Step 1

Peel the bananas and cut them in half, width-wise. Gently insert a wooden stick into the cut-end of each banana half, making sure it's firmly in place.

Step 2

Arrange the banana pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for about 1 hour or until firm.

Step 3

Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove.

Step 4

Dip each frozen banana half into the melted chocolate, turning to coat it evenly. Let the excess chocolate drip off.

Step 5

Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle over any toppings, if using.

Step 6

Place the chocolate-covered bananas back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze until the chocolate is set and the bananas are solid, about 1 hour.

Step 7

Enjoy chocolate covered bananas right from the freezer.
