Ingredients
Scale
main ingredients:
- 2 bananas
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup plain yogurt
dairy and binding ingredients:
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
optional toppings/garnish:
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Thoroughly mash ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy, eliminating any significant lumps.
- Incorporate peanut butter, plain yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract into the mashed bananas, stirring until the mixture achieves a uniform, velvety consistency.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, preparing a flat surface for freezing the yogurt bites.
- Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, carefully dollop uniform portions of the banana-yogurt mixture onto the prepared parchment paper, creating bite-sized rounds.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips and chopped peanuts over each yogurt bite, gently pressing the toppings to ensure they adhere to the surface.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and allow the bites to solidify completely, approximately 2-3 hours or until firm to the touch.
- Once frozen, remove the bites from the parchment paper and transfer to an airtight container for storage.
- For optimal texture and taste, consume the frozen yogurt bites within 1-2 weeks, keeping them stored in the freezer.
Notes
- Ensure bananas are super ripe for maximum natural sweetness and smoother blending.
- Use natural peanut butter without added sugars for a healthier, cleaner ingredient profile.
- Experiment with alternative toppings like coconut flakes, chia seeds, or crushed graham crackers for diverse flavor variations.
- Store bites in a single layer to prevent sticking and maintain their individual shape during freezing.
