The key to these treats is layering and freezing. We used a silicone cake pop mold. (bonbon shape for bite-sized treats), but you can use any ice cube tray or mold shape tray you may have.
Tools:
- silicone cake pop mold (bonbon shape)
- blender
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 banana, halved and sliced
Instructions:
- blend 1/2 banana with yogurt until it reaches a smoothie like consistency
- using a spoon, fill the bottom of the molds with the banana/yogurt mixture, leaving enough room to build up 2 more layers
- level yogurt in the mold tray, then place in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes allowing to set before moving on to the next step
- while that first layer is freezing, heat up peanut butter in microwave for about 15 seconds to a liquid-like consistency that’s easy to pour
- spoon a layer of peanut butter over the first layer of chilled yogurt, then return mold back to freezer about another 10 minutes
- once the second layer is set, spoon final layer of banana/yogurt mixture over peanut butter layer
- finish by pressing a slice of banana on top
- return to freezer, for at least 4 hours
These treats can be stored in a resealable freezer bag for up to 2 weeks.
By the way, these frozen bites are actual great as “human treats” too! They really are yummy!
