Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (compliant)
• 0.5 cup coconut flakes (optional, unsweetened)
• 0.5 cup crushed nuts (optional, whole30 compliant)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and cut each into thirds to create equal-sized pieces.

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil gently.

Step 4

Once melted, add the unsweetened cocoa powder and vanilla extract, stirring until a smooth sauce forms.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the chocolate sauce to cool slightly, so it thickens but is still pourable.

Step 6

Using a fork or skewer, dip each banana piece into the chocolate sauce, ensuring it is well-coated.

Step 7

Place the coated banana pieces on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

If using toppings, sprinkle coconut flakes or crushed nuts over the chocolate-coated bananas before the chocolate sets.

Step 9

Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1 hour or until the chocolate is firm.

Step 10

Remove from the freezer and cut any overly large pieces into bite-sized portions if desired. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to enjoy.
