Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole bananas
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 cup sprinkles or chopped nuts (optional)
- 4 pieces wooden skewers or popsicle sticks
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Instructions
Peel the bananas and cut each in half crosswise to create 8 smaller pieces.
Insert a wooden skewer or popsicle stick into the flat end of each banana piece, then place them on a plate and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
While the bananas chill, set up a double boiler or use a microwave-safe bowl to melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together. Stir well until smooth and shiny.
Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper.
Remove the bananas from the freezer, and carefully dip each banana into the melted chocolate to coat it completely. Let any excess chocolate drip off.
Optional: While the chocolate is still wet, roll the coated banana in sprinkles or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Place the coated bananas on the parchment-lined sheet and return them to the freezer for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate is set.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
