Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium ripe bananas, peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 8 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped or in chip form
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Peel and cut 3 ripe bananas into ½-inch rounds, keeping them uniform in size.
- Arrange banana slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for about 1 hour until firm but not rock hard.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 8 ounces of chopped semi-sweet or dark chocolate with 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Using tongs or a fork, dip each frozen banana slice into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Sprinkle optional toppings immediately if desired.
- Place coated banana slices back on the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them out to prevent sticking.
- Freeze the chocolate banana bites for at least 2 hours until the chocolate coating is fully set and crisp.
- Once frozen solid, transfer the bites to an airtight freezer-safe container and keep frozen until ready to enjoy.
Notes
Pre-freezing banana slices is essential to prevent melting and ensure the chocolate coating sets properly. Use coconut oil in the chocolate to achieve a shiny, crisp finish. Work quickly when dipping bananas to avoid melting. Let bites sit at room temperature for a minute before eating for a creamier texture. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, separating layers with parchment paper.
