, making sure it is completely covered on the top and both sides.

Sprinkle the chopped or ground pistachios over the top of the banana.

Option 1: Slice and serve immediately.

Option 2: Place your serving dish in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to harden the chocolate, then remove, slice, and serve.

Store in an air-tight BPA-free container in the freezer or refrigerator.

Recipe Notes

Bananas: The best type of banana to use for this recipe is a firm banana, not a ripe soft one. In addition, since the size of bananas can vary, you may get more or less than 15 slices per banana.

Chocolate Chips: If you’d like to keep this recipe 100% raw, use my Homemade Raw Chocolate Sauce recipe instead of melting the chocolate chips.

Pistachios: I find the best way to get pistachios ground into a fine powder is with an inexpensive coffee maker. It takes less than a minute to run them through the machine.

Serving Size: This recipe will make (1) banana sliced into sushi pieces. Nutritional information is for ½ banana or approximately (7) slices.
