Ingredients
- 4 whole bananas
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 cup sprinkles or chopped nuts (optional)
- 4 pieces wooden skewers or popsicle sticks
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and cut each in half crosswise to create 8 smaller pieces.
Step 2
Insert a wooden skewer or popsicle stick into the flat end of each banana piece, then place them on a plate and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 3
While the bananas chill, set up a double boiler or use a microwave-safe bowl to melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together. Stir well until smooth and shiny.
Step 4
Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper.
Step 5
Remove the bananas from the freezer, and carefully dip each banana into the melted chocolate to coat it completely. Let any excess chocolate drip off.
Step 6
Optional: While the chocolate is still wet, roll the coated banana in sprinkles or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Step 7
Place the coated bananas on the parchment-lined sheet and return them to the freezer for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate is set.
Step 8
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
