Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe bananas
- 1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (almonds or peanuts)
- 0.25 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup sprinkles
Instructions
Peel the bananas and cut each into halves. Insert a popsicle stick or skewer into each banana half, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 1 hour until they are firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the vegan dark chocolate chips and the coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Prepare the toppings by placing the chopped nuts, unsweetened shredded coconut, and sprinkles into separate shallow bowls or plates.
Remove the frozen bananas from the freezer. One by one, dip each banana half into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to ensure even coverage.
Quickly roll or sprinkle the dipped banana with your chosen toppings. You can use nuts, coconut, sprinkles, or any combination for variety.
Place the coated bananas back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all bananas are coated, return them to the freezer for another 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Once set, enjoy these treats immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
