Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Bananas
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.25 cup Sprinkles (optional)
- 0.25 cup Desiccated coconut (optional)
- 8 sticks Popsicle sticks
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Instructions
Peel the bananas and cut each banana in half crosswise to create 8 shorter pieces.
Insert a popsicle stick into the flat end of each banana half, ensuring it goes in far enough to hold securely.
Place the bananas on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour or until firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
Remove the frozen bananas from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help coat the entire banana if needed.
Immediately sprinkle the chocolate-dipped bananas with your choice of toppings such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or desiccated coconut while the chocolate is still wet.
Place the coated banana pops back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for an additional 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
