Ingredients
– 2 ripe bananas
– 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
– 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1/4 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk, depending on your preference)
– 1/2 cup rolled oats
– 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)
– A pinch of salt
– Optional toppings: crushed nuts, dried fruits, or a sprinkle of chia seeds
Equipment Needed
– Baking sheet
– Parchment paper
– Mixing bowls
– Whisk or spoon for mixing
– Freezer-safe container for storage
Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, which will make it easy to remove the bark once it’s frozen. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. I find that using slightly overripe bananas not only adds natural sweetness but also gives the bark a rich banana flavor. Then, add the Greek yogurt and peanut butter to the mashed bananas. Whisk everything together until it’s beautifully blended and creamy. If you like your bark a little sweeter, this is the moment to add honey or maple syrup!
