Directions

1. Prepare the Bananas:

Peel the bananas and cut them into small slices. Set aside a few banana slices for garnish, if desired.

2. Mix the Yogurt Base:

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until smooth and well-blended.

3. Add Bananas:

Gently fold in the sliced bananas to the yogurt mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

4. Incorporate Chocolate and Nuts:

Sprinkle in the dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) into the yogurt mixture. Give it a soft stir to combine.

5. Prepare the Cups:

Line a muffin tin with mini cupcake liners or use silicone molds. Spoon the yogurt mixture into each cup, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.

6. Top with Extras:

If you saved some banana slices, place them on top of each cup. For an extra touch, you can add a few more chocolate chips on top.

7. Freeze:

Carefully place the muffin tin or molds in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.

8. Serve:

Once frozen, remove the cups from the molds or liners. Let them sit at room temperature for a minute before enjoying. These are best served right away but can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.

You can add flavorings like cinnamon, vanilla extract, or even a splash of almond extract for extra depth of flavor in the yogurt mixture.

6. Can I use larger cupcake liners or molds?

Yes, you can skip the nuts entirely or use other toppings like shredded coconut, granola, or chopped dried fruit for variety.

8. Can I add a swirl of peanut butter or Nutella?

Definitely! Swirling some peanut butter or Nutella into the yogurt mixture before freezing will add an extra layer of flavor and richness.
