Ingredients
  

1 ripe banana, thoroughly mashed

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond butter or peanut butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)

1 cup Greek yogurt (can be plain or flavored)

1/4 cup granola (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoroughly and set this dry mixture aside for later use.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the mashed banana, almond or peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually incorporate the dry oat mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until everything is well combined. If you choose to include them, gently fold in the dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts at this stage.

          Form Cookie Bites: Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Be sure to space them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

            Bake the Bites: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn a light golden brown. Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.

              Prepare Yogurt Coating: After the cookie bites have cooled, take each one and dip it into the Greek yogurt, ensuring a thorough and even coat.

                Freeze: Transfer the yogurt-coated cookie bites back to the baking sheet. Sprinkle granola on top for extra crunch and gently press it into the yogurt coating. Place in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 1-2 hours, until they are firm.

                  Serve: Enjoy your delightful Frozen Yogurt Banana Bread Cookie Bites directly from the freezer! They make for an excellent healthy dessert or snack option.
