A quick bowl of cool yogurt, sweet banana and crunchy granola for busy mornings.
Sample recipe in development. Cooking times are estimates; kitchen testing is still pending.
A note on this recipe
Put the yogurt in the bowl first, then add the banana and granola just before eating. Keeping those layers separate until the last minute preserves the contrast between creamy yogurt and crisp granola.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 medium banana, sliced
- ¼ cup granola
- 1 tbsp peanut or almond butter, optional
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp honey, optional
How to make it
Spoon yogurt into a shallow bowl.
Arrange banana slices on top.
Scatter granola over the banana.
Add nut butter if using, and finish with cinnamon and honey to taste.
Serve immediately while the granola remains crisp.
Kitchen notes & substitutions
Choose ripe, firm bananas
A heavily spotted banana tastes sweeter but turns soft quickly once sliced. Use one that still holds its shape.
A useful variation
Swap banana for berries or pears. For nut allergies use a suitable seed butter or skip it.
Storage & making ahead
Assemble just before eating. Store yogurt chilled and keep granola dry.
