Dipping Bananas

by Tamara on March 30, 2008

I am sure we have all heard about chocolate covered bananas and most probably enjoy them. One thing I am sure we can agree on is they are not the most healthy snack.   After some trial and error one thing that I came across is a healthier alternative. One that my children just love.

We call them Dipped Bananas.  A fun easy treat that your toddler can do by herself.  The ingrediense are things that a lot of homes have already.

  • Bananas
  • Yogurt (We use Strawberry)
  • Popsicle sticks
  • Butter Knife
  • Wax Paper

The rest are optional yummys, These are suggestions that we have used you can use other toppings that your child may prefer

  • Sprinkles
  • Granola
  • Chocolate Chips
  • Raisins
  • Crushed Graham Crackers

Start by having your toddler slice the banana in half at the center, Put the popsicle stick in the flat end of the banana making it like a lolly pop. Dip the banana in the yogurt, sometimes spoon covering the top is necessary if the banana is too long.  After you have dipped sprinkle your topping how little or how much its fun to mix and match the toppings.  Place on wax paper then put in Freezer for about 30 minutes then enjoy.

We usually do this before making lunch that way after lunch is finished the bananas are ready to enjoy.  If your making them for later use after about 30 minutes wrap them in wax paper and slip in a zip lock bag.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. To find other toddler friendly recipes you can visit Mommyland
