Recipe Summary

- Cook Time: 0 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Servings: 4
- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds, peanuts, or hazelnuts work great)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip each banana slice halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped banana slices onto the prepared parchment-papered baking sheet.
- Immediately sprinkle the chocolate-covered portion of each banana slice with chopped nuts before the chocolate hardens.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is set. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Helpful Tips
- For easier chocolate dipping, insert toothpicks into the banana slices before dipping.
- Try using different types of chocolate such as dark, milk, or even white chocolate for variety.
- If you have a nut allergy, try using sprinkles, crushed pretzels, or coconut flakes as an alternative topping.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover chocolate-dipped bananas in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. Enjoy them straight from the freezer for a cool treat any time!
