how to make Banana Nutella Frozen Yogurt Bark Treats

Ingredients:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (use whole-milk for creamier texture)
2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.75 cup Nutella (slightly warmed for easier drizzling)
1.5 cups ripe bananas, thinly sliced (about 2 medium bananas)
0.25 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
0.13 teaspoon fine sea salt (optional, enhances flavor)

Directions:

Line a baking sheet: Take a baking sheet and cover it with parchment paper. This will prevent the yogurt from sticking.
Mix the yogurt: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
Spread the yogurt: Pour the yogurt mixture onto the lined baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly, about 1/2 inch thick.
Add bananas: Place the thinly sliced bananas on top of the yogurt. Spread them out evenly.
Drizzle with Nutella: Take the warmed Nutella and drizzle it over the bananas and yogurt. You can use a spoon to make pretty designs!
Sprinkle toppings: Add chopped hazelnuts and mini chocolate chips on top. If you like, sprinkle a pinch of fine sea salt over everything.
Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until completely frozen.
Break into pieces: Once frozen, remove the bark from the parchment and break it into pieces. Enjoy!
