Frozen Chocolate Banana Bites

​These are my absolute favorite treat on ridiculously hot summer days. They're the perfect mix of cold and chocolatey and super easy to make. If you eat them straight, without putting them back in the freezer, the chocolate forms a shell that makes the frozen banana softer and easier to chew. 

The best part, is it gives you a way to use that super brown banana that's been sitting in your windowsill for the past week (trust me, we all have one). Make sure you don't remove the banana from the freezer until you're ready to cover it in chocolate. This helps it to stay frozen long enough to make the chocolate shell harden.

All you need are some vegan chocolate chips, a banana and a little bit of coconut oil and you're good to go!

What you'll need:
1 banana (the riper the better)
1/2 cup chocolate chips
2 Tbsp coconut oil

1. Slice your banana into thin rounds, set them on a piece of aluminum foil and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until frozen.
2. Leaving the frozen banana in the freezer, put the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
3. Microwave the bowl in increments of 20-seconds, stirring between, until the chocolate has melted.
4. Remove the sheet of tinfoil with the banana on it from the freezer and set it next to the bowl of melted chocolate.
5. Using a spoon, dunk the banana slices, one by one, in the chocolate and then set them back on the tinfoil
6. The chocolate shell should form in just a few seconds!
