Ingredients

3 Ingredient Peanut Butter "Ice Cream"

  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 3 tsp honey
  • pinch of salt

Healthy and Easy Caramelized Banana Split

  • 4 ripe bananas You want it to be JUST when it starts to get a few brown spots, since you are caramelizing it you want it to still be able to hold its shape when cooked in frying pan
  • 1/2 cup raw pecans
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a medium sized bowl pour in honey, peanut butter & greek yogurt. Take spatula & mix until thoroughly combined. You will notice it starts to thicken, which is what you want. Then pour in chocolate chips, and fold them in. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • While the “ice cream” is chilling, add 1 tbsp coconut oil to medium sized frying pan & turn on heat to medium high. Then once it has heated for 2 minutes, turn down to medium heat. Add in the pecans. With a spatula coat the nuts in the coconut oil. Then sprinkle 1⁄2 the coconut sugar & cinnamon over the nuts. Then toss them in the seasoning as well. Keep toasting & toasting them for 3-5 minutes, until browned. Then transfer to a bowl to cool.
  • In the same frying pan, wipe out with a towel, then add in the last tbsp of coconut oil on medium heat. Next slice the banana in half horizontally, so you have 2 long halves. Then place them banana halves inside down first in the frying pan. Then sprinkle coconut sugar & cinnamon on top, cook for 30 seconds. Then flip so the inside part is now facing up. Sprinkle with coconut sugar & cinnamon, cook for 1 minute. Then flip to the other side one more time & cook for 1 minute. Then take the pan off the heat & let cool in the pan for another minute.
  • Now you will assemble! Place banana halves toward the outside of the bowl. Then scoop 2 spoonfuls of the peanut butter yogurt mixture in the middle of the caramelized bananas. Sprinkle with toasted nuts, more chocolate chips & enjoy!
