Banana Peanut Butter Yogurt Pops with Chocolate Dip
Recipe Summary
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 0 minutes
- Total Time: 5 hours 10 minutes (including freezing)
- Servings: 8 pops
- Cuisine: Snack / Dessert
- Course: Frozen treat
- Calories: 180 kcal per serving
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- ½ cup (125 g) creamy peanut butter
- ¾ cup (180 g) plain Greek yogurt
- 4 oz (115 g) semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, to make chocolate smoother)
Instructions
- Peel and mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth without lumps.
- Add the peanut butter and Greek yogurt to the mashed bananas; mix well until creamy and evenly combined.
- Spoon the mixture into 8 small silicone molds or paper cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Insert a popsicle stick into each filled mold or cup. Place in the freezer for at least 5 hours, or until solid.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped semisweet chocolate with the optional coconut oil in short 20-second bursts, stirring between intervals for a smooth consistency. Allow the chocolate to cool for about 2 minutes but remain liquid.
- Remove the frozen pops from the molds and quickly dip or drizzle them with the melted chocolate. Lay them on parchment paper and return to the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Keep the pops frozen until ready to serve.
Recipe Notes
- For even healthier pops, use unsweetened Greek yogurt or reduce peanut butter slightly.
- Avoid over-mixing banana and yogurt to keep a nice creamy texture.
- Work quickly when dipping pops in chocolate to prevent melting.
- If you don’t have molds, small paper cups work well and are easy to peel away once frozen.
