Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice each one in half, giving you 8 pieces.
Step 2
Insert a popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana half. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Step 4
Microwave the chocolate mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Step 5
Dip each banana piece into the melted chocolate, turning it to coat evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
Step 6
Place the chocolate-covered bananas back on the parchment-lined sheet. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over them before the chocolate hardens.
Step 7
Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and let the bananas freeze for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate is firm.
Step 8
Serve the dairy-free chocolate-covered bananas straight from the freezer. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
