Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium bananas
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts or sprinkles
Instructions
Peel each banana and cut them in half crosswise. Insert a wooden popsicle stick or skewer into the cut end of each banana half.
Place the banana halves onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes or until firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Dip each frozen banana into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help cover the banana evenly and completely.
Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the banana back on the parchment-lined sheet.
Quickly sprinkle the chocolate-covered bananas with chopped nuts or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Return the chocolate-covered bananas to the freezer for at least 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
