Place a 12-hole silicone muffin pan onto a chopping board. This makes it easier to bring the filled mild into the freezer later in the recipe. Set aside.
In a blender, blend bananas, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until it's smooth like a banana smoothie.
Chop some walnuts and dark chocolate into big chunks and fold in the mixture.
Divide the mixture evenly into a 12-hole silicone muffin pan.
Freeze overnight until hard.
The next day, cover a plate with parchment paper. Set it aside. This is where you will place the chocolate-covered chunky monkey ice cream bites.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil by microwaving the mixture in 30-second bursts. Stir with a rubber spoon, and microwave again until fully melted and shiny.
Remove the ice cream bites from the freezer, release them from the mold one at a time, and using a fork, quickly dip and flip them to cover them with the melted chocolate. The chocolate shell sets fast, so work quickly.
Place the coated ice cream bite on the plate and sprinkle with extra chopped walnuts. Repeat with the remaining ice cream bites.
Bring back for 10 minutes in the freezer until the chocolate shell has hardened.
Store the chunky monkey ice cream bites in the freezer for up to 3 months in an airtight bag or container.
Remove for 10-12 minutes from the freezer to soften before eating.
