Ingredients
  

For the Banana Bread Base:

2 ripe bananas, well mashed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 large egg, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

For the Frozen Yogurt Layer:

2 cups vanilla yogurt (Greek yogurt is highly recommended)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional for added sweetness)

For the Crunch Topping:

1/2 cup granola

1/4 cup chopped nuts (choose walnuts or pecans for flavor)

1 tablespoon melted coconut oil

1 tablespoon sweetener (options include honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it lightly with oil.

    Prepare the Banana Bread Batter: In a mixing bowl, add the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

      Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.

        Bake the Banana Bread Base: Distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cups to cool for about 5 minutes in the pan before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

          Create the Frozen Yogurt Mixture: In a clean bowl, combine the vanilla yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup. Stir until all ingredients are blended. If you wish, fold in the mini chocolate chips for an extra burst of flavor.

            Assemble the Cups: Once the banana bread bases have completely cooled, spoon a generous layer of the yogurt mixture over each cup. Use a spatula to smooth out the tops.

              Make the Crunch Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the granola, chopped nuts, melted coconut oil, and chosen sweetener. Stir until all the components are evenly coated. Evenly sprinkle the crunchy topping over the yogurt layer in each cup.

                Freeze: Transfer the assembled cups to the freezer and allow them to set for at least 2 hours.

                  Serve and Enjoy: To serve, take the cups out of the freezer 5–10 minutes before enjoying to let them soften slightly. Delight in these delicious and innovative treats!
