Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- to taste ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt I like Fage
- 2 tablespoons pecan halves chopped
- optional: colored sprinkles and cherry for topping
Instructions
- Slice the banana lengthwise, 3/4 of the way through on the side of the banana so it doesn’t roll in the air fryer and open the the skin and banana slightly.
- Top with cinnamon and air fry at 400°F for 5 to 6 minutes, until soft.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon syrup with the yogurt.
- When the banana is ready, top with yogurt, sprinkle with more cinnamon and the nuts, and drizzle with the remaining 1 teaspoon maple syrup.
- Optional, top with colored sprinkles and a cherry on top.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. However, it's best enjoyed fresh.
- Freezing: While I don't recommend freezing this dish, you can freeze ripe bananas for another use! Just peel and cut them, then place them in freezer bags.
- Pairing: Serve with a healthy smoothie or a side of oatmeal for a filling breakfast spread.
- Variations: You can swap the Greek yogurt for dairy-free alternatives like coconut yogurt for a vegan-friendly dish.
- Presentation: For special occasions, serve the dish in a banana boat for a fun and festive presentation!
