Ingredients
  

2 large ripe bananas

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetening)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or milk chocolate for sweetness)

1 tablespoon coconut oil

A pinch of sea salt (for finishing)

Toppings (optional): crushed nuts, granola, shredded coconut, sprinkles

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into thick rounds, about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

    Mix the Yogurt: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup if you prefer added sweetness. Stir well until fully incorporated.

      Coat the Banana Slices: Using a spoon, carefully dollop or spread a generous amount of the yogurt mixture onto each banana slice. Gently flatten the yogurt on top to create an even layer.

        Freeze the Banana Slices: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1 to 2 hours, or until the yogurt is frozen solid.

          Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

            Dip the Yogurt Melts: Once the yogurt-covered banana slices are fully frozen, remove them from the freezer. Dip each slice into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Gently shake off any excess chocolate.

              Add Finishing Touches: Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle top each coated banana slice with a pinch of sea salt and your choice of optional toppings (crushed nuts, granola, shredded coconut, or sprinkles).

                Freeze Again: Return the dipped banana melts to the parchment-lined baking sheet and place them back in the freezer for 15-30 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set.

                  Serve: Enjoy these delightful frozen treats immediately, or transfer them to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept in the freezer for up to two weeks.
