Ingredients
- 3 medium bananas thinly sliced
- 20 Medjool dates pitted and halved
- ⅓ cup natural creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup Purely Elizabeth Peanut Butter Cookie Granola
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions
- Prep Your Pan: Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. This makes cleanup a breeze!

- Date Layer: Gently flatten each date half and lay them over the banana slices, creating another even layer.
- Peanut Butter Drizzle: Warm the peanut butter slightly if it's too thick, then drizzle it over the dates. Use a spatula to spread it as evenly as possible.
- Granola Crunch: Sprinkle the Purely Elizabeth Peanut Butter Cookie Granola generously over the peanut butter layer for added texture and flavor.
