Make simple, bite-sized chocolate-covered banana treats without any baking required. These are quick to prepare and set in the freezer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe but firm bananas
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother dipping)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts or sprinkles (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Peel the bananas and slice each into 1-inch thick rounds. You should get about 30 to 36 slices.
  2. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until the banana slices are completely frozen solid.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil, if using. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  5. Remove the frozen banana slices from the freezer. Working quickly, dip each frozen slice into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. You can use a fork or a toothpick for dipping.
  6. If using toppings, immediately sprinkle the chopped nuts or sprinkles onto the wet chocolate coating.
  7. Return the coated banana bites to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Place the baking sheet back into the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is firm.
  9. Transfer the finished bites to an airtight container for storage in the freezer.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are yellow but not overly spotty for the best texture.
  • If you do not have coconut oil, you can use 1 teaspoon of vegetable shortening or skip the added fat, though the chocolate may set thicker.
  • For easy removal from the tray after freezing, you can place a sheet of wax paper between layers of bites in your storage container.
