Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or your preferred yogurt variety)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/3 cup walnuts, finely chopped

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Start by peeling the ripe bananas and slicing them into thick rounds, each about 1/2 inch in thickness. Lay the banana slices flat on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. This prevents the slices from sticking together during the freezing process.

    Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), pure vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Using a whisk or spatula, mix the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring everything is well combined.

      Coat the Banana Slices: Take a banana slice and dip it into the yogurt mixture, ensuring each piece is completely covered. After coating, allow any excess yogurt to drip off back into the bowl.

        Add the Walnuts: Immediately after coating, sprinkle finely chopped walnuts over one side of the yogurt-covered banana slice. If you are adding dark chocolate chips, distribute them on top as well, lightly pressing them into the yogurt coating to help them stick.

          Freeze the Banana Bombs: Carefully place the yogurt-coated banana slices, walnut side facing up, back onto the line baking sheet. Once you've coated all the slices, transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Allow the banana bombs to freeze for approximately 2-3 hours, or until the yogurt has become completely firm.

            Serve and Enjoy: After freezing, take the banana walnut bombs out of the freezer and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes before removing them from the baking sheet. You can enjoy these delicious treats right away or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month. Just before serving, add a small pinch of sea salt on top to elevate the flavors!
