Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Base
- 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (or Skyr)
- ½ scoop vanilla protein powder (Clean Simple Eats recommended)
Caramelized Bananas
- 1 medium banana, sliced
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup (optional for caramel flavor)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts or pecans
- Drizzle of peanut butter
- Sprinkle of flaky salt
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Warm a small skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil, maple syrup, and cinnamon, stirring to combine these ingredients and prepare for caramelizing the bananas.
- Caramelize the bananas: Add the sliced bananas to the skillet, cooking them for 2–3 minutes on each side until they become golden and caramelized. Carefully remove the bananas from the pan.
- Toast the nuts: Into the same skillet, add the chopped walnuts or pecans and toast them for about 1 minute until fragrant and slightly browned. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Mix yogurt and protein powder: While the bananas and nuts are cooking, stir together the nonfat Greek yogurt and vanilla protein powder until completely smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the bowl: Pour the protein-enriched yogurt into a serving bowl. Top with warm caramelized bananas and toasted nuts.
- Add finishing touches: Drizzle with peanut butter and sprinkle flaky sea salt over the bowl for extra flavor and texture. Serve immediately for best taste.
Notes
- You can substitute Skyr or any thick Greek-style yogurt if nonfat Greek yogurt is unavailable.
- Maple syrup is optional but adds a deeper caramel flavor to the bananas.
- Using coconut oil or butter impacts flavor; coconut oil offers a slightly tropical note, butter offers a richer taste.
- Feel free to swap walnuts or pecans for your preferred nuts or seeds.
- To keep it vegan, use a plant-based yogurt and skip the protein powder or use a vegan protein alternative.
