Ingredients
  

For the banana mixture
  • 4 large ripe bananas, peeled and frozen solid Use very ripe bananas for the sweetest base.
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup For a vegan version, use maple syrup.
  • 1/4 cup unsalted peanuts, roughly chopped For nut-free, use sunflower seed butter.
For the chocolate coating
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips Sprinkle over each scoop if desired.
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil To smooth out the melted chocolate if needed.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix peanut butter and honey until smooth. Stir in chopped peanuts.
  2. Cut frozen bananas into chunks and blend until creamy.
  3. Add dollops of the peanut butter mixture and pulse gently to create swirls.
Coating
  1. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.
  2. Scoop banana mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Insert popsicle sticks if using. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Dip each scoop in melted chocolate. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips if desired, and freeze again until set.

Notes

Store in an airtight container or a lined freezer-safe box with parchment between layers to prevent sticking. They’ll keep well for up to 2 weeks. Work quickly when dipping to keep the banana from thawing. If the chocolate seizes, stir in more coconut oil, a teaspoon at a time.
