Ingredients
  

3 ripe but firm bananas

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1/2 cup finely chopped nuts (e.g. almonds, walnuts, or pistachios)

1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Bananas: Peel the bananas and cut them into thick slices (about 1 inch each), or you can leave them whole if desired. Place the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted. Add in the vanilla extract if using.

      Dip the Bananas: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each banana slice (or whole banana) into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place the coated bananas back on the baking sheet.

        Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle the chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate-dipped bananas before the chocolate sets.

          Freeze the Bananas: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is firm and the bananas are frozen through.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, remove the chocolate-dipped bananas from the baking sheet. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. Enjoy as a refreshing, sweet, and healthy treat!
