Ingredients
  

1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup finely crushed cinnamon graham crackers (or churro cereal)

Pinch of salt

2 tablespoons melted butter (for a delicious dipping option)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the vanilla Greek yogurt with the honey or maple syrup (if using), ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Shape the Bites: With a small spoon or cookie scoop, take portions of the yogurt mixture and drop them onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Shape each dollop into a small round bite, aiming for about 1 inch in diameter, ensuring they are compact.

      Coat the Bites: In a shallow dish, combine the granulated sugar and finely crushed cinnamon graham crackers (or churro cereal) until uniformly mixed. Once all the yogurt bites have been shaped, gently roll each bite in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring they are completely coated in the sweet mixture for that decadent churro experience.

        Freeze the Bites: Carefully place the baking tray with the coated yogurt bites in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for a minimum of 2-3 hours, or until they have become firm and are easy to handle.

          Serve: After the yogurt bites are fully frozen, remove them from the tray and transfer them to an airtight container for serving. For an extra indulgent treat, offer melted butter on the side for dipping, enhancing the churro-like flavor.

            Store Leftovers: If you have any leftover bites, simply store them in the freezer in a sealed container where they will keep fresh for up to 2 weeks.
