Calories
Equipment
- popsicle sticks
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas but firm, peeled and cut in half
- 2/3 cup chocolate chips, use semi-sweet or dark
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 2 Tablespoons creamy peanut butter, see notes
Instructions
- Prepare pan: first, line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Insert popsicle sticks: place the popsicle stick in the center bottom of the banana and press until halfway inserted.
- Melt chocolate: place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30-second intervals, stirring in between until completely melted.
- Coat bananas with chocolate: hold bananas over bowl of melted chocolate, and use a spoon to drizzle chocolate over top. Coat completely then arrange chocolate-covered bananas on pan with parchment paper.
- Drizzle peanut butter: then use a fork or a spoon to drizzle peanut butter over bananas. Note: if you'd like to add additional toppings to your frozen bananas, add them after the peanut butter so the toppings set and freeze with the chocolate.
- Freeze: place sheet pan with bananas in freezer. Freeze for 1 hour or until chocolate and bananas are completely frozen. Serve them right away and enjoy!
Notes
Bananas should be ripe - but firm: you want the banana pops to taste sweet, so make sure they are ripe. But if they're too ripe - too many brown spots - they may be too soft to stay properly on the stick.
Use natural peanut butter or add coconut oil: in order to drizzle the peanut butter, you'll need natural nut butter. If your peanut butter is thicker, you can warm it in the microwave with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Stir together completely and drizzle.
How long do they keep? These bananas should keep for about 2-3 weeks. Place in a freezer-friendly ziplock bag and keep bananas stored in the freezer.
