Classic Breakfast Banana Split

Caregory : Breakfast Recipes

Pretend you are having dessert for breakfast—complete with whipped cream and a chocolate "sauce." We chose strained yogurt (e.g., Greek-style or skyr) over regular for two reasons—it has more protein for staying power and its thicker consistency holds its shape for ice-cream-scoop vibes. Vanilla, strawberry and chocolate are a classic combo here.

Ingredient

    • ¼ cup almond butter

    • 1 tablespoon cacao powder

    • 3 tablespoons water

    • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, divided

    • ¼ cup heavy cream

    • 4 ripe bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise

    • ⅔ cup low-fat vanilla strained yogurt

    • ⅔ cup low-fat strawberry strained yogurt

    • ⅔ cup whole-milk chocolate strained yogurt (see Tip)

    • ½ cup pitted cherries

    • 4 tablespoons granola

Direction

    1. Whisk almond butter, cacao powder, water and 1 tablespoon maple syrup in a small bowl until smooth.

    2. Whisk cream and the remaining 1 tablespoon maple syrup in a small bowl until soft peaks form.

    3. Arrange 2 banana halves on each of 4 plates. Use an ice-cream scoop to divide vanilla, strawberry and chocolate yogurts among the bananas. Drizzle the almond sauce over the yogurt. Divide cherries and granola among the banana splits. Top with the whipped cream.
