Ingredients
- Yogurt: any plain whole milk yogurt or plain plant-based yogurt will work for this recipe.

- Banana: the riper the banana, the more naturally sweeter they will be.

Thank you for this recipe. My daughter loves it!
Are there any other fruits I could use instead of (or in addition) banana?
Hi! I think one of the commenters mentioned adding strawberries to the mix. You can try subbing applesauce for the banana but the consistency will be a bit different. Let us know how it turns out! xo, Michele
Any brand recommendations for a dairy free yogurt option?
We love Trader Joe’s DF yogurt but you can use whatever your family prefers. So Delicious and Cocojune are great brands, too. xo, Michele
My daughter loves these! I add blended freeze-dried strawberries to make it pink.
That is such a great idea! So fun!
What mold did you use? Do you have a link? Thanks!
I saw the mold on hobby lobby’s website, looked like the same one she used. But they were out when I went it. They had other similar molds though, I got a flower one that was similar in size to the stars.
These look so good! I made them in the silicone star molds and am freezing them overnight. Three questions: do I need to cover them, should I pop them out once frozen and store them in a plastic freezer bag, and how long do they last in the freezer? Thank you so much!
All great questions – I would pop them out and put them into a freezer bag once they are frozen mainly to save room. They will last 3-4 months in the freezer.
Could I make these into the tiny baby ice lolly moulds?
I think that’s a great idea. Just make sure your baby can’t choke on the popsicle sticks.
My baby really loves these. Thank you for the great recipe
So glad to hear this!
My 7 month old loves these! 😍
Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long?
This looks so good! What a fun treat to make for baby!
Hi Michele — thank you for all the recipes! Can you substitute a different nut butter for peanut butter?
Absolutely! Almond, cashew or seed butter will all work wonderfully! Great idea.
Tastes great and super simple to make. I didn’t have a mold so I “piped” dots using a ziplock with the corner cut off. I’m worried that I made them too small as I ended up with a lot more than 25. Do they need to be within certain size parameters to be safe for baby? My little one is almost 8 months. Thank you!
Pipping them works great! I would probably recommend a nickel to a quarter in size. You can definitely go bigger but then baby might not have enough time to eat them before they melt.. which might mean a big mess. Bigger would be better for toddlers as they can eat them faster. Because they will literally melt in baby’s mouth within seconds, they can be any size and still safe for baby. Hope that helps!
