Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or substitute with dairy-free yogurt)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust according to sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (dark chocolate is highly recommended for richness)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional for flavor enhancement)

1 tablespoon chopped walnuts or pecans (optional for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Begin by peeling the ripe bananas and slicing them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Arrange these banana slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart in a single layer for even freezing.

    Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. If you're using sea salt, add it here as well. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended and creamy.

      Assemble the Bites: Using a small spoon, dollop a generous amount of the yogurt mixture onto each banana slice. Afterward, sprinkle mini chocolate chips evenly over the yogurt. If you’re incorporating nuts, add the chopped walnuts or pecans on top for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

        Freeze the Bites: Carefully place the baking sheet with the assembled banana bites into the freezer. Allow them to freeze for a minimum of 2 hours, or until they are completely firm.

          Serve: Once frozen, take the banana bites off the baking sheet and transfer them to a zip-top bag or an airtight container for storage. You can enjoy these delightful treats straight from the freezer, or let them sit for a couple of minutes at room temperature for a softer bite.

            Storage: Keep the frozen yogurt banana bites in the freezer, where they can be stored for up to 2 weeks without losing flavor or texture.

              Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes | Servings: Approximately 20 bites

                - Presentation Tips: For an appealing presentation, consider stacking the bites on a decorative plate and drizzling some extra yogurt or melted chocolate on top before serving. Adding a sprinkle of extra sea salt can create a beautiful contrast and enhance flavor. Enjoy!
