Description
A delicious and healthy treat made with ripe bananas and Greek yogurt, perfect for a refreshing snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup granola or chopped nuts (for coating)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and cut them in half. Insert a popsicle stick into each half and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Dip each banana half into the yogurt mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Roll the coated bananas in granola or chopped nuts until evenly covered.
- Place the coated bananas back on the baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours or until solid.
- If using chocolate, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Drizzle over the frozen banana pops before serving.
Notes
- For a chocolate-covered version, dip the frozen banana pops in melted chocolate and then return them to the freezer to set.
- Experiment with different toppings such as shredded coconut, crushed pretzels, or sprinkles for added flavor and texture.
