Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan alternative)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or almonds, optional)

Parchment paper

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Start by peeling the bananas and slicing them into rounds that are about 1/2 inch thick. Once sliced, arrange the banana rounds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they do not touch each other.

    Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, blend together the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use a whisk or a spatula to stir the mixture until it's smooth and all the ingredients are well incorporated.

      Assemble the Drops: Take a tablespoon or a small spoon and scoop a generous dollop of the yogurt mixture. Place it delicately on top of each banana slice, making sure to cover the banana completely, creating a delightful yogurt cap.

        Drizzle with Caramel: Using a clean spoon, drizzle a small amount of caramel sauce over each yogurt-topped banana slice. If you opt to use nuts, sprinkle them evenly over the caramel layer to add an extra crunch.

          Freeze: Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Allow the banana drops to freeze for approximately 2-3 hours, or until the yogurt has completely set and the banana drops are firm to the touch.

            Serve: Once frozen, gently remove the banana drops from the baking sheet. Place them into an airtight container for storage. You can enjoy these treats immediately for a refreshing snack, or keep them in the freezer for up to a week.

              Enjoy: Indulge in these Frozen Yogurt Banana Caramel Drops as a delectable and healthy snack or dessert. They're especially perfect for hot days or whenever you're craving something sweet!
