FAQ

  • Can I substitute the chocolate hazelnut spread?

    Yes, you can substitute it with peanut butter, almond butter, or any other nut butter you like.
  • Can I use other toppings?

    Of course! Try sprinkles, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or any other toppings you enjoy.
  • Can I freeze these?

    These are not recommended for freezing, as the bananas will become mushy when thawed. It's best to enjoy them fresh.
  • Can I add a pinch of sea salt on top?

    Sure! A little bit of sea salt enhances and balances the sweetness of the chocolate, providing a more complex flavor.
