Date Caramel & Nutbutter Drizzled Baked Bananas


The baked breakfast banana is back! I eat this with some yoghurt for breakfast or on its own as a snack. It is quick, very sweettooth soothing and in my humble opinion, quite wholesome. Give it a go. 

For the date caramel drizzle you have to make a jar of my date dulce de leche first (don't worry it is a super quick recipe, only 2 neccesary ingredients are needed) or make an extra quick version by blending 1 Medjool date with enough water or plantbased milk, with optional addition of some salt and vanilla, to form a beautiful carmael sauce.

I do reccomend adding the toasted coconut flakes or some nuts to add some crunch to the bananas as the baking makes them very soft.

You could easily grill the bananas in a pan on low to medium heat to get the same results if you don't have an oven or if you don't have time to preheat the oven. Just to be safe to keep the bananas from breaking the oven works better for me.

If your nutbutter or date caramel is too creamy for drizzling, just add some water to make it more liquidy.

Smearing the bananas with a little bit of sugar before putting them in the oven prevents them from turning grey-ish and slightly disgusting looking. The maple syrup makes them beautiful golden coloured.

Enjoy!
