Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole bananas
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.25 cup sprinkles (optional)
- 0.25 cup crushed nuts (optional)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and cut each banana in half crosswise.
Stick a popsicle stick about halfway into the cut end of each banana piece, making sure it is secure. Set them aside on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet with the banana halves into the freezer to chill for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Once the bananas are firm, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
Take the frozen bananas out of the freezer. Dip each banana piece into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to coat it evenly if necessary.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your desired toppings, such as sprinkles or crushed nuts, over the coated bananas.
Place the finished bananas back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and return them to the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Once set, the frozen chocolate bananas are ready to be served. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
