Caramelized Banana Yogurt Fool With Amaretti Recipes

CARAMELIZED BANANA WITH WHIPPED YOGURT

Steps:

• Bash the sesame seeds, pecans and almonds in a pestle and mortar and add to a frying pan over a medium-high heat and stir until toasted for 1 minute or so. Add 2 tablespoons maple syrup and stir to coat the nuts. Allow to cook for another minute.
• While the granola is toasting in the pan toss the bananas in the sugar and place onto another frying pan along with the butter. Fry for a minute on either side until caramelised and golden.
• In a medium bowl whisk the Greek yogurt with the remaining tablespoon of maple syrup and the seeds from the vanilla pod. Stir until fully incorporated.
• Spoon the yogurt into the base of a bowl, top with two banana slices per portion followed by the granola.

EASY CARAMELIZED BANANAS

Steps:

• Slice bananas into thick coins or lengthwise strips, depending on your preference.
• Pour sugar onto a plate. Roll bananas in sugar, until completely coated.
• Spray a medium size nonstick pan, and heat over medium high heat. Add bananas and sugar.
• Cook bananas until light to golden brown underneath, about 4-5 minutes (you can lift with a spatula or fork to peek). Be careful not to overcook or burn them (if you smell them browning, or see color in the pan, flip them right away). Keep in mind these times will vary, depending on your stove.
• Gently flip bananas over to brown other side, turning heat down to medium. The second side will brown in about one minute.
• Transfer to a plate that has been coated with cooking spray (otherwise they may stick - they are ooey gooey and sticky!) and serve. Alternately, slide them right onto your ice cream or breakfast food.
• Soak pan in hot water to facilitate cleaning.
