Chocolate Banana Coconut Fudge Bars

If you love chocolate, coconut, and anything that tastes suspiciously like dessert but happens to have a pretty wholesome ingredient list, these chocolate banana coconut fudge bars are for you.

They’re rich and fudgy without being overly sweet, with ripe bananas doing most of the heavy lifting in the sweetness department. Almond butter adds creaminess, shredded coconut gives them a little texture, and cocoa powder makes them deeply chocolatey.

And the best part? There’s no complicated baking situation here. Just blend, press, chill, slice, and snack.

Ingredients

Almond Flour

Almond flour gives these bars structure while keeping them soft and tender. You can also use a combination of almond flour and coconut flour if that’s what you have on hand.

Shredded Coconut

Unsweetened shredded coconut adds texture and plenty of coconut flavor. Save a little extra for sprinkling over the top.

Almond Butter

Creamy almond butter helps create that rich, fudgy texture while adding healthy fats and nutty flavor.

Ripe Bananas

The riper, the better. Bananas provide natural sweetness and moisture, so don’t reach for perfectly yellow bananas for this recipe. A few brown spots are exactly what you want.

Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

Cocoa powder brings the chocolate. Because there isn’t a ton of added sweetness in this recipe, a good-quality cocoa powder makes a difference.

Dark Chocolate

A little dark or unsweetened chocolate takes these bars from chocolatey to seriously chocolatey.

How To Make Chocolate Banana Coconut Fudge Bars

Add the almond flour, shredded coconut, almond butter, ripe bananas, cocoa powder, and chocolate to a food processor.

Blend until everything is evenly combined and the mixture forms a thick, cohesive dough.

Place a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface and transfer the mixture onto it. Use your hands or a spatula to form the mixture into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.

Sprinkle additional shredded coconut over the top. Gently press the coconut into the surface so it sticks.

Place the bars in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Once chilled, slice the rectangle in half, then cut each half into 8 to 10 slices.

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until evenly combined. Put the mixture on a piece of parchment paper and form it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle more shredded coconut on top and press it into the fudge. Place in the fridge or at least for an hour.
  2. Slice in half and then into 8-10 slices, and then serve. Best if stored in the freezer or refrigerator.

How To Store Chocolate Banana Coconut Fudge Bars

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Keeping them chilled helps maintain their fudgy texture.

You can also freeze them for longer storage. Let a bar thaw for a few minutes before eating for the best texture.

Chocolate Banana Coconut Fudge Bar Variations

Want to switch things up? Try adding chopped walnuts, pecans, cacao nibs, or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top.

You could also swap the almond butter for peanut butter if you want a chocolate peanut butter version.

For even more coconut flavor, add a little extra shredded coconut directly to the mixture before blending.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Coconut Flour?

Yes, but coconut flour absorbs significantly more moisture than almond flour. For the best texture, use the suggested almond flour or a combination of almond flour and coconut flour rather than replacing all of the almond flour with coconut flour.

Do I Have To Refrigerate The Bars?

Yes. Chilling helps the mixture firm up so you can easily slice it into bars.

Can I Freeze These Fudge Bars?

Absolutely. Store them in a freezer-safe container and thaw individual bars as needed.

Final Thoughts

These chocolate banana coconut fudge bars are proof that dessert does not need to involve a long ingredient list or an afternoon spent in the kitchen.

They’re chocolatey, chewy, coconutty, and incredibly easy to make.

Basically, the food processor does the work, and you get to take the credit.

  1. Yummy!

    I love anything that’s thoughtful. If that’s handmade, great! But I love receiving something store bought when I know the person buying it for me really had my heart and interests in mind :)

  7. Wow, these fudge bars look heavenly! I love that they are fruit sweetened (I totally agree that once you start eating naturally sweetened foods, you do realise that desserts sweetened with sugar are waaaay too sweet!). I have been thinking about making edible gifts for my family this year, and these look perfect!

  22. These look delicious!
    I love holiday baking and this year is especially hard for me as I can’t get in the kitchen to bake (we have no stove, the fridge is outside, and we can’t use the main level all week but I did pull the stove out and hook it up to make muffins yesterday and I haven’t turned it on in over a month! I almost cried) with the remodel but hopefully this weekend that will all change!
    I love this post for so many reasons but mainly because I remember the Bakers Chocolate and Bakers Coconut in the kitchen every Christmas as my mom always used them. So many memories and I love how the package hasn’t changed over the years.
