Banana-Cocoa Sandwich Coins

Fruity Treats

Suggested ages 9–12 Independent prep, with an adult nearby

16 small sandwich coins · Active 12 min · Total 12 min

Two banana rounds can hold a tiny layer of cocoa-peanut spread. A blunt table knife is enough for ripe banana, and small spoonfuls keep the filling from squeezing out. Serve these soft fruit bites on a plate rather than on sticks.

Start with the grown-up check

Sixteen pairs of banana rounds with a thin dark cocoa-peanut filling, arranged flat on a plate without sticks.

Before you begin · grown-up check

The adult checks safe use of a blunt table knife and stays nearby; no sharp knife or heat is used.

  • A grown-up checks ingredient labels, the workspace and the young cook’s readiness before starting. No heat is needed; the grown-up stays nearby.
  • Adult checks bananas are soft enough for a blunt table knife and that the young cook can use it safely.

Ages are a starting guide. A grown-up checks your readiness and stays nearby. Follow the actor label on every step.

Let’s make it

  1. Young cookWash hands with soap and water, clear the work area and read all the steps before measuring.
  2. Young cookStir peanut butter, cocoa and maple syrup until evenly mixed.
  3. Young cookPeel bananas and use the blunt table knife on a plate to cut 16 even rounds from each, making 32 rounds total. Thickness depends on the banana size.
  4. Young cookPut a small dab of spread on 16 rounds and top with the other rounds.
  5. Young cookArrange flat on a plate and serve right away, using fingers or a spoon.

The skill you’re learning

Small filling portions make a neater sandwich. A dab should sit inside the banana’s edge before the top goes on.

Try one change

Use smooth sunflower-seed butter instead of peanut butter; the adult checks all labels for relevant allergens.

Serving & storing

A grown-up puts leftovers in a covered shallow container at 40°F or colder within 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F. Use within 1 day.
