Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp canola oil
  • colored sprinkles (optional)
  • 4 popsicle sticks

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Cut each banana in half lengthwise, then cut each half in half again to create four banana quarters.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Immediately sprinkle with colored sprinkles (if using) onto the chocolate before it hardens.
  6. Return the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze until the chocolate is completely set and the popsicles are firm, about another hour.
  7. 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.
