Lay out a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
-
Spread a small amount of peanut butter on top of each banana slice.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

Once the banana slices are frozen, dip each slice into the melted chocolate, coating it completely.

Notes

Feel free to use almond butter or cashew butter instead of peanut butter for different flavors.

Add a sprinkle of sea salt or crushed nuts on top of the chocolate before freezing for an extra layer of texture.

If you prefer a sweeter treat, substitute milk chocolate or white chocolate for dark chocolate.
