6 banana pops
Gluten Free
Vegan
Ingredients
- 3 large bananas (ripe but firm is best)
- Popsicle sticks
- 1/3 cup natural smooth peanut butter (or other nut/seed butter)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, divided
- 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Toppings of choice:
- Chopped nuts
- Granola
- Qi'a Original Chia, Buckwheat & Hemp Cereal
- Chia seeds
- Matcha powder
- Cacao nibs
- Shredded coconut
- Vegan caramel sauce
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and slice in half widthwise. Push a popsicle stick into the bottom of each banana half.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the peanut butter and 1 teaspoon coconut oil. Stir until melted and smooth. Coat each banana half in the peanut butter mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Place on a small tray lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- Create a double boiler by filling a small saucepan with 1 inch of water and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
- Cover with a metal bowl so it is snug but doesn’t touch the water. Add the chocolate chips and remaining 2 teaspoons coconut oil and stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Coat each frozen banana in the melted chocolate mixture and immediately cover with desired toppings. Place back on the parchment-lined tray and freeze until chocolate is solidified, at least one hour.
