Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe bananas
- 200 grams sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 50 grams finely chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and cut each into two even halves. Insert a wooden stick or skewer into each banana half, then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 2
Freeze the bananas for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Step 4
Dip each frozen banana half into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help evenly coat the banana. Let any excess chocolate drip off.
Step 5
Immediately sprinkle the finely chopped nuts onto the chocolate-covered bananas before the chocolate sets. The nuts should adhere to the chocolate coating.
Step 6
Return the chocolate-covered bananas to the parchment-lined baking sheet and place them in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully harden.
Step 7
Once the chocolate is set, serve the chocolate-covered bananas immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
