Instructions
 

Prepare the Cinnamon Streusel:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, packed brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the mixture is well blended and free of lumps.

      - Drizzle the melted butter over the dry ingredients. Using a fork or your fingers, mix and combine until the mixture takes on a crumbly texture resembling coarse crumbs.

        - Spread the prepared streusel topping evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

          Make the Frozen Yogurt Base:

            - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.

              - Gradually add the milk, stirring continuously until the mixture achieves a creamy consistency with no lumps.

                Freeze the Yogurt Mixture:

                  - Pour the yogurt mixture into a shallow dish or use ice cube trays for coin-shaped treats.

                    - Level the surface with a spatula to ensure an even texture. Evenly sprinkle the cooled cinnamon streusel topping over the surface of the yogurt mixture.

                      - Place the dish or trays in the freezer and allow to set for about 3-4 hours, or until completely firm.

                        Cutting and Serving:

                          - Once frozen, use a round cookie cutter to cut out coin shapes from the frozen yogurt. If you opted for ice cube trays, simply pop the yogurt coins out.

                            - Serve immediately, garnished with fresh fruit if desired. Any leftovers can be returned to the freezer for later enjoyment.

                              Enjoy:

                                - These delightful Frozen Yogurt Cinnamon Streusel Coins serve as a delicious snack or a light dessert, combining the creaminess of yogurt with the crunchy texture of cinnamon topping!
