    I know I've gushed about bananas before, but are they not the most awesome food?

    My birthday passed a couple of weeks ago, and I told my husband I wanted to successfully make, eat, and love this recipe. So I dove right in and wouldn't you know it, I made, ate, and loved it.

    Happy birthday Lauren.

    White Chocolate Banana Pops

    Prep Time5 mins
    Cook Time15 mins
    Total Time20 mins
    Servings: 6
    Calories: 236kcal
    Author: Lauren Goslin

    Ingredients

    • 3 ripe bananas
    • 4 T. cocoa butter
    • 6 T. coconut butter
    • a couple of pinches of sea salt
    • 3-4 t. honey or maple syrup I did 3, but I've recently tamed my sweet tooth, so taste it to see if you desire more
    • 1 t. vanilla
    • rainbow sprinkles if it's your birthday or you just wish it could be 😉

    Instructions

    • Cut the bananas in half.
    • Skewer them with a popsicle or lollipop stick.
    • Lay them on a wax paper-lined plate.
    • Freeze them.
    • Once they are frozen, assemble the ingredients for the white chocolate.
    • Over low heat, in a saucepan, melt the cocoa and coconut butters together.
    • Remove the pan from the heat.
    • Stir in the salt, sweetener, and vanilla (try to use room temperature ingredients, or the butters will start to clump).
    • Pour the mixture into a tall, narrow glass.
    • Dip your bananas into the mix until coated.
    • Place back onto the plate to harden (this will just take a few moments, as the cold bananas will cause the butters to set quickly).
    • Dip the bananas again into the mix to re-coat (I dipped mine about three times).
    • Upon dipping them the last time, quickly top them with the sprinkles while the coating is still wet. This will allow them to stick.
    • Put the bananas back into the freezer for a few minutes to completely set.
    • Enjoy!

      Hi Lauren. I made something similar to this before but with a cashew coating. It was good, but I really like your idea of using cocoa butter and coconut butter. They pops look adorable and delicious! Thanks for your regular participation in Gluten-Free Wednesdays.

        Thank you Linda! They are a really delicious treat! I love white chocolate, but can't rationalize eating the store-bought kind, so this is a nice substitute! 🙂

      Sounds delicious! I don't have any cocoa butter... can you think of a good substitute?

        Coconut oil would be your best bet! It'll melt much quicker though, so maybe keep them in the freezer a bit longer once they are assembled. 🙂
