Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe bananas
- 1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (almonds or peanuts)
- 0.25 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup sprinkles
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and cut each into halves. Insert a popsicle stick or skewer into each banana half, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 1 hour until they are firm.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the vegan dark chocolate chips and the coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Step 3
Prepare the toppings by placing the chopped nuts, unsweetened shredded coconut, and sprinkles into separate shallow bowls or plates.
Step 4
Remove the frozen bananas from the freezer. One by one, dip each banana half into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to ensure even coverage.
Step 5
Quickly roll or sprinkle the dipped banana with your chosen toppings. You can use nuts, coconut, sprinkles, or any combination for variety.
Step 6
Place the coated bananas back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all bananas are coated, return them to the freezer for another 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Step 7
Once set, enjoy these treats immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
