Frozen Banana Yogurt Pops¶
New — Never Tried
A simple bite-sized frozen snack made with banana and yogurt, plus whatever toppings sound good. The small size makes these especially handy for toddlers and younger kids.
Toddler-sized
Keep the banana slices about 1/2 inch thick so they stay sturdy on the sticks. The smaller size also makes them easier for little kids to finish than a whole frozen banana pop.
Ingredients¶
- 1 banana
- Yogurt, enough for dipping
Optional Toppings¶
- Freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- Crushed peanuts
- Coconut flakes
- Chocolate drizzle
- Peanut butter, as an alternative to yogurt for dipping
Directions¶
- Slice the banana into pieces about 1/2 inch thick. Don't slice them too thin.
- Insert a lollipop stick into each banana slice without pushing it all the way through.
- Dip each banana slice into yogurt or peanut butter.
- Sprinkle or drizzle with your favorite toppings.
- Place the pops on a parchment-lined tray or plate and freeze overnight.
- Serve frozen.
Brown Family Notes¶
- Added to the cookbook to try as an easy kid snack.
- Make several at once and keep them in the freezer for grab-and-go snacks.
- Two small pops make a convenient toddler-sized portion; adjust based on appetite.
- For younger children, supervise closely when serving anything on a lollipop stick.
- If using peanuts or peanut butter, make sure they are appropriate for the child and avoid large or coarse nut pieces that could be a choking hazard.
