Ingredients
- 4 bananas (ripen but firm)
- 8.8 oz dark chocolate chips (or semisweet chocolate)
- 2 tsp neutral oil (optional – I usually skip it)
- 1 cup almonds (can use granola, pecans, walnuts, or coloful sprinkles)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. You will need 8 popsicle sticks.
- Line a toaster oven tray with aluminum foil and toast the almonds in a toaster oven.
- Chop or grind the toasted almonds.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the bananas in half, insert a popsicle stick into each half, and then peel bananas. Place them on the baking sheet.
- Cut the chocolate into small pieces (so it melts easily) if you are not using chocolate chips. Put the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and add vegetable oil (to make the chocolate texture smooth, but I normally skip). Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring with a spoon in between each heating. The chocolate pieces might look they are not melted but when you stir, they can be already super soft. Be careful not to overheat; when it burns you can’t use the chocolate anymore.
- Roll each banana in the melted chocolate and use a spoon to pour the chocolate over the banana to coat. Then immediately sprinkle almonds onto chocolate before it sets.
- Freeze chocolate bananas for 30 minutes.
- Enjoy!
