Ingredients (Makes 4 Cups)

• 2 ripe bananas
• 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup crushed sugar-free biscuits or granola
• 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips (sugar-free if preferred)
• 1 banana, sliced for topping

Instructions

1. Prepare the Creamy Base

In a blender, add the ripe bananas, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. The bananas naturally sweeten the mixture, so there’s no need for added sugar.

2. Prepare the Oat Layer

Place the rolled oats in a bowl. If you prefer a softer texture, soak them in a few tablespoons of milk for about 5 minutes. You can also lightly crush them for a texture similar to cookie crumbs.

3. Assemble the Cups

Take 4 small serving cups or jars. Add a layer of the creamy banana mixture to the bottom of each cup.

Next, add a spoonful of oats or crushed sugar-free granola in the center layer. This adds texture and makes the cups extra filling.

Pour another layer of the banana cream mixture on top until the cups are nearly full.

4. Add the Toppings

Top each cup with fresh banana slices and sprinkle with dark chocolate chips. You can also add chopped nuts, chia seeds, or extra granola for more crunch.

5. Chill and Serve

Place the cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. They taste even better when chilled because the flavors blend together beautifully.

Tips

• Use very ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness.
• Add chia seeds for extra fiber and protein.
• Swap peanut butter with almond butter if preferred.
• Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
