These Healthy Halloween Yogurt Banana Ghost Pops are a fun and nutritious treat perfect for spooky season. Made with frozen banana quarters dipped in creamy vanilla yogurt and decorated with your choice of eyes and mouth toppings, these pops are both kid-friendly and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale

Pops

  • 2 bananas (cut into 6–8 quarters)
  • 6 oz plain vanilla yogurt or 5.3 oz Greek yogurt + 2 tbsp milk

Toppings of Choice

  • Raisins (for eyes & mouth)
  • Cheerios (for mouth)
  • Chocolate Chips (for eyes)
  • Candy Eyes

Instructions

  1. Freeze Bananas: Keep the peel on and cut your bananas in half across the middle. Then cut each half lengthwise into quarters. Insert a popsicle stick into each banana piece. Repeat with the other banana half.
  2. Prepare for Freezing: Peel your banana quarters and place each piece on parchment paper arranged on a small pan or dish that fits into your freezer. Repeat for all banana pieces.
  3. Freeze: Place the pan or dish with banana quarters into the freezer and freeze for 2-3 hours until solid.
  4. Prepare Yogurt Dip: Pour your choice of vanilla yogurt into a tall glass to facilitate easy dipping. If using Greek yogurt, mix with 2 tablespoons of milk to thin it slightly.
  5. Dip Pops: Dip one frozen banana pop completely into the yogurt coating and shake off any excess yogurt gently.
  6. Add Decorations: Quickly sprinkle the chosen toppings onto the yogurt-coated banana to create eyes and mouth details before the yogurt hardens.
  7. Repeat: Repeat the dipping and decorating process with the remaining frozen banana pops.
  8. Freeze Again: Place the decorated pops back into the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour to let the yogurt harden fully.
  9. Serve or Store: Serve the pops the same day, or wrap each pop individually in plastic wrap and store them in a sealed container or bag in the freezer for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Vanilla yogurt can be substituted with plain yogurt sweetened with honey if desired.
  • For ghost shape, the banana pieces are cut lengthwise, but you can simply use halves or quarters if desired for simplicity.
  • Eye options include raisins, candy eyes, or chocolate chips; mouth options include raisins, chocolate chips, or Cheerios.
  • Make sure to work quickly when decorating to prevent the yogurt from hardening before adding toppings.
  • Storing pops individually wrapped prevents them from sticking together in the freezer.
