Ingredients
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 5 hours to allow the yogurt bark to freeze solid.
- 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.
