Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for added creaminess)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for enhanced sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup granola or crushed nuts (for coating)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prep the Bananas: Start by peeling the bananas and cutting them in half crosswise. Carefully insert a popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana half, pushing it in deep enough to provide stability when frozen. Arrange the banana pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prepare for coating.

    Make the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, Greek yogurt (if you choose to use it), honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or whisk until the mixture reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.

      Coat the Banana Pops: Take a small spatula or butter knife and generously spread the peanut butter mixture over each banana pop. Be sure to coat all sides evenly to maximize the flavor in every bite.

        Add Coating: Roll each coated banana pop in granola or crushed nuts while gently pressing to ensure they stick well to the peanut butter layer. This coating will provide a delightful crunch that complements the creamy banana and peanut butter.

          Freeze: Return the coated banana pops to the parchment-lined baking sheet and place them in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for a minimum of 2 hours, or until they are completely solid and firm.

            Optional Chocolate Drizzle: If desired, prepare a luscious chocolate drizzle by melting the dark chocolate chips. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Once the banana pops are fully frozen, use a fork to drizzle the melted chocolate over them for an indulgent finish.

              Serve: When ready to enjoy, remove the banana pops from the freezer. Allow them to stand at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving. Dive into these deliciously refreshing Frozen Peanut Butter Banana Pops!
