Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
  • 4 teaspoons coconut oil

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped nuts
  • Sprinkles
  • Shredded coconut
  • Crushed cookies

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Freezing Surface: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prep the Bananas: Peel the bananas and cut each in half. Insert a popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana half for easy handling.
  3. Freeze the Bananas: Place the bananas on the parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out. Freeze uncovered for at least 1 hour until they are firm enough for dipping.
  4. Set Up Toppings: If using toppings, arrange them in small individual bowls for easy access during dipping.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  6. Coat the Bananas: Remove bananas from the freezer one at a time. Holding each banana over the melted chocolate, spoon chocolate over it while turning to evenly coat, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
  7. Add Toppings: Immediately dip the chocolate-coated bananas into your chosen toppings or sprinkle toppings over the chocolate. Press lightly to help them stick if needed.
  8. Freeze Again: Place the coated bananas back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 more hour to set the chocolate.
  9. Serve and Store: Serve the banana pops immediately or transfer them to a freezer-safe bag to keep frozen for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • Ensure bananas are fully frozen before dipping to prevent the chocolate from melting too quickly.
  • You can use dark, milk, or white chocolate chips according to your preference.
  • Try different toppings such as crushed nuts, sprinkles, shredded coconut, or crushed cookies for varied textures and flavors.
  • If chocolate hardens too much while dipping, warm it gently again in the microwave.
  • For easier handling, insert sturdy popsicle sticks and freeze the bananas well before dipping.
