Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Popsicle molds or paper cups

Popsicle sticks

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Begin by peeling the bananas. Slice them into rounds that are approximately 1-inch thick, ensuring even sizes for uniform freezing.

    Blend the Mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the sliced bananas with the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Blend all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency, ensuring there are no banana chunks remaining.

      Incorporate Extras: Once the mixture is smooth, transfer it to a bowl and fold in the finely chopped pecans and mini chocolate chips, if you're using them. For an extra touch of warmth, sprinkle in the cinnamon and mix until evenly distributed.

        Fill the Molds: Carefully pour the banana-yogurt mixture into your popsicle molds or paper cups. Fill them about 3/4 of the way full to allow room for the pops to expand as they freeze.

          Insert Sticks: Depending on your method, either insert the popsicle sticks into the molds following the instructions provided, or place them straight into the center of each filled paper cup, making sure they are upright.

            Freeze: Place the filled molds or cups in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until they are completely solidified.

              Unmold the Pops: To remove the pops from their molds, briefly run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds; this will help loosen them. If using paper cups, gently peel the cup away from the frozen pop.

                Serve & Enjoy: Treat yourself to these delightful Frozen Yogurt Banana Pecan Pops as a deliciously refreshing snack on a hot day!
