4 servings

- 3 tbsp coconut oil

- ⅛ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions
- 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice each banana into rounds about 3/4-inch thick and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared sheet. Insert a toothpick or short skewer into each piece. Transfer the sheet to the freezer and freeze for at least 30 minutes, until the banana slices are firm to the touch.

Combine the carob chips (or carob powder), coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla powder, Ceylon cinnamon if using, and sea salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is fully melted and smooth, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes, until the coating is slightly thickened but still pourable.
