They’re a refreshing way to satisfy your sweet tooth and get a little boost of healthy fats, fiber, and potassium—making them a treat you can feel great about enjoying any time of day!

Substitutions: Chocolate, Coconut Oil & Bananas

Chocolate Chips: This recipe uses vegan semisweet chocolate chips, but you can also use a chocolate bar or chocolate chunks, since the chocolate will be melted either way. Swap in dark chocolate for semisweet, although it will be more bitter. Check the ingredient label to make sure there’s no milk or milk powder added into the chocolate, to ensure it’s dairy-free.

Refined Coconut Oil: This helps the chocolate melt in a more creamy consistency, and also freeze with a “crunchy” texture. Vegan butter or nut butters won’t do the same thing. Omit the coconut oil if you don’t have any on hand.

In that case, when you melt the chocolate, place the bowl of chocolate chips above a bowl of boiled water. Stir constantly to allow the chocolate to melt. It won’t be as liquid-y as adding the oil to it, but it’ll do.

Banana: Choose bananas that are ripe but still firm. Overripe bananas can become too soft and mushy, which makes them harder to dip and freeze well. Firm bananas hold their shape better and provide that satisfying bite after freezing.

Substitutions: Peanuts & Peanut Butter

Peanuts: Roasted, salted peanuts work best for this recipe. Raw peanuts don’t have any additional oil or salt added, and won’t add as much of a flavor and crunch. Slivered almonds or chopped pecans can be a great option instead of roasted peanuts as well. You can toast them on a stovetop on low heat, until lightly toasted, before sprinkling on the bananas.

Peanut Butter: Use creamy peanut butter for easier dipping and a smooth coating. Look for natural peanut butter, which contains 100% peanuts on the ingredient label. This type of peanut butter has the natural oils separate from the peanuts, so you’ll need to give it a good stir before using.

If your peanut butter has been stored in the fridge, or has been opened for a long time, it may have hardened – be wary of this, because you won’t be able to dip the bananas into a jar of nut butter if you can’t easily dip a spoon in and have the peanut butter “drip” off.

Note: Easily heat up a refrigerated jar of peanut butter by placing in a bowl of boiled water.

Chocolate Covered Peanut Banana Popsicles Recipe Notes

• Chopped peanuts add a great crunch, but feel free to get creative! Crushed almonds, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt also make tasty additions that complement the flavors.
