Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bananas
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Peel the bananas and cut them in half crosswise, making eight pieces total.
Insert a wooden skewer or popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana piece, then place them on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 15-30 minutes.
In the meantime, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted.
Remove the bananas from the freezer. Dip each banana piece into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help coat evenly, then allow excess chocolate to drip off.
If desired, immediately sprinkle chopped nuts or sprinkles over the chocolate-covered banana before it sets.
Place the chocolate-covered bananas back onto the lined baking sheet. Repeat until all banana pieces are coated.
Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer, and let the bananas set for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.
Serve immediately or store the chocolate-covered bananas in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
