Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt (or your choice of yogurt)

¼ cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup dark chocolate chips

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ cup sliced almonds (optional, for added crunch)

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prep the Bananas: Start by peeling the ripe bananas and placing them in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the bananas until they reach a smooth consistency, leaving a few small lumps for added texture.

    Create the Yogurt Mixture: To the mashed bananas, add in the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cocoa powder. Mix everything together thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

      Incorporate Chocolate and Nuts: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and, if desired, the sliced almonds into the yogurt mixture. Stir carefully to ensure even distribution of chocolate and nuts throughout the mix.

        Prepare the Pan: Take a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, allowing some excess to hang over the edges for easy removal later. Ensure the parchment covers the sides for neatness.

          Pour and Smooth: Pour the yogurt mixture into the lined loaf pan. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly across the pan, smoothing out the surface. Finish by sprinkling a pinch of sea salt over the top to enhance the flavors.

            Freeze the Bars: Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap or a fitting lid, and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until the mixture is completely firm and set.

              Slice and Serve: Once fully frozen, remove the loaf pan from the freezer. Use the parchment overhang to lift the frozen block out of the pan. Transfer it to a cutting board, and slice it into bars of your preferred size.

                Store or Enjoy: Serve the bars immediately for a delightful, healthy treat, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer, where they can be kept for up to a month.
