Equipment
- 1 Large Bowl, Food Processor or Blender
- 1 Silicone Popsicle Mold
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Full-Fat Greek Yogurt (SEE NOTES)
- 1 Cup Whole Milk (substitute almond milk or coconut milk)
- 2 TBS Honey (SEE NOTES)
- ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1 Cup Granola OR Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal
- 2 small Bananas – thinly sliced
Instructions
- Make creamy popsicle base: To a large bowl, blender or food processor, add the yogurt, milk, honey, and cinnamon. Mix or blend until combined. Add the cereal to the bowl and stir until just combined.
- Layer popsicles in molds: Fill each mold 1/3 of the way up with the cereal milk mixture. Then, drop a few slices of bananas into the molds. Repeat, layering the cereal milk and bananas into the molds until they are full. Gently tap the molds on the counter to help the popsicle mixture settle.
- Freeze: Transfer the popsicle molds in the freezer. Freeze for 1 hour. Add sticks, then freeze again: Remove the popsicles from the freezer. Insert a wooden stick into the center of each popsicle. Place back in the freezer and freeze overnight.
- Remove from mold and enjoy! Carefully remove the banana popsicles from their mold by pulling on the wooden stick. If you have a hard time releasing the popsicles from their mold, lightly run the mold under warm water for 10 seconds or so. Enjoy!
Notes
- Yogurt: You can use any flavor of Greek yogurt you love in these popsicles - just make sure you are using full-fat. Plain, vanilla and honey are my personal favorites if you're looking for inspiration.
- Honey: I recommend using the honey to taste. However, be careful adding TOO much honey or your popsicles will be sticky!
- Cereal: I recommend using a very crunchy cereal with clusters or your favorite granola in these pops. Honey bunches of oats is typically what I use. Avoid delicate cereals or they will turn to mush in your Greek yogurt popsicles.
