Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bananas
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts or sprinkles (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Step 2
Peel the bananas and cut them in half crosswise, making eight pieces total.
Step 3
Insert a wooden skewer or popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana piece, then place them on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 15-30 minutes.
Step 4
In the meantime, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted.
Step 5
Remove the bananas from the freezer. Dip each banana piece into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help coat evenly, then allow excess chocolate to drip off.
Step 6
If desired, immediately sprinkle chopped nuts or sprinkles over the chocolate-covered banana before it sets.
Step 7
Place the chocolate-covered bananas back onto the lined baking sheet. Repeat until all banana pieces are coated.
Step 8
Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer, and let the bananas set for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store the chocolate-covered bananas in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
