Vegan Choco-Peanutbutter Banana Pops

(24)
  • Minutes to Prepare:
  • Number of Servings: 14
Ingredients
7 small bananas2 tsp cocoa1/4 cup peanut butter14 popsicle sticks
Directions
Peel and cut bananas it half. Put a popsicle stick in each half.
Melt peanut butter in the microwave for 1 minute, on half power.
Mix in cocoa with the peanut butter.
Get a brush (I use a silicone one) and brush the mixture on all sides of each banana. Place on parchment paper. (You could also just drizzle it on). You can put them in the freezer just like that, but I put them in a fridge for a few to harden them a bit, then wrap each pop in plastic wrap and put them in the freezer.
Freeze for at least an hour.
A great little low calorie snack.

You can roll them in chocolate chips or chopped nuts after adding the peanut butter glaze.

    I used natural peanut butter to make these and they didn't look very pretty, but they tasted amazing. I plan to make them again soon. :D Yum! - 7/20/10

    Made these yesterday. Used only 1tbsp. peanut butter, 1 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder, and added square of dark baking chocolate.
    Didn't have any popsicle sticks so sliced the bananas, dipped them, froze on parchment lined cookie sheet, transfered to a freezer bag. Everyone loved them. - 6/8/10

    Uh, I think this was designed for regular peanut butter, not natural peanut butter. It didn't work so great for me. :/ - 7/8/10

    Subbed 2 Hershey's Bliss Raspberry bites for cocoa powder and it was amazing! - 6/8/10

    These were ok. Mine didn't look as smooth as the picture. The mixture only made 6 half bananas, not 14. I think adding the nuts or coconut would make a big difference. - 6/17/10

    I love this idea. I love to take frozen bananas and whirl them around in a food processor to make banana ice cream, but this sounds really good for individual banana pops. - 6/8/10

    Have them in the freezer now. Had to keep reheating the peanut butter mixture and only got 8 half bananas, but I think they'll be great! - 6/20/13

    As it isn't specified, does this refer to cocoa powder, or cocoa mixed up with water/milk? It might be easier to brush onto the bananas if using the liquid form, though it wouldn't be as chocolaty. - 1/7/13

    I tried substituting for the cocoa & it did not work at all! It would have been fine with just the peanut butter or just the chocolate but together they solidified. I'll definitely try the cocoa & pre-freeze the bananas so they don't fall off the sticks. Maybe try some of the other suggestions, too! - 7/19/12

    I loved these, although couldn't figure out how to get the chocolate to cover all of the banana, but it was still good! - 5/5/12

    I think it is a little bitter. I used natural peanut butter which doesn't have added sugar . Plus it was more like a paste and didn't smooth onto the bananas very well. The flavor was a little better when sweetened by the banana. but still had a bitter background. - 1/24/11
