Ingredients

• 1 large ripe banana

• 150 g yogurt of your choice (we used natural yogurt)

• Handful of dried banana chips (optional)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Lay out approximately 12 cupcake cases or silicone muffin cups on a small baking sheet or tray (ensure it fits in your freezer).

2. Peel the banana and place it onto a plate. Mash it up with a fork until most of the lumps are gone. If you have a potato masher, young children might find it easier to use that.

3. Transfer the mashed banana into a bowl and add the yogurt. Whisk together until well combined.

4. Using a spoon, dollop some of the banana-yogurt mixture into each cupcake case, filling them until all the yogurt mixture is used.

5. Top with dried banana chips if desired. You can either place whole chips or break them into pieces for a fun texture.

6. Place the tray with the cups into the freezer and leave to freeze for about 2 hours or until set solid.

7. Once frozen through, remove the bites from the cupcake cases or silicone cups. Serve immediately or bag them up and pop them back in the freezer for later.
