Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup almond flour (or your preferred flour)

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Optional decorations: sprinkles or crushed nuts

4 wooden popsicle sticks

Instructions
 

Prepare the Banana Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mash the ripe bananas with a fork until you've achieved a smooth, creamy consistency.

    Combine Ingredients: Add the almond flour, rolled oats, honey (or maple syrup), cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the mashed bananas. Mix these ingredients together until you have a thick, cohesive dough reminiscent of cookie dough.

      Shape the Cookie Pops: With clean hands, grab small amounts of the dough (approximately 2 tablespoons each) and mold them into an oval or cookie-like shape. Gently insert a wooden popsicle stick into one end of each cookie, pushing it in enough to ensure stability.

        Freeze the Pops: Place your cookie pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart to avoid sticking together. Freeze the pops for at least 1 hour, or until they are firm and easy to handle.

          Melt the Chocolate: While the cookie pops freeze, take the dark chocolate chips and melt them in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.

            Dip the Cookie Pops: Once the cookie pops are solid, dip each one into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

              Add Decorations: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your choice of colorful sprinkles or crushed nuts over the chocolate-covered pops for an extra flair if desired.

                Final Freeze: Return the decorated cookie pops to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Place them back in the freezer for an additional 30 minutes to ensure the chocolate fully hardens.

                  Serve and Enjoy: After the chocolate has set completely, your Frozen Chocolate Banana Cookie Pops are ready to be enjoyed! These pops make for a fantastic dessert or a refreshing snack, especially on warm days.
