    Vegan Chocolate Banana Pops

    Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

    The best treats are the ones that are easy to prepare and still taste great. These vegan chocolate banana pops are no exception to that. After freezing overnight these gluten-free goodies take less than 5 minutes to decorate and assemble.

    They consist of half a frozen banana on a skewer, dipped in melted vegan chocolate and topped with whatever you like. With all of these tasty feartures combined, you then have yourself a delicious icy snack!

    Freezing these banana treats gives them the texture of what you'd expect a popsicle to have. The only difference is that they are sweeter, much creamier and definitely healthier.

    Some other banana and chocolate treats that you'll love are my vegan caramelized bananas, vegan brownie cookie dough, vegan banana chocolate chip muffins and my vegan strawberry shortcake white chocolate cheesecake recipes.

    Why You Will Love These Banana Pops

    • A Great Flavor Combination - Bananas with chocolate has always been one of my go-to combinations in many kinds of desserts and this recipe is another one to add to that collection. I also love it in my vegan chocolate banana bread.
    • So Moreish - These banana pops don't last very long in our household, that's for sure. Once they're ready, it's unbelievably easy to eat one after the other. They're so moreish! Yes, you have to leave them in the freezer overnight which can feel like a long wait when you have cravings, but it's totally worth the wait.
    • Easy to Make - This is one of the simplest recipes that I have ever made but ironically, they're one of my favorites in terms of their comfort-food factor. Some other simple treats that you'll love include my vegan biscoff brownie bark and my vegan edible single serve cookie dough.
    • Allergy Friendly & Plant Based - This vegan chocolate banana pops recipe is completely vegan, gluten free and dairy free.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Medium bananas - You will then chop these in half to create 'mini popsicles'. These will be the ideal size for a snack and they will also be very kid-friendly.
    • Vegan chocolate chips - You can also use a regular dairy free chocolate for the dip if you prefer. It will make no difference to the final out come. Follow the same preparation methods.
    • Coconut oil - Adding this to the chocolate before heating it will help the melting to be even and smooth. You don't want your melted chocolate dip to be clumpy and firm. It also worked great for melting the chocolate in my vegan flourless almond chocolate cake and my vegan chocolate cinnamon french toast rolls.
    • Roasted peanuts - These will be used as a topping for the banana pops. If you also decided to use the optional peanut butter for the chocolate dip, these will be a nut butter lover's dream.
    • Desiccated coconut - This is the second topping option which I recommend.

    See recipe card for full information on individual ingredients and quantities.

    Substitutions & Variations

    • If you don't want chopped nuts or desiccated coconut on top of your popsicles, you can change the toppings. Some people like to have sprinkles on their banana pops like the one I used in my vegan caramel rice krispie treats. Some people enjoy cereal, or dried fruit. The toppings you can add onto your chocolate coatings are endless and they're all so much fun to make!
    • You can make these banana desserts bigger by using full bananas, instead of cutting them in half. They still taste the same this way, but they last twice as long and that's a great thing if you ask me.

    How To Make Vegan Chocolate Lava Cakes

    For the full method, please refer to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    1: Chop the bananas in half and place in the freezer overnight.

    2: Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in microwave.

    3: Dip frozen bananas into melted vegan chocolate.

    4: Decorate with your choice of toppings.

    5: Enjoy and place any uneaten banana pops back in the freezer.

    Expert Tips

    Let them freeze fully - Even though you may be tempted to try these vegan chocolate banana pops as soon as possible, I highly recommend that you leave them in the freezer overnight and nothing less. You want them to be as firm as possible upon leaving the freezer as it helps the warm chocolate to coat it in a smoother fashion. Taking them out too soon can also mean that they're not fully set and lets face it, nobody wants a soggy banana pop!

    Don't leave out the oil - Even though it is possible to melt chocolate chips nicely without coconut oil, having it at hand will make your life much easier. The chocolate will melt more effortlessly.

    Don't let anything go to waste - Be sure to re-freeze any that you don't think you'll eat as they'll become soggy and otherwise, go to waste.

    Ingredients

    Banana Pops:

    • 5 medium bananas
    • 10 popsicle sticks/skewers

    Coatings:

    • 300 g vegan chocolate chips
    • 2.5 tablespoons coconut oil
    • 50 g peanut butter optional

    Toppings:

    • 20 g salted roasted peanuts chopped
    • 10 g desiccated coconut
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    Prepare the bananas: 

    • Peel the bananas and cut them in half.
    • Stick a popsicle stick or a skewer into the chopped end of each banana so that they are sturdy, stable and holdable. Freeze overnight on a covered baking tray.

    Make the coating the next day:

    • In a microwave-safe mason jar, add the chocolate chips along with the coconut oil. If you want a nuttier chocolate taste, add the optional peanut butter here too. Give it a mix so that the chocolate and peanut butter are covered by the coconut oil.
    • Microwave the mixture in 20 second intervals, stirring well in between each. Repeat this process until the chocolate is smooth and runny.
    • Take the frozen bananas out of the freezer and dip them into the melted chocolate one at a time. After dipping, immediately top them with the peanuts, desiccated coconut or your choice of toppings. Make sure that you complete this process as quickly as possible so that the chocolate doesn't harden in the jar. 
    • Let the chocolate set at room temperature. If you don't eat them all, place back in the freezer again. Enjoy!
