Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large bananas
  • 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 24 mini chocolate chips
  • 8 popsicle sticks

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bananas: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat. Peel the bananas and cut each banana in half. Then slice each half crosswise in half, creating 8 pieces total.
  2. Insert sticks: Carefully insert a popsicle stick into the bottom of each banana piece, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Freeze bananas: Place the baking sheet with bananas in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour until completely frozen.
  4. Dip in yogurt: Pour the vanilla yogurt into a tall glass. Dip each frozen banana piece into the yogurt to fully coat it, then return it to the baking sheet.
  5. Decorate: Place 3 mini chocolate chips on each yogurt-coated banana to form the eyes and mouth of the ghost.
  6. Final freeze: Return the baking sheet to the freezer for an additional 20 minutes to set the yogurt coating.
  7. Serve or store: Enjoy immediately or store the Boonanas in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Notes

  • Use Silpat or parchment paper to prevent sticking during freezing.
  • Vanilla yogurt works best for a smooth coating and sweet flavor; Greek yogurt can be used for added protein.
  • Mini chocolate chips make perfect eyes and mouth details; you can also use raisins or edible markers.
  • Ensure bananas are fully frozen before dipping to get an even yogurt coating.
  • Serve as a fun and healthy snack for children during Halloween or any time of year.
