Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large bananas, peeled and cut in half
- 8 wooden skewers, chopsticks, or popsicle sticks
- 1/2 cup milk or dark chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
Toppings of Choice
- Dye-free sprinkles
- Coconut flakes
- Crushed graham crackers
- Crushed nuts
- Crushed pretzels
- Hemp seeds
Instructions
- Carefully insert a stick into the cut end of each banana half.
- Arrange your desired toppings in shallow bowls.
- Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a separate shallow microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave for 30–60 seconds, stirring halfway through, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Use a spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate over the bananas.
- Immediately sprinkle with your favorite toppings before the chocolate sets.
- Place the bananas on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze for 2–3 hours, or overnight, until firm.
- Serve straight from the freezer.
Notes
- Work quickly: Add toppings while the chocolate is still melted so they stick.
- Use ripe bananas: They should be sweet but firm enough to hold their shape on the stick.
- For little kids: Use popsicle sticks instead of sharp wooden skewers, and cut the frozen banana into smaller pieces if needed.
- Nut-free option: Stick with coconut, sprinkles, graham crackers, or crushed pretzels for a nut-free topping combination.
