Instructions
 

Make the Cinnamon Streusel:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until there are no lumps.

      - Drizzle the melted butter over the dry mixture and use a fork or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

        - Spread the streusel topping on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool.

          Prepare the Frozen Yogurt:

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

              - Gradually stir in the milk until the mixture is well combined and has a creamy consistency.

                Freeze the Yogurt Mixture:

                  - Pour the yogurt mixture into a shallow dish or into ice cube trays if you want coin-shaped pieces.

                    - Smooth out the surface with a spatula. Sprinkle the cooled cinnamon streusel evenly on top.

                      - Place in the freezer and let it set for about 3-4 hours, or until firm.

                        Serving:

                          - Once frozen, use a round cookie cutter to cut out coin shapes from the frozen yogurt. If using an ice cube tray, simply pop the coins out.

                            - Serve immediately with fresh fruit if desired, or return any leftovers to the freezer for later enjoyment.

                              Enjoy:

                                - These delicious Frozen Yogurt Cinnamon Streusel Coins are great as a snack or dessert, offering a perfect blend of creamy yogurt and crunchy cinnamon topping!
