Ingredients

Scale

(Serves 4–6)

The 3 core ingredients:

2 large ripe bananas, sliced ½” thick
1 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher)
1 tbsp coconut oil (for smooth melting)

Optional toppings (you’ll love these!):

Crunch: Chopped almonds, pecans, or macadamia nuts (you love nuts!)
Sweet-salty: Flaky sea salt (you love this combo!)
Tropical: Unsweetened coconut flakes (you love coconut!)
Protein boost: Hemp seeds or crushed protein cookies

Instructions

1. Prep bananas:

Slice bananas ½” thick; pat very dry with paper towels (moisture prevents chocolate adhesion). Arrange on parchment-lined tray.

2. Melt chocolate:

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between, until smooth (~1–1.5 min total).

3. Dip & decorate:

Dip each banana slice halfway into melted chocolate.
Place back on tray; immediately sprinkle with toppings.
Optional: Drizzle extra melted chocolate over tops for marbled effect.

4. Freeze:

Freeze at least 1 hour until firm. Store in freezer.

5. Serve:

Enjoy straight from the freezer! They soften slightly after 2–3 minutes at room temperature.

💡 Pro Tips for Perfection:
✅ Use ripe but firm bananas—overripe = mushy when frozen.
✅ Pat bananas dry—water causes chocolate to seize or slide off.
✅ Blood sugar friendly (you love this!):
→ Use sugar-free dark chocolate chips
→ Add 1 tbsp chia seeds to chocolate for fiber + glycemic control
→ Net carbs: ~8g/serving
✅ Keto version:
→ Sugar-free chocolate + 1 tbsp MCT oil instead of coconut oil
