Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole bananas
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 cup crushed nuts (optional)
- 0.25 cup sprinkles (optional)
- 0.25 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice each one in half crosswise.
Insert a wooden popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana half to create a handle.
Place the banana halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 1 hour or until firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
Prepare your toppings by placing them in shallow bowls or plates for easy coating.
Remove the frozen bananas from the freezer. Dip each banana into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to coat evenly if needed.
Quickly roll or sprinkle the chocolate-dipped bananas with your choice of toppings before the chocolate hardens.
Place the coated bananas back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and return to the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until completely frozen.
Once frozen, serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
