Ingredients
  

3 ripe yet firm bananas

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1/2 cup finely chopped nuts (choose from almonds, walnuts, or pistachios)

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 teaspoon sea salt (optional for garnish)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for added flavor)

Instructions
 

Prep the Bananas: Start by peeling the bananas. Cut them into thick slices, approximately 1 inch each. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can leave the bananas whole for a different presentation. Arrange the banana slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. If you’re using vanilla extract, stir it in once the chocolate is melted.

      Dip the Bananas: To coat the banana slices (or whole bananas) in chocolate, use a fork or toothpick. Dip each piece into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely covered. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated bananas back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

        Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle your choice of chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and a light pinch of sea salt over the chocolate-coated bananas. This step adds a delightful texture and flavor contrast.

          Freeze the Bananas: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer, ensuring it is level. Freeze the banana bites for a minimum of 1 to 2 hours, or until the chocolate has hardened, and the bananas are thoroughly frozen.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, carefully remove the chocolate-dipped bananas from the baking sheet. If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the freezer. These bites make a delicious, refreshing treat that is both sweet and healthy—enjoy!
