Peanutty Banana Bliss Pops are a delicious and healthy frozen treat made with ripe bananas, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter, perfect for warm days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
- 1/4 cup crushed nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds, or peanuts for topping)
- Popsicle molds and sticks
Instructions
- Prep the Bananas: Peel the ripe bananas and cut them into halves or thirds, depending on the size you prefer for your pops.
- Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Coat the Bananas: Dip each banana piece into the peanut butter yogurt mixture, making sure it’s completely covered. Use a spoon to help if necessary.
- Add Toppings (Optional): After coating the bananas, you can sprinkle them with mini chocolate chips or crushed nuts for added texture and flavor.
- Mold the Pops: Place the coated banana pieces into the popsicle molds. Insert wooden sticks into each piece, making sure they are centered.
- Freeze: Carefully transfer the molds to the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.
- Remove from Molds: Once the pops are frozen, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to help release the pops easily. Gently pull on the sticks to remove the pops.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately, or store any leftover pops in an airtight container in the freezer for a cool, healthy snack later!
