Ingredients

Makes: 12 cups
Serving Size: 1 cup

  • 1 ½ cups non-fat plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, 0% fat)
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup mashed)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter (PB2)
    (or 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter for a creamier texture)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar-free maple syrup (optional, based on taste)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional toppings: sugar-free chocolate chips, crushed nuts, banana slices

Equipment Needed

  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork or whisk
  • Silicone muffin tray or standard muffin pan with paper liners
  • Freezer-safe container (for storage)
  • Spatula or spoon

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Bananas

Start by peeling and mashing the ripe bananas in a bowl using a fork. Ensure the bananas are spotty brown — this is when they’re the sweetest and most flavorful. Mash until smooth and no large chunks remain. You should have roughly 1 cup of mashed banana.

Step 2: Mix the Base

In a large mixing bowl, add the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, peanut butter powder (or peanut butter), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. If you prefer a sweeter dessert, add 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar-free syrup. Mix everything thoroughly until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Taste and Adjust

Taste the mixture. If your bananas are very ripe, the mixture should be sweet enough. If not, you can add a little more honey or syrup, but be mindful of the SmartPoints if you’re tracking closely.

Step 4: Prepare the Muffin Tray

Line a 12-cup muffin tin with silicone liners or paper liners. You can lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray for easy removal. Using a spoon or spatula, distribute the yogurt-banana mixture evenly among the 12 cups.

Step 5: Add Toppings (Optional)

Sprinkle a few sugar-free mini chocolate chips or crushed nuts over each cup. For a fun visual touch and extra banana flavor, you can place a thin banana slice on top of each.

Step 6: Freeze

Place the muffin tray in the freezer and allow the cups to freeze for at least 2–3 hours, or until fully solid. For best texture, freeze overnight.

Step 7: Store

Once frozen, transfer the yogurt cups into an airtight, freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. They will keep well in the freezer for up to 3 weeks.

Step 8: Serve

Before eating, let the cups sit at room temperature for 3–5 minutes to slightly soften for easier eating. Enjoy with a spoon or straight from the liner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use full-fat yogurt?

Yes, but it will slightly increase the SmartPoints. If you’re not strictly tracking, full-fat yogurt may offer a creamier result.

Do I have to use peanut butter powder?

No. You can use natural peanut butter, almond butter, or skip entirely for banana-only cups. Each option will affect points.

How do I prevent freezer burn?

Store in airtight containers and use within 2–3 weeks. Wrapping each in plastic wrap can also help.
