🥣 Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Bananas | 4 medium, peeled |
| Peanut butter (or almond butter) | ¼ cup (smooth) |
| Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla) | ½ cup |
| Powdered sugar | 2 tablespoons |
| Mini chocolate chips or candy eyes | 8–10 (for eyes) |
| Lollipop sticks or popsicle sticks | 4–8 |
| Optional: melted white chocolate | ¼ cup (for drizzling) |
| Optional: food coloring | As desired for extra spooky effect |
🍌 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare Bananas
Cut bananas in half crosswise. Insert a lollipop stick into the flat end of each banana half.
2. Prepare Yogurt Coating
In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with powdered sugar until smooth. If you want colored mummies, add a few drops of food coloring.
3. Spread Peanut Butter Layer
Spread a thin layer of peanut butter around the banana halves. This will help the “mummy wrap” stick.
4. Wrap the Mummy
Drizzle or pipe the yogurt coating over the banana in a zig-zag pattern to resemble mummy bandages. Use a spoon or piping bag for precision.
5. Add Eyes
Place 2 mini chocolate chips or candy eyes near the top of the banana, pressing lightly into the coating.
6. Freeze
Place the pops on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 30–45 minutes to set.
7. Serve
Serve straight from the freezer for a refreshing, fun Halloween snack.
