These little Banana Bread Bites are a fun way to use up that banana bread. Roll them in balls and dip in chocolate for little banana donut treats.
So a couple weeks ago I asked you guys if you had any questions for me...
Someone wanted to know how much willpower I have? and how do I keep from eating a zillion of everything I make?
She wanted to know if I give stuff away, freeze stuff, or my favorite...staple my mouth shut! LOL! You had me rolling girl!
Seriously, I don't have much willpower when it comes to sweets!
I honestly could eat sugar stuff every day...maybe even all day!
But all that sugar catches up with you quick!!! (I have currently found the 11 lbs. that I lost last spring)
I usually half the recipe for whatever I am trying out for the day. And yes, I give a lot of my creations away because if it sits in my house...I EAT IT!!!(my friends love to see me coming with bakery boxes...I think)
Sometimes I do freeze the cookies and bars and use those for kid's school lunches. I have found that I won't touch it if it is frozen, but I know that doesn't work for everyone.
I have never tried stapling my mouth shut...although, that is a great suggestion!

This week I am trying very hard to eat healthy. I even went so far as to say I wasn't going to eat sugar until Saturday. That is going to be tougher than I thought.
Is is cheating if I licked the banana bread batter off the spatula?
Ok, I even ate two Banana Bread Bites last night. Someone HAD to eat the cut-up one that I took pictures of today! But other than that...no sugar! I will keep you updated on that and my workout progress!!!
But enough about that for today...on to the good stuff!!!
It has been far too long since I made some sort of "bite"! And this bread was calling out to be rolled and dipped.
These little Banana Bread Bites are just little chocolate-covered banana donuts. Yum! Sounds like breakfast to me.
Recipe
Banana Bread Bites
These little Banana Bread Bites are a fun way to eat banana bread. Roll the bread into little bite-sized balls and roll in chocolate.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Sour Cream Banana Bread
- 12 ounces chocolate melting wafers
- 2 teaspoons shortening
- sprinkles
Instructions
- Cut the banana bread into small bite sized squares. Roll into donut shaped balls. Place on a wax paper lined tray in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Place the melting chocolate and shortening in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat. Stir until melted and creamy. Use a toothpick to dip each banana bread bite into the chocolate. Use a spoon to help cover the top. Tap on the edge of the bowl to remove the excess chocolate.
- Place on the wax paper lined tray and twist out the toothpick. Cover the hole with a little bit of chocolate and then top with sprinkles. Let set. Keep in a sealed container on the counter.

mmmm! I'm like you and I have to eat what I make. I cannot say no to sweets so I don't make them very often. If I do, I try to bring half to work or I'll end up eating everything myself. Anyway, this looks great! Got any left to share? : )
