Ingredients

• 4 whole bananas
• 1 cup low-fat dark chocolate chips
• 2 teaspoons coconut oil
• 0.25 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
• 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional)
• 8 pieces popsicle sticks or skewers

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and cut each one in half crosswise. Insert a popsicle stick or skewer into each banana half and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 2

Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 15 minutes to allow the bananas to firm up.

Step 3

Meanwhile, melt the low-fat dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Step 4

Remove the bananas from the freezer. Dip each banana half into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help evenly coat the banana.

Step 5

If desired, sprinkle the chocolate-covered bananas with unsweetened shredded coconut or chopped nuts while the chocolate is still wet.

Step 6

Place the coated bananas back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and return to the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.

Step 7

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
