Ingredients

1 cup plain Greek yogurt or skyr
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 ripe banana sliced
1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Small pinch of salt

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS

1 tablespoon chopped walnuts or pecans
Drizzle of peanut butter or almond butter
Pinch of flaky sea salt
Handful of granola for extra crunch

Instructions

Place a small skillet over medium heat. Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, and a tiny pinch of salt.
Add the banana slices in a single layer. Let them cook for about 2–3 minutes on each side until soft, golden, and lightly caramelized.
Transfer the bananas to a plate. Add the chopped walnuts or pecans to the same skillet and toast them for about 1 minute until fragrant.
In a bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt and vanilla protein powder until smooth and creamy.
Spoon the yogurt mixture into a serving bowl.
Top with the warm caramelized bananas and toasted nuts.
Finish with a drizzle of peanut butter and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt if desired. Serve right away while the bananas are still warm.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use a thick plant-based yogurt. Coconut or almond-based yogurts work well, though the protein amount may be slightly lower.
If the yogurt mixture feels too thick after adding protein powder, stir in a splash of milk until it reaches your preferred consistency.
Ripe bananas work best because they become sweeter and caramelize more easily in the skillet.
Maple syrup is optional, but it gives the bananas a richer caramel flavor and makes the bowl taste extra cozy.
