Ingredients
- Plain yogurt: I prefer to use plain full-fat yogurt in this recipe, but you can also use Greek or a vanilla-flavored yogurt if you prefer. Yogurt is a great source of protein, calcium and vitamin B.
- Peanut Butter: Peanut butter is high in protein, healthy fats and is full of essential minerals. I recommend using natural peanut butter that doesn’t contain any added sugar.
- Banana: Bananas are packed full of antioxidants and are a great source of vitamins B6, C and dietary fiber. The riper the banana the more naturally sweet they will be and also contain more antioxidants.
- Mini Chocolate Chips: No treat is complete without a little chocolate! Dark and semi-sweet chocolate contains antioxidants.
Allergy Substitutions
- Gluten-Free: naturally gluten-free
- Nut-Free: you can use any seed butter instead of peanut butter if you prefer.
- Dairy-Free: you can easily use any brand of dairy-free yogurt and chocolate chips in this recipe.
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mash one banana. Add in the yogurt and honey (if using) and stir until combined.
- Pour the yogurt mixture onto the baking sheet and spread with a knife or spatula until you have a smooth layer.
- Swirl on the peanut butter and sprinkle on the mini chocolate chips. Slice the remaining banana and place it on top of the yogurt.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 5 hours. Take the baking sheet out of the fridge and break the yogurt bark into chunks with your hands.
- Serve and enjoy.
COOKING WITH KIDS
You can easily have your toddlers and kids help make this peanut butter chocolate yogurt bark.
TODDLERS
- Toddlers can help measure mix the banana, yogurt and honey.
- They can help pour the yogurt mixture onto the baking sheet and spread out with a spoon or spatula.
- Their favorite part might be to help add the chocolate, banana and peanut butter on top.
- With help, they can place the yogurt bark into the freezer.
KIDS
- You can pretty much let older kids make this recipe by themselves.
- They can pick out, measure and mix all of the ingredients.
- Kids can pour the yogurt bark onto a baking sheet, spread out with a knife or spatula, add the toppings and place the finished yogurt bark into the freezer.
Tips for Making the Best Yogurt Bark
- Size of Baking Dish: you can use 9 x 9″, 9 x 13″ or any baking sheet you have on hand. The thickness of the bark will be determined by the size pan you use.
- Toppings: …don’t skimp!
- Freezing Time: Let the bark freeze for at least 4 to 5 hours, but it’s best to freeze overnight if you can.
- Storage: Store the yogurt bark in an airtight container and keep it in the freezer for up to 1 month. Be sure to store it in the freezer, or it can turn back into a liquid.
- If your peanut butter is too thick you can place it in a small bowl and heat in the microwave in 20-second increments.

Notes
Age: 1 year and up
Yeild: roughly 16 pieces of bark
Storage: store in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Yogurt Notes: you can use Greek or regular plain yogurt for these recipes. Since Greek yogurt tends to be more tart, I would recommend you adding a little more honey to sweeten it. You can also use vanilla or honey flavored yogurt, which has more added sugar in it, so I would omit the honey from the recipe.

2 1/2 yr old grandson helped me make this as well as eat it! WIN WIN! This will definitely be a go-to. He kept on saying “more”
So happy to hear your grandson helped make this recipe and loved eating it! Yay!
I will try this out tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.
I do not have toddlers but have school aged kids. They are loving this as an after school snack. Thankyou. Much better than a pack of chips or something they would normally have.
So glad your kids are loving this bark recipe! My girls love this after-school or summer camp as well! Such a refreshing snack on a hot day!
I want to make this but just ran out of parchment paper! Would press & seal or Saran Wrap work the same? Thanks!
My baby girl (1yr 4m) despises banana, what would be a good substitution? Thank you 🙂
For this recipe, you could omit the banana or add in another fruit they prefer such as strawberries, cherries, peaches, etc.
