Ingredients
  

3 large ripe bananas

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or your favorite yogurt)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans, or almonds) - optional

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips - optional

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into thin coins. You can also mash them if you prefer a different texture.

    Mix the Yogurt: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.

      Add Cinnamon: Stir in the ground cinnamon to the yogurt mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

        Layer the Ingredients: In a rectangular or square baking dish (or a silicone mold for easy removal), spoon a layer of the yogurt mixture to cover the bottom.

          Create the Swirl: Add a layer of sliced bananas over the yogurt. Drizzle a bit more yogurt over the bananas, then sprinkle with additional ground cinnamon and nut toppings if desired. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the layers together to create a marbled effect.

            Repeat Layers: Continue layering the yogurt, sliced bananas, and cinnamon until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of yogurt on top.

              Add Toppings: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips and chopped nuts on top of the final yogurt layer if using.

                Freeze: Place the dish in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely firm.

                  Slice and Serve: Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. Use a sharp knife to cut into slices. Serve immediately or store back in the freezer in an airtight container.
