Bite-sized frozen banana rounds coated in Greek yogurt, customizable with nuts, coconut, or chocolate chips.
# What You Need:
→ Fruit
01 - 2 medium ripe bananas
→ Yogurt Base
02 - 3/4 cup (180 g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
→ Sweetener & Flavorings
03 - 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
04 - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
→ Toppings
05 - 1/4 cup (30 g) chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or mini chocolate chips (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - Peel the bananas and cut them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
03 - In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and well blended.
04 - Dip each banana round into the yogurt mixture, turning to coat evenly on all sides. Use a fork or toothpick for easier handling.
05 - Place each yogurt-coated banana slice onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a small gap between pieces.
06 - Sprinkle your choice of chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or mini chocolate chips over the coated banana slices while the yogurt is still soft.
07 - Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely firm and set.
08 - Transfer the frozen bites to an airtight container and store in the freezer until ready to serve.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- They take about fifteen minutes of actual work and the freezer handles the rest while you put your feet up.
- You probably already have everything you need sitting in your kitchen right now which makes them the ultimate zero effort sweet tooth fix.
02 -
- Do not skip the parchment paper on the tray because frozen yogurt fused to bare metal is a heartbreak I have lived through.
- Letting them sit at room temperature for two or three minutes before eating transforms the texture from icy to perfectly creamy.
03 -
- Use a flat spatula to lift bites off the parchment if they stick slightly after freezing rather than prying with your fingers which can dent the yogurt coating.
- Making a double batch is no extra effort and you will be grateful when the craving hits at ten o clock on a Tuesday night.
