Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (or you can use pecans)

Pinch of salt

Optional: 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips for extra sweetness

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth, leaving a few small chunks for texture.

    Combine Ingredients: In the same bowl, add the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined and creamy.

      Add Walnuts: Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and mini chocolate chips if using, until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

        Line the Pan: Prepare an 8x8 inch baking dish or a similar-sized container by lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

          Pour and Spread: Pour the yogurt mixture into the lined dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth out the top.

            Freeze: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid. Place it in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours or until completely frozen.

              Slice and Serve: Once frozen solid, remove the mixture from the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into bars of your desired size. For a cleaner cut, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing.

                Store Extra: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. Enjoy chilled!
