Bruleed Bananas and Dates in Chobani

Pin It Print Friendly and PDF

I used to focus so heavily on recipe posting that my recipe list would grow by 2 or 3 each week. Now? As I focus a bit more on real life, the recipes have been few and far between.

#Oops. I guess this blog is as versatile and changing as real life. #SorryImNotSorry

That said, sometimes I make something that is just so delicious, it pretty much comes out of the oven screaming "SHARE ME ON THE BLOG!" Like a mandrake root kind of scream (Harry Potter for the win). A girl has to oblige.


This recipe is an awesome breakfast, mid-day snack, or even dessert. Don't hesitate to swap out ingredients, like using a different greek yogurt (or regular yogurt, if you must). If you want it a bit sweeter, feel free to use vanilla instead of plain yogurt.

Bruleed Bananas and Dates in Chobani

Ingredients:


  • 1 Banana
  • 1 tbsp Sugar, for sprinkling
  • 3 Dates
  • 2 tbsp Organic Shredded Coconut, No sugar added
  • 1 tbsp Sliced Almonds (Walnuts, Pistachios or Pralines would be delicious here, too)
  • 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • Parchment paper

Directions:


  1. Slice banana into 1/2-1/4 inch pieces. Place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet and sprinkle sugar on top of banana pieces. Broil for a few minutes, until the sugar has browned. Set aside.
  2. Chop dates.
  3. Scoop yogurt into a bowl or cup. Add banana slices, then sprinkle with dates, shredded coconut, and almonds.
  4. Enjoy the heck out of that bowl of delicious goodness.

Recipe | Grapefruit Brulee

A month or so ago, I came across a recipe for Grapefruit Brulee with Yogurt and Blueberry Sauce over at Ambitious Kitchen. Not only did it look delicious, but it also incorporated grapefruit, which is a fruit I often crave but haven't got creative with yet.

One morning, I was determined to get creative with grapefruit... but didn't have the ingredients necessary for the recipe I'd seen.

Thus began my typical method for cooking. It goes kind of like this...

"I don't have that thing the recipe says I need... what other crap do I have lying around that I can use instead?"

And that's where the fun starts. That's how I end up with 60 calorie sparkling water cupcakes, 100 calorie cake balls, and Skinny Monkey (the Chunky Monkey Substitute).
