Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or your choice of yogurt)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)

1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Parchment paper

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Start by peeling the ripe bananas and placing them in a large mixing bowl. Using a fork, mash the bananas until they reach a smooth consistency with a few small chunky pieces for added texture.

    Mix the Yogurt: In a separate medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are nicely blended together.

      Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the mashed bananas into the yogurt mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. If desired, add the chopped nuts and chocolate chips at this point, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

        Line the Pan: Take a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over the sides. This will make removal of the frozen yogurt slices much easier later on.

          Layer the Mixture: Pour half of the banana-yogurt mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula to create a flat layer.

            Create the Swirl: Drop spoonfuls of the remaining banana-yogurt mixture on top of the first layer in spaced dollops. Take a knife or skewer and gently swirl through the two layers to create a beautiful marbled effect.

              Freeze: Cover the loaf pan securely with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place it in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the mixture is completely solid throughout.

                Slice and Serve: Once frozen to perfection, carefully lift the frozen yogurt banana slice out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, cut the loaf into thick, even slices.

                  Enjoy: Serve the slices immediately for a refreshing treat, or store any leftovers in an airtight container and keep them back in the freezer for later enjoyment.
