Coffee Peanut Butter Banana ("Wired Monkey") Popsicles

These easy coffee popsicles feature sweet banana, creamy peanut butter, and a jolt of caffeine. They're the most satisfying summer treat (or maybe even breakfast!).

Ingredients

  • Two medium-sized, ripe bananas
  • 0.5 c strongly brewed, cooled coffee
  • 0.25 c peanut butter
  • 0.25 c dark chocolate
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Brew and cool the coffee.
  2. Combine the bananas, coffee, and peanut butter in a high-power blender and blend until you have a creamy, smooth texture.
  3. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds or paper cups. This should fill about four regular-size popsicle molds, three large paper cups, or six small paper cups.
  4. Freeze the mixture for about an hour, or just until the top surface has barely solidified. Insert popsicle sticks about two-thirds of the way in, making sure that the sticks are centered and upright.
  5. Freeze overnight.
  6. If using molds, run them under hot water for a few seconds before removing the popsicles.
  7. For the drizzle, combine the dark chocolate with the coconut oil and melt it on the stovetop or in the microwave until smooth and glossy, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Drizzle each popsicle with chocolate and return it to the freezer until hardened.
  8. Store the finished popsicles for up to a week in a tightly-sealed container in the freezer.
