Ingredients
- 4 medium bananas
- 6 oz chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons chopped almonds, peanuts, sprinkles, and/or shredded coconut
- 8 bamboo skewers or popsicle sticks
Instructions
- Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel the bananas and cut each banana in half.
- Insert a bamboo skewer or popsicle stick into each banana half.
- Arrange the bananas on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour or until fully frozen.
- Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together using a double boiler or microwave. If using a microwave, heat for 1 minute, stir, then continue heating in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- Dip each frozen banana half into the melted chocolate, coating as much as desired.
- Immediately sprinkle with chopped almonds, peanuts, sprinkles, shredded coconut, or other toppings before the chocolate sets.
- Return the coated bananas to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Serve immediately or freeze until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Work quickly when decorating, as the chocolate hardens rapidly on frozen bananas.
- Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Use dairy-free chocolate chips to keep the recipe vegan.
- Try different toppings such as crushed cookies, mini chocolate chips, or chopped nuts.
