Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe bananas
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 cup crushed cereal (e.g., granola, cornflakes, or rice puffs)
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 4 pieces popsicle sticks or skewers
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice each one in half crosswise, creating four banana halves in total.
Insert a popsicle stick or skewer into the flat, cut end of each banana half to create a banana 'pop.'
Place the Greek yogurt in a shallow bowl. If desired, mix in the honey to sweeten the yogurt.
In a separate shallow bowl, spread out the crushed cereal.
Dip each banana half into the yogurt, using a spoon to help coat it evenly and completely.
Roll the yogurt-coated banana in the crushed cereal, pressing gently to ensure the cereal sticks.
Press a few mini chocolate chips onto the surface of each banana for decoration or extra sweetness.
Place the completed Boo Boo Bananakins on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to help the yogurt set slightly, or serve immediately if desired.
