Frozen Chocolate Banana Yogurt Clusters, like a mini ice cream bar, but much simpler and so much healthier. These treats are so easy to make with only a handful of ingredients and zero baking, nothing not to love! Frozen banana slices mixed with plain Greek yogurt, covered in chocolate, and finished with a dusting of flaky sea salt. And let your taste buds run wild with fun mix-ins. Peanut butter, pretzels, and cinnamon are just some ideas. These yogurt clusters are so delicious!
Aren’t these clusters cute and fun?! I’m sure you’re familiar with frozen yogurt, but these banana clusters are even better with sweet additions of bananas and a chocolate coating! With summer approaching and the weather steadily getting warmer, I’m feeling more and more excited about frozen treats.
Originally, I wasn’t going to share this recipe with you all. It felt like too simple of an idea and maybe not all that exciting. But then I made the clusters with some ripe bananas that needed to get used up and some Greek yogurt I had on hand. And we’ve been hooked on them ever since.
These are such a yummy snack to keep stashed away in the freezer, and they completely fulfill any “sweet-tooth” cravings! My mom, who has really been limiting her sugar intake, is especially in love with these. The combination of sweet creamy banana, dark chocolate, and vanilla is a healthier way to satisfy those chocolate cravings!
Sometime last summer I experimented with frozen fruit, specifically frozen bananas. I created and shared a very simple recipe for chocolate-covered bananas that we all love.
These clusters just build on that recipe even more. The addition of yogurt and honey makes them more of a creamy frozen treat.
Details
As you would guess, these come together easily. You’ll need ripe, but firm bananas, plain Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if you want something a little sweeter), chocolate, and coconut oil.
If you wanted to add peanut butter to some, you’ll need that too! Or any nut butter for that matter. But the nut butter is completely optional.
Now grab a cupcake mold and line it with paper liners.
Take your bananas, slice them up, and mix them with yogurt and vanilla. If you’ve decided you want a cluster that’s sweet, add honey or maple syrup to taste. I don’t usually add any sweetener, but many do prefer the added sweetness.
Do what suits you!
Next, spoon the bananas into the paper liners and freeze. Nothing needs to be perfect. These are clusters, so no pressure to make each cluster look the same! Just have fun with these.
Once the clusters are frozen, dip each into the melted chocolate, then sprinkle with sea salt if desired. And that’s it! You can eat them right after covering them in chocolate, or keep them stashed away in the freezer for easy snacking!
My best tip is to try not to make the clusters too big, just 2-3 banana slices per cluster is ideal. I know it’s tempting, but if you pile these too high, things just get messy and hard to eat.
Other than that, no notes to add. These really are that simple. They’re a healthy way to enjoy dessert any time of day. Which makes us love this recipe even more!

How long do you think you can leave these in the freezer?
Hi Reagan,
I would say as long as they are in an airtight container, about 3 months. Please let me know if you have any other questions! xT
So easy & absolute delicious!! My chocolate seized up so I didn’t get to dip them all but so good!
Hi Gina,
Thanks so much for making this recipe and sharing your feedback! So glad they were enjoyed! Next time, try Chocolove bars for the chocolate, they are my fave! xT
Should I use a mini muffin pan or regular muffin pan. Thx
Hi Mary,
I like to use a mini muffin pan, but either will work:) Please let me know if you have any other questions, I hope you love this recipe! xT
What a wonderful recipe. I plan to keep several batches in the freezer Memorial Day weekend for all our visiting grandkids. Thank you!
Thanks so much Marilyn!! Love to hear this!! Happy Sunday! xT
If you wanted to add a nut butter would you add it to the yogurt first to blend it well and then toss it with the bananas?
Oops..just retead the recipe so never mind 🤣
Hi Abby,
I added peanut butter in step 2:) Please let me know if you have any other questions! xx
Do you think it would work to use regular yogurt instead of Greek?
Hi Lauren,
Sure, that should be just fine for you to use! Please let me know if you have any other questions, I hope you love this recipe! xT
Can you use chocolate chips? If so what is the ratio to oil?
Do you use Baker’s dark and/or semi sweet chocolate bars and break them up?
Hi Margaret,
Sure, chocolate chips will work, I never use bakers chocolate:) I like to ue dark chocolate, but use what you like! Please let me know if you have any other questions! xT
I also am cutting way back on sugar so I am loving all these lower sugar options you are putting out there! These will be going in my arsenal!
Thanks so much Tracy!! So glad to hear these were enjoyed, I appreciate you making them! xT
OMG these are delicious! I love cooking your recipes but I’m not much of a baker. When I stumbled across this easy lo-cal recipe I had to try it. I’m a glutton for peanut butter so of course I had to add that 😉
This was a huge success! The perfect cure for the sweet tooth! Thank you so much!
Hi Mandi,
Fantastic!! I am so glad to hear that this recipe was enjoyed and I appreciate you making it! Have a great weekend! xx
This is very good; lately, when viewing some of the recipes here; I ask myself what tea would this go well with…and always it is oolong tea or green tea or some herbal tea that I think of. Oh well, thank you for sharing.
I hope you love this recipe!
Yum! What size muffin tin? Recipe says it makes 22 clusters – so a mini-muffin tin?
Hi John,
I used a mini muffin tin, but you can use whatever size you have, just don’t make the clusters too big:) Please let me know if I can help in any other way! xT
These sound great, but we’re a peanut-free household. Would sunflower butter work as a substitute?
Hi Lynn,
The peanut butter is optional, but yes sunflower butter or another nut butter would also be great to use! Please let me know if I can help in any other way! xT
Hi! Can you use bananas that have already been frozen for this recipe?
Hi Sarah,
Sure, those would be just fine for you to use! Let me know if you give this recipe a try, I hope you love it! xT
We make these several times a week but with blueberries and chopped strawberries and peanut butter mixed into the yogurt. We also use no sugar added chocolate chips and they are amazing and guilt free! I’ll definitely have to try them with bananas too. Or all three and they can be like a banana split! Thanks for the ideas!
Yum sounds like some great ideas for these!! Thanks so much for sharing Susan! Happy Friday! xT
Hi Tiegan!
Is there a sub for coconut oil when mixing with the chocolate? I’m not a huge coconut flavour gal and I find when I mix it with chocolate its ALL i can taste 🙁 (but somehow never taste it when its baked!) Thanks cant wait to try these for me and my babes!
I also would like to use something other than coconut oil. Please respond. Thank you.
Hi Carol,
Butter or another neutral oil will work well:)
Hi Brianna,
You could use butter or another neutral oil in place of the coconut oil. Please let me know if you have any other questions, I hope you love this recipe! xT
These also taste great using blueberries instead of bananas!
Yes, almost any fruit you enjoy would work here! Thanks MaryBeth!
