Peel the bananas and slice each banana into approximately 4 equal pieces. For smaller bite-sized portions, cut each banana into 6 pieces.
Insert a small wooden stick or skewer into one end of each banana piece. This will make it easier to dip them in chocolate later.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside for the finished chocolate-covered bananas.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate and coconut oil using a double boiler over simmering water.
Dip each banana piece into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to ensure it's fully covered.
If desired, sprinkle the chocolate-covered bananas with chopped nuts immediately after dipping to ensure they adhere to the chocolate.
Place the dipped bananas onto the prepared baking sheet.
Once all bananas are coated, transfer the baking sheet to the freezer for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the chocolate-covered bananas to an airtight container and store them in the freezer until ready to serve.
Enjoy these low-carb chocolate-covered bananas straight from the freezer for a cool, refreshing treat.
