Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 3-4 ripe but not over-ripe (no brown spots!) bananas
- 8 popsicle sticks
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Toppings (optional)
- High fiber cereal
- Crispy rice cereal
- Other breakfast cereals crushed (such as corn flakes or cheerios)
- Chopped peanuts or other nuts ages 4+
- Freeze-dried fruit
- Flaked coconut
- Sprinkles
- Hemp hearts
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.
- Cut the bananas into 3-4 inch sections. Usually about 2 or 3 pieces per banana.
- Insert a popsicle stick half way into each banana and place on the baking sheet.
- Freeze bananas for at least 12 hours.
- Once the bananas are frozen, make your dipping sauces.
- To make the peanut butter sauce, place the peanut butter and coconut oil in a mug. Microwave for 30-60 seconds (until all melted).
- To dip, hold the mug on a slant so that the sauce covers the inside side of the mug. Dip a banana in and turn to coat. Allow the excess to drip off. Hold the banana in the air until the glossiness starts to disappear. Place back on the baking sheet and repeat with the others.
- Place the tray of peanut butter dipped bananas back in the freezer.
- To make the chocolate sauce, place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a mug. Microwave on low, stirring every 30 seconds, until the chocolate is all melted.
- To dip, hold the mug on a slant so that the sauce covers the inside side of the mug. Dip a banana in and turn to coat. Allow the excess to drip off. Hold the banana in the air until the glossiness starts to disappear. Place back on baking sheet and repeat with the others.
- If you want toppings, roll the bananas in your desired topping immediately after dipping, before hardening.
