Ingredients

4 ripe bananas, sliced into thin rounds

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose either vanilla or plain for your preference)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (for crunch)

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

1/2 cup crushed nuts (either walnuts or almonds will work well)

1/2 cup caramel sauce (optional, for a delightful drizzle)

A pinch of flaky sea salt (to enhance flavors)

Instructions

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Using a whisk or spatula, stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more honey or syrup.

Layer the Bananas: Take an 8x8-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy lifting later. Evenly distribute the banana slices across the bottom of the dish, ensuring they cover the base completely without any gaps.

Add the Yogurt Mixture: Carefully pour the yogurt mixture over the bananas. Use a spatula to spread it out gently, ensuring all banana slices are well-coated.

Toppings Galore: Generously sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over the yogurt layer to add texture. Then, evenly distribute the mini chocolate chips and the crushed nuts on top. Feel free to mix in additional toppings like shredded coconut or dried fruits for an extra twist!

Final Touches: If desired, drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top. Finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt, which will contrast beautifully with the sweetness of the bars.

Freeze: Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place it in the freezer and allow the bars to set for at least 4 hours or until solid and firm to the touch.

Slice and Serve: After freezing, remove the dish from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easy slicing. Grab the edges of the parchment paper to lift the block out of the dish and place it on a cutting board. Slice into bars of your preferred size.

Enjoy: Serve the Choco-Nana Delight Bars immediately for the best texture. Alternatively, store any leftover bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, making them a perfect sweet treat whenever you're craving something deliciously refreshing!
