Chocolate covered bananas, dipped in banana granola to make delicious frozen banana granola pops.
Banana Granola Pops are such a fun after school snack for the kids – or anytime snack for Moms. They are so good! By the time the melted chocolate has the time to harden around the banana (it only takes about a minute!), the frozen banana has softened enough to start eating. Chocolate, Viki’s Granola Banana Walnut Granola clusters and frozen bananas are such a yummy combination.
The following recipe directions are slightly modified from the Banana Granola Pops recipe found at VikisGranola.com
- 4 Bananas
- 3 Tablespoons Viki's Banana Walnut Granola
- 6 ounces Chocolate Chips
- 8 Popsicle Sticks or Cake Pop Sticks
- Peel, cut bananas in half crosswise and insert Popsicle sticks. Place on a parchment-lined tray, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for about 3 hours.
- Place Viki's Banana Walnut Granola into a shallow dish. Melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl on high for 1 minute. Stir and microwave another 30 seconds. Once chips are melted completely, dip each banana into the chocolate (use a spoon to help spread the chocolate.) Immediately roll the chocolate dipped banana in the granola. Place on a parchment-lined tray. Serve immediately or wrap individually in parchment paper or plastic wrap in the freezer.
National Banana Lovers Day is August 27th. Celebrate the most popular fruit in the United States with these chocolate dipped banana granola pops.
Don’t just take my word for it – find out how good this recipe is for yourself. They are quick to make (besides the 3 hours freezing time.) If you have never tried frozen bananas, you are in for a real treat! They are sweet and have an almost ice creamy texture.
To freeze bananas on a stick: Peel bananas, slice in half and insert a cake pop stick or wooden popsicle sticks. Lay the bananas down flat in a single layer on a baking sheet and cover with foil or plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 3 hours.
Viki’s Granola is made with 100% all natural ingredients and is gluten-free. You’ll love the new Banana Walnut flavor addition to the Viki’s Granola line of delicious, soft-baked granola. Unlike other granolas with hard clusters, Viki’s has a fresh, soft, chewy texture and no artificial aftertaste.

Thanks, Crystal! I also made these sliced smaller into bite-sized bananas and dipped them in chocolate before rolling in granola. No sticks necessary and they are a yummy snack eitheri way. 🙂 Thank you for stopping by and for your comments. –Nicole
