Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

¼ cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

⅓ cup melted coconut oil

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined and crumbly. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined 8x8 inch baking dish to form an even crust. Set aside.

    Make the filling: In a blender or food processor, add the ripe bananas, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and milk. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

      Combine the layers: Pour the banana filling over the prepared crust in the baking dish. Using a spatula, smooth the top to ensure it’s even.

        Add the chocolate layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the banana filling and use a toothpick to create swirls for decoration.

          Freeze the bars: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the freezer for 4 to 6 hours, or until fully set.

            Cut and serve: Once frozen, remove the pie bars from the dish by lifting the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to cut the dessert into bars or squares. To make cutting easier, you can let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing.

              Enjoy: Serve the bars immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. They can be enjoyed straight from the freezer for a refreshing treat!
