# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 2 medium ripe bananas

→ Yogurt

02 - 3/4 cup (180 g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla

→ Sweetener & Flavorings

03 - In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and well blended.
04 - Dip each banana slice 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 the coated banana slices with your choice of chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or mini chocolate chips while the yogurt is still soft.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They taste like mini ice cream bites but come together with zero cooking and real fruit.
  • You can customize the toppings based on whatever random snacks are sitting in your pantry.
02 -
  • Let the bites sit at room temperature for two or three minutes before eating because straight from the freezer they are tooth achingly hard.
  • If your bananas are overly ripe and mushy the slices will fall apart during dipping so aim for speckled but still firm.
03 -
  • Chill your baking sheet in the freezer for ten minutes before arranging the coated slices so the yogurt sets faster and holds its shape.
  • A silicone pastry brush is the secret weapon for getting a thin even layer of yogurt on each slice without making a mess.
