Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup dark chocolate chips (or milk chocolate chips for a sweeter treat)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, to create a smoother chocolate coating)

Sea salt (optional, for a hint of saltiness)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, for added crunch)

1/4 cup granola (optional, for a delightful texture and flavor)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Start by peeling the ripe bananas and slicing them into 1-inch thick rounds. Arrange the banana slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips with the coconut oil if you choose to use it. Heat the mixture in the microwave on high power for 30 seconds. After each interval, stir the chocolate to ensure even melting. Repeat this process until the chocolate is completely melted and silky smooth. Be cautious not to overheat, as chocolate can burn easily.

      Coat the Banana Slices: Take a fork and dip each banana slice into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. For an extra flavor boost, feel free to sprinkle some chopped nuts or granola on top of the chocolate-covered banana slices before the chocolate sets.

        Freeze the Bites: Place the chocolate-coated banana slices back onto the parchment-lined baking tray. If you desire, sprinkle a light pinch of sea salt on top to create a delicious sweet-and-salty contrast.

          Chill: Transfer the tray to the freezer and let the banana bites chill for at least 1 to 2 hours, or until the chocolate has hardened and the bananas are frozen solid.

            Serve: Once your frozen banana bites are ready, carefully remove them from the tray. Store them in an airtight container in the freezer. Enjoy these delightful treats straight from the freezer for a refreshing and indulgent snack!
