Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium ripe bananas, peeled and sliced into 1-inch rounds
- 8 ounces dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Optional toppings: crushed nuts (roasted peanuts or almonds), mini rainbow sprinkles, shredded coconut
- Toothpicks or small wooden skewers for dipping
Instructions
- Peel and slice 3 medium ripe bananas into 1-inch rounds. Insert a toothpick or small skewer into each slice for easy dipping. Arrange the banana slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour until firm.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 8 ounces of chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy. Alternatively, melt chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently.
- Working quickly, dip each frozen banana slice into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to help coat evenly if needed. Immediately sprinkle your choice of toppings like crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut before the chocolate sets.
- Place the dipped banana bites back onto the parchment-lined tray. Freeze for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate shell is completely firm and crunchy.
- Once set, serve and enjoy! Keep extras stored in an airtight container in the freezer.
Notes
Freeze bananas fully before dipping to avoid melting and soggy bites. Use coconut oil in chocolate to help it harden with a crisp finish. Work quickly when dipping to prevent chocolate from clumping. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Reheat chocolate gently if it thickens during dipping.
