Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Peel 3 large ripe bananas and slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Bake banana slices for 12 minutes until lightly golden and soft but holding shape. Remove and let cool slightly.
  3. Step 3: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 6 oz dark chocolate chips and 1 tbsp coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth and melted.
  4. Step 4: Dip half of each banana slice into the melted chocolate, then immediately sprinkle with 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut and a pinch of sea salt.
  5. Step 5: Place dipped banana bites back on parchment and refrigerate for 20 minutes until chocolate sets. Serve chilled.
