AIP Friendly Coconut & Cinnamon Frozen Banana Coins
Creamy, cold, and naturally sweet, these frozen banana coins are the kind of treat that feels indulgent without straying from the clean, whole-food ingredients that make the autoimmune protocol work. Ripe bananas get sliced into coins, pre-frozen for firmness, then dipped in a silky coating of full-fat coconut milk, honey, Ceylon cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt — nothing hidden, nothing questionable. Ceylon cinnamon is the right call here since it's the gentler, more aromatic variety, and it pairs beautifully with the natural sweetness of the banana without overpowering it. The coconut milk coating sets into a luscious shell straight from the freezer, giving you that satisfying snap you'd expect from a far more complicated dessert. A sprinkle of unsweetened shredded coconut on top adds a little texture and makes each coin look almost too pretty to eat. This recipe makes enough for four servings, so it's easy to prep a batch and keep them stashed in the freezer for whenever a craving hits. Simple, freezer-friendly, and completely free of grains, dairy, and refined ingredients — this one earns a permanent spot in your rotation.

4 servings
- 3 medium ripe bananas
For the coconut coating
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tbsp honey
Ingredient noteAIP restricts added sweeteners, but small occasional amounts of unrefined honey are accepted on the protocol; the ~3/4 teaspoon per serving here likely stays within that limited allowance. If you prefer to always avoid honey, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp ceylon cinnamon
- 1 pinch fine sea salt
For serving
- 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it in the freezer for at least 10 minutes to chill.
- 2
Slice the bananas into rounds about 1/2-inch thick and arrange them in a single layer on the chilled parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 20 minutes, until the surface of each slice is firm enough to hold a coating without sliding.
