Ingredients
  

2 large ripe bananas

1 cup plain or Greek yogurt (choose your favorite flavor, like vanilla or honey)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional for extra sweetness)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (choose from walnuts, almonds, or pecans based on your preference)

1/4 cup chocolate chips or cocoa nibs (optional)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Start by peeling the bananas and cutting them into thick rounds, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Mix the Yogurt: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the yogurt with honey (or maple syrup for added sweetness), vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.

      Dip the Bananas: Use a fork or a toothpick to dip each banana slice into the yogurt mixture. Make sure that each slice is evenly coated with yogurt for the best flavor.

        Top with Nuts: After coating each banana slice in yogurt, immediately sprinkle a handful of chopped nuts on top. If you like, add a few chocolate chips or cocoa nibs for an extra treat, ensuring they stick to the yogurt before it sets.

          Freeze the Slices: Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and allow the banana slices to freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the yogurt has firmed up completely.

            Serve the Treats: Once frozen, remove the banana nut slices from the freezer. Let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for convenient eating. Enjoy these delightful frozen treats straight from the freezer!
