Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup dark chocolate chips (or vegan chocolate chips)

3 tablespoons chia seeds

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into rounds, about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

    Make the Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavor.

      Chia Seed Coating: In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds with a little water (about 2 tablespoons) and allow them to sit for 5 minutes, until they form a gel-like consistency.

        Coat the Banana Rounds: Dip each banana slice into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully covered. Shake off any excess chocolate and then dip the coated banana into the chia seed mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

          Freeze the Prepared Rounds: Place the coated banana rounds back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all slices are coated, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1-2 hours or until the bananas are completely frozen.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, transfer the rounds to an airtight container and store in the freezer. Enjoy them straight from the freezer for a refreshing treat!
