Grilled caramelized bananas, served with vanilla coconut yoghurt, berries, pistachios and drizzled with dark chocolate. I cannot think of a more perfect light and fruity breakfast bowl. This would be great as a dessert too. There’s something quite comforting about eating caramelised bananas.

You could even rustle up a side of mini pancakes to serve alongside this recipe. Or maybe sprinkle over some homemade granola like my nutty. Almond, vanilla and buckwheat granola recipe. Here’s the recipe.

Notes on ingredients

Bananas

Ensure you use bananas that are neither too ripe nor under-ripe. The best bananas to use are just before they start forming brown spots.

Yoghurt

I love anything by the coconut collaborative because it has the least nasty added ingredients and doesn’t contain soy yay! However, it’s your call to use your fave brand if you prefer. Some people eat yoghurt following a paleo diet even though it’s not strictly paleo. You could swap for coconut kefir instead.

Toppings

I used pistachios, fresh and frozen berries, and rose petals to decorate the bowl. However, use any nuts you prefer.

Other toppings you could use;

Bee pollen
Shaved coconut
Raspberries
Cacao nibs
Sunflower seeds
Pumpkin seeds
Hemp seeds
Muesli
Granola

Honey

Try to source either organic or raw local honey where possible. If you are following a vegan diet use other sweeteners like;

Agave - Shop here

Maple - shop here

Coconut blossom nectar - shop here

Dairy Free Chocolate

My fave chocolate to use that is dairy free is green and blacks or raw chocolate like Ombar. If you have not heard of raw chocolate. Then read this article. Raw chocolate is incredibly healthy and boasts some amazing health benefits too. Yes, chocolate that’s good for you. There is a god!! All raw chocolate is dairy free. You can even make it yourself, I have recipes that you might love, take a look here. Other allergy friendly chocolate brands and where to buy:
