Ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas sliced

• 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup crushed peanuts or granola (optional)
• Melted chocolate for drizzling (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare a tray: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep the clusters from sticking.
2. Mix the filling: In a bowl, combine sliced bananas, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla. Gently fold until the banana pieces are well-coated but not mashed.
3. Form the clusters: Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the baking sheet, shaping them into small clusters.
4. Add crunch (optional): Sprinkle crushed peanuts or granola on top for added texture.
5. Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer for 1–2 hours, or until the clusters are solid.
6. Add chocolate (optional): Once frozen, drizzle melted chocolate over the top. Return to the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
7. Serve and enjoy: Keep the clusters stored in the freezer and let them soften for a minute or two before eating for the creamiest texture.

Tips & Variations

• Use flavored yogurt like strawberry, coconut, or honey for extra sweetness.
• Nut-free option: Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter.
• Add protein: Mix in a scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder.
• Chocolate lovers: Dip the entire cluster in melted chocolate instead of drizzling.
• Fruit swaps: Try chopped strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries for new flavor combinations.

Storage & Freezer Instructions

• Store the clusters in an airtight container after they fully freeze.
• Keep a sheet of parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
• Freeze the clusters for up to 2 months without losing texture.
• Let each cluster sit at room temperature for 1–2 minutes before eating.
• Avoid storing them in the fridge since they soften too quickly.
• Keep the container sealed tightly to prevent freezer burn.

Serving & Pairing Ideas

• Enjoy as a midday snack or post-workout treat.
• Serve alongside a warm cup of tea or iced coffee.
• Add as a topping to smoothies or yogurt bowls for a fun crunch.
• Pair with fresh fruit like strawberries or blueberries for a balanced snack plate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Absolutely. Regular yogurt works, but Greek yogurt makes the clusters thicker, creamier, and higher in protein. If using regular yogurt, you may need to freeze them slightly longer to help them firm up.

How ripe should the bananas be?

Use bananas that are yellow with a few small brown spots. Over-ripe bananas will be too soft and may turn mushy inside the cluster, while under-ripe bananas won’t offer enough natural sweetness.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes! Use coconut yogurt or almond-based yogurt and pair it with a dairy-free chocolate drizzle. The flavor will still be deliciously creamy and refreshing.

Why are my clusters sticking to the tray?

They likely need a bit more time to freeze, or the tray wasn’t lined well. Always use parchment paper or a silicone mat, and give the clusters at least an hour to fully harden before removing.
