Ingredients

Scale

Yogurt Mixture

  • 2 cups plain yogurt
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 2 tbsp honey (optional)

Toppings

  • 1 ripe banana, sliced
  • 2 tbsp natural style peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet or baking dish (9×9, 9×13, or 13×18 inches) with parchment paper, depending on desired bark thickness.
  2. Mix yogurt base: In a medium bowl, mash one ripe banana thoroughly. Add 2 cups of plain yogurt and 2 tablespoons of honey, if using. Stir well until completely combined.
  3. Spread yogurt mixture: Pour the yogurt and banana mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a knife or spatula to spread it into a smooth, even layer.
  4. Add toppings: Swirl the natural peanut butter over the yogurt layer. If the peanut butter is too thick, warm it in the microwave in short 20-second bursts to soften. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips evenly over the top. Arrange the sliced banana on top of the yogurt.
  5. Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 5 hours to allow the yogurt bark to freeze solid.
  6. Serve: Remove from the freezer and break the frozen yogurt bark into chunks using your hands. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing frozen treat.

Notes

  • For a sweeter bark, add honey or maple syrup to taste.
  • Use plain or Greek yogurt based on your preference; Greek yogurt will yield a thicker bark.
  • Swap peanut butter with almond or cashew butter to vary flavors and accommodate allergies.
  • Ensure peanut butter is softened slightly for easier swirling and even distribution.
  • This recipe is perfect for preparing ahead and keeping on hand as a healthy snack.
