Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or your favorite flavored yogurt)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to your preferred sweetness)

1/2 cup granola (for coating)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted, optional, for a creamier texture)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Start by peeling the bananas. Slice them into 1-inch thick rounds. Next, arrange the banana slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.

    Mix the Yogurt: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, ground cinnamon, honey or maple syrup (if using), melted coconut oil (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended and smooth in consistency.

      Coat the Banana Slices: Take each banana slice and dip it into the yogurt mixture, making sure to fully coat the slice. Allow any excess yogurt to drip off. This step ensures a perfect balance of flavor without overwhelming the banana.

        Roll in Granola: Once coated, roll each banana slice in the granola. Gently press the granola onto the yogurt to ensure it adheres well, giving each bite a satisfying crunch.

          Freeze the Bites: Place all the coated banana slices back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they are not touching to prevent them from sticking together while they freeze.

            Freeze Until Firm: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and allow the banana bites to freeze for a minimum of 2-3 hours, or until they are completely firm. If you plan to store them longer, transfer the frozen bites to an airtight container or a freezer bag for optimal freshness.

              Enjoy: Once fully frozen, your Frozen Yogurt Banana Cinnamon Bites are ready to delight your taste buds! Serve them straight from the freezer as a refreshing snack or a delightful dessert.
