Ingredients
  

For the yogurt bowl
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 medium ripe banana sliced
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons walnuts chopped
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt
Optional finishing touches
  • 1 pinch cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup extra for drizzling, optional

Equipment

  • 1 small nonstick skillet
  • 1 serving bowl
  • 1 spoon for serving and drizzling

Method
 

Prepare the bowl
  1. Add the Greek yogurt to a serving bowl and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
Caramelize the banana
  1. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil or butter.
  2. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer, drizzle with maple syrup, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until glossy and lightly golden at the edges.
  3. Remove the skillet from the heat and spoon the warm banana slices and any syrupy bits over the yogurt.
Finish and serve
  1. If needed, warm the almond butter briefly so it loosens, then drizzle it over the bowl.
  2. Top with chopped walnuts, flaky sea salt, and optional cinnamon or extra maple syrup. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use a ripe but firm banana so the slices hold their shape in the pan. Greek yogurt or skyr works best for a thick, high-protein base. Caramelize the banana just before serving for the best texture.
