Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice each one in half, giving you 8 pieces.
Insert a popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana half. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave the chocolate mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Dip each banana piece into the melted chocolate, turning it to coat evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
Place the chocolate-covered bananas back on the parchment-lined sheet. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over them before the chocolate hardens.
Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and let the bananas freeze for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate is firm.
Serve the dairy-free chocolate-covered bananas straight from the freezer. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
