Ingredients
  

3 medium ripe bananas

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter for a nut alternative)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (choose between plain or vanilla for added flavor)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, to add sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

1/2 cup granola or chopped nuts (for coating)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for a decadent drizzle)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Start by peeling the bananas and then cutting them in half crosswise. Take a popsicle stick and gently insert it into the cut end of each banana half, creating a handle that is easy to hold.

    Make the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey (if you choose to add it), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well with a spoon or spatula until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.

      Coat the Bananas: Take each banana half and dip it into the peanut butter mixture. Use a spatula or spoon to ensure each piece is evenly coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip back into the bowl.

        Add the Coating: Roll the coated banana halves in granola or chopped nuts. Gently press the granola or nuts onto the bananas to help them stick to the peanut butter layer.

          Freeze the Pops: Arrange the coated banana pops on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Place them in the freezer for a minimum of 2 hours or until they are completely solid.

            Optional Chocolate Drizzle: If you want to add a chocolate drizzle, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Once the banana pops are fully frozen, remove them from the freezer and drizzle the melted chocolate over the top. Return the pops to the freezer for about 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.

              Serve: After the pops are frozen and the chocolate has set, you can enjoy your Frozen Peanut Butter Banana Pops right away. If you’re not eating them immediately, place them in an airtight container in the freezer, where they'll stay fresh for up to a week.
