Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 ripe but firm bananas
- 8 popsicle sticks or skewers
- 1 ¼ cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- ¼ cup chopped toppings peanuts, sprinkles, shredded coconut, sea salt, etc.
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and cut them in half crosswise.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Insert a popsicle stick into each banana half. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
- In a microwave-safe tall glass, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and completely melted.
- Remove bananas from the freezer. Dip each one into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to coat them evenly, if needed. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing the banana back on the parchment paper.
- While the chocolate is still wet, immediately sprinkle chopped peanuts, sprinkles, shredded coconut or sea salt over the bananas. Allow them 5-10 minutes to set at room temperature.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
