Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

1/4 cup crushed nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)

1/4 cup shredded coconut

1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles (optional)

Wooden popsicle sticks

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and cut them into 1-inch thick slices. You can also leave them whole for traditional pop shapes. Insert a wooden popsicle stick into one end of each banana slice or whole banana for easier handling.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

      Dip the Bananas: Dip each banana slice or whole banana into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are completely coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.

        Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still wet, roll or sprinkle the banana pops with your choice of crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or rainbow sprinkles. Be creative and mix and match to your liking!

          Set the Pops: Place the coated banana pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all the banana pieces are coated, place them in the freezer for about 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate has hardened.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once set, remove the pops from the freezer and serve immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
