Ingredients
  

  • 3 large Ripe bananas peeled, sliced into 1-inch pieces, and frozen solid
  • 1.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt full-fat or low-fat, chilled
  • 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter unsweetened, natural
  • 2 tbsp Maple syrup or honey or to taste
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract pure
  • 1 pinch Fine sea salt

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Freezer-safe container
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Ensure your sliced bananas are completely frozen. This is crucial for the texture. If not already frozen, spread sliced bananas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until solid.
  2. In a powerful food processor or high-speed blender, combine the frozen banana slices, plain Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Process the mixture, scraping down the sides as needed, until it is completely smooth and creamy, resembling soft-serve ice cream. This may take 3-5 minutes. Be patient, as it will go from crumbly to thick and creamy. Do not over-blend to avoid warming it up too much.
  4. Taste the frozen yogurt mixture and add more maple syrup/honey if you prefer it sweeter. Blend briefly to incorporate.
  5. For a soft-serve consistency, serve immediately. For a firmer, scoopable frozen yogurt, transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container (such as a loaf pan or shallow dish). Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
  6. Freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop. If it becomes too hard after prolonged freezing, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before scooping.
  7. Scoop the frozen yogurt into bowls and enjoy! Garnish with extra banana slices, a drizzle of peanut butter, or chopped nuts if desired.

Notes

For best results, use very ripe bananas as they are naturally sweeter and contribute to a creamier texture. Full-fat Greek yogurt will yield a richer, creamier frozen yogurt. Store any leftover frozen yogurt in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1-2 weeks. It may become very firm; let it soften at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving.
