Ingredients
1 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
1 medium Banana, sliced
1 teaspoon Coconut oil
2 teaspoons Maple Syrup
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 tablespoon Walnuts, chopped
Drizzle of Peanut Butter (optional)
Instructions
Heat a small skillet over medium heat.
Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, and cinnamon into the pan to create a glaze.
Add sliced bananas to the glaze and cook for two to three minutes per side until golden brown.
Remove the bananas from the pan once caramelized.
Add the chopped walnuts to the empty skillet and toast for one minute.
Whisk the Greek yogurt and protein powder together in a bowl until smooth.
Top the yogurt mixture with the warm caramelized bananas and toasted walnuts.
Drizzle with optional peanut butter if desired.
Notes
Skyr can be used as a direct alternative to Greek yogurt. Pecans make a delicious substitute for walnuts. Ensure bananas are firm so they maintain their shape during the caramelization process.
