Perfect for parties, holidays, or edible gifts, these easy banana cake pops are fun to decorate and great for using up ripe bananas.

Ingredients

For the Banana Cake:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup milk

For Assembling:

  • 1 cup chocolate frosting

  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted

  • Lollipop sticks

  • Sprinkles or decorative toppings (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch baking pan.

  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. In a separate large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  4. Mix in mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract.

  5. Gradually add dry ingredients, alternating with milk. Mix just until combined.

  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. Allow cake to cool completely.

Form the Cake Pops:

  1. Crumble cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl.

  2. Mix in chocolate frosting until mixture holds together when pressed.

  3. Roll into small balls and place on a lined baking sheet. Chill for 30 minutes.

  4. Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into melted chocolate and insert halfway into each cake ball. Chill 15 minutes to set.

  5. Dip each cake pop into melted chocolate, turning to coat evenly. Tap off excess.

  6. Add sprinkles before coating sets.

  7. Place upright in a foam block or stand until fully hardened.

Notes

  • Make sure cake is completely cooled before crumbling.

  • Chilling helps cake pops hold their shape while dipping.

  • If chocolate coating is too thick, thin with a small amount of coconut oil.

  • Avoid extreme temperature differences to prevent cracking.

  • Store upright to maintain a smooth finish.
