Preparation Steps
- Cut each banana in half lengthwise, then cut each half in half again to create four banana quarters.
- Insert a popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana quarter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and freeze until firm, about 1-2 hours.
- Once the bananas are frozen, melt the chocolate chips and canola oil. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl by heating for 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
- Working quickly, dip each frozen banana quarter into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped banana back onto the wax paper-lined baking sheet.
- Immediately sprinkle with colored sprinkles (if using) onto the chocolate before it hardens.
- Return the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze until the chocolate is completely set and the popsicles are firm, about another hour.
- Enjoy your delicious and healthy frozen banana popsicles!
Notes
Adding a small amount of oil to the chocolate helps create a smoother coating and makes it easier to dip the frozen bananas. You may have leftover melted chocolate, which can be used for other treats like chocolate-covered strawberries.
