To kick off your Banana Bliss Bites, start by prepping the bananas. The key to achieving the perfect bite is uniform slicing. Aim for slices that are about half an inch thick; this thickness ensures they freeze evenly and maintain their shape during the coating and chocolate drizzle stages. If the slices are too thin, they may become mushy, while overly thick slices might not freeze properly. Use a sharp knife to achieve clean cuts, and remember to choose ripe bananas — they should be firm yet slightly golden, as this is where the sweetness lies without being overly soft.

Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose between plain or flavored, based on your preference)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust according to sweetness preference)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup granola or crushed nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil

A pinch of sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Bananas: Begin by peeling the bananas and cutting them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place the banana slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.

    Make Yogurt Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well blended. If you've chosen flavored yogurt, adjust the amount of sweetener to taste.

      Coat the Banana Slices: Using a spoon or spatula, generously spread the yogurt mixture over each banana slice, making sure they are completely covered to ensure a creamy and delicious finish.

        Add Crunch: Sprinkle granola or your choice of crushed nuts over the yogurt-coated banana slices. Gently press down to help the toppings adhere to the yogurt.

          Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the banana bites for at least 2 hours, or until they are completely solid.

            Prepare the Chocolate Drizzle: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt the mixture in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well between each interval until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.

              Drizzle the Chocolate: Once the banana bites are frozen, remove them from the freezer. Using a fork or a piping bag, drizzle the melted chocolate over the banana bites in a decorative fashion according to your preference.

                Final Touch: If desired, lightly sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate drizzle to add a delightful contrast of flavor.

                  Serve and Store: Enjoy your Banana Bliss Bites right away, or transfer them to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 1 month. They can be savored frozen for a refreshing snack at any time!
