Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup prunes, pitted
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup yogurt
- Granola for topping
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing and drying all fresh produce. Slice ripe bananas diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
- In a medium non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat until it becomes slightly foamy and golden.
- Add sliced bananas to the skillet, arranging them in a single layer. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the bananas.
- Cook bananas for 2-3 minutes on each side, allowing them to develop a rich golden-brown caramelized surface. Gently flip using a spatula to prevent breaking.
- Add pitted prunes to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing them to warm and slightly soften alongside the caramelized bananas.
- Remove skillet from heat and let the fruit mixture rest for a moment to cool slightly.
- Divide yogurt evenly between two serving bowls, creating a smooth base layer.
- Carefully transfer the caramelized bananas and prunes on top of the yogurt, distributing them equally.
- Generously sprinkle granola over the fruit for added crunch and texture.
- Serve immediately while the fruit is still warm and the caramel is slightly gooey, enjoying the contrast of temperatures and textures.
Tips
- Choose ripe bananas with some brown spots for maximum natural sweetness and easier caramelization.
- Use a non-stick skillet to ensure your bananas caramelize without sticking and breaking.
- Watch the heat carefully—medium heat is key to achieving that perfect golden-brown color without burning.
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg alongside the cinnamon.
- Use Greek yogurt for a thicker, more protein-rich base if desired.
- Toast your granola briefly before topping for an enhanced nutty flavor.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between warm caramelized fruit and cool yogurt.
