These creamy frozen banana split bites feature a smooth banana and yogurt filling coated in a crisp homemade chocolate shell, perfect for a quick, refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced into 1-inch rounds
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 ounces dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • Optional: chopped nuts (toasted pecans or almonds)
  • Optional: mini sprinkles or shredded coconut for decoration

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mash the banana slices until smooth but slightly chunky (about 1–2 minutes).
  2. Add Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until creamy and well combined.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  4. Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to drop tablespoon-sized mounds of the banana mixture onto the sheet, spacing them at least 1 inch apart.
  5. Freeze the banana bites for about 1 hour until firm but not rock solid.
  6. Chop the dark chocolate and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Add coconut oil.
  7. Melt chocolate in 20-second bursts in the microwave, stirring between each, until smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler.
  8. Using tongs or a fork, dip each frozen banana bite into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
  9. Place dipped bites back on the parchment-lined sheet. Sprinkle chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles if desired.
  10. Freeze the dipped bites for at least 30 minutes to harden the chocolate shell.
  11. Transfer the bites to an airtight container and keep frozen until ready to serve.
  12. Before serving, let bites sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes for a creamy texture.

Notes

Use coconut oil to thin the chocolate for a crisp shell. Avoid over-mashing bananas to keep creamy texture. Freeze bites well before dipping to ensure chocolate sets properly. Store in a single layer or between parchment sheets to prevent sticking. Let bites sit a few minutes at room temperature before eating for best texture.
