Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas, sliced into rounds

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose between vanilla or plain)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (to taste)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup crushed graham crackers

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds, or a mix of both)

1/2 cup caramel sauce (optional, for an indulgent drizzle)

A pinch of sea salt for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture until it's completely smooth and well blended. Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary.

    Layer the Bananas: Take an 8x8-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later. Evenly distribute the banana slices across the bottom of the dish, ensuring they cover the entire surface.

      Add the Yogurt Mixture: Carefully pour the prepared yogurt mixture over the banana layer, using a spatula to spread it out evenly, making sure all the banana slices are covered.

        Toppings Galore: Generously sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over the yogurt layer. Next, add the mini chocolate chips and the chopped nuts of your choice. Feel free to get creative—add extra toppings like shredded coconut or more chocolate if you desire!

          Final Touches: If you’re using caramel sauce, drizzle it artfully over the top of the layered creation. Finish with a light scattering of sea salt to enhance the flavor and contrast the sweetness.

            Freeze: Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent any freezer odors from affecting your bars. Place the dish in the freezer, allowing the mixture to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the bars are firm to the touch.

              Slice and Serve: Once the bars have fully frozen, remove them from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes. This will make slicing easier. Using the parchment paper, lift the entire block out of the dish and place it on a cutting board. Cut the block into equal-sized bars.

                Enjoy: Serve the bars immediately for a refreshing treat! Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, perfect for grabbing on hot days when you need a cool snack!
