Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2–3 Ripe Bananas (yellow skins with a few brown spots)
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil or Butter

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped Nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans) – as desired
  • Sea Salt – a pinch for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into 1-inch thick rounds. Aim for uniform size to ensure even dipping and freezing later.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Combine the chocolate chips and a teaspoon of coconut oil or butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and glossy.
  3. Dip the Banana Slices: Use a fork or toothpick to dip each banana piece into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s coated evenly. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing it on parchment paper.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle your chosen toppings like chopped nuts or sea salt on the chocolate-coated banana while it’s still wet for them to stick.
  5. Freeze Until Set: Place the banana bites in the freezer on a lined tray for at least one hour or until the chocolate hardens.

Notes

  • Use slightly underripe firm bananas to hold shape and avoid mushiness after freezing.
  • Work quickly while dipping as chocolate hardens fast for a smooth coating.
  • Line the tray with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking when freezing.
  • Taste test your melted chocolate before dipping to adjust sweetness or flavor if needed.
  • For a thicker chocolate coating, dip twice, letting the first layer set before the second.
