Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Optional Toppings
- 1/4 cup crushed peanuts or almonds
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes until firm.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the Bananas: Dip each frozen banana slice halfway or fully into the melted chocolate and place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add Toppings: Immediately sprinkle the dipped banana slices with crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or mini chocolate chips if desired to add texture and flavor.
- Freeze to Set: Return the tray to the freezer for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
- Serve and Store: Serve the frozen banana bites immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer to enjoy later.
Notes
- You can use dark chocolate or milk chocolate depending on your preference for sweetness and richness.
- For a twist, spread peanut butter between two banana slices to create small banana bite sandwiches before dipping them in chocolate.
