Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 cups plain yogurt
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 2 tbsp honey (optional)
Toppings
- 2 tbsp natural style peanut butter
- 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
- 1 ripe banana, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Surface: Line a baking sheet or dish (9×9, 9×13, or 13×18 inches) with parchment paper to prevent sticking. The size you choose affects the thickness of the bark.
- Mix Yogurt Base: In a medium bowl, mash one ripe banana thoroughly, then add the plain yogurt and honey if using. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- Spread Mixture: Pour the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly with a knife or spatula to create a smooth layer.
- Add Toppings: Swirl the peanut butter over the yogurt layer using a knife or spoon. If the peanut butter is too thick, gently warm it in 20-second intervals in the microwave to soften. Then sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the surface and arrange the banana slices on top.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 5 hours to allow the bark to harden completely.
- Serve: Remove from the freezer and break into chunks by hand. Enjoy immediately as a frozen, refreshing snack.
Notes
- For a thicker bark, use a smaller baking dish; for thinner, use a larger one.
- Use plain yogurt for the best flavor balance, but Greek yogurt can be used for added creaminess and protein.
- Honey is optional; you can omit it or substitute with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan alternative.
- Store leftover bark in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
- If peanut allergies are a concern, substitute peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter.
