Banana bread is always a good choice, but you can also use those ripe bananas to make these rich, tangy popsicles. They're cool and creamy, of course, but they're not overly sweet.

Ingredients

3 medium ripe bananas, sliced
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 freezer pop molds or paper cups (3 ounces each) and wooden pop sticks

Directions

Place first four ingredients into blender; puree until smooth. Pour into molds or paper cups; top molds with holders. If using cups, top with foil and insert pop sticks through foil. Freeze until firm. To serve, let pops stand at room temperature 5 minutes before unmolding.
