Ingredients
  

  • 2 large , ripe bananas
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1 g / 0.04 oz) ground cinnamon, plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 cup (60 g / 2.12 oz) Greek vanilla yogurt
  • 1/4 cup (55 g / 1.94 oz) canned crushed pineapple
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) liquid honey
  • 1 teaspoon (3 g / 0.11 oz) cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) pineapple juice
  • Pan-fry the cinnamon-dusted banana halves for 1-2 minutes per side in a lightly greased skillet for a delicious caramelized flavor.
  • Make it dairy-free and vegan by using a thick coconut yogurt and swapping honey for maple syrup.
  • Use bananas that are ripe with a few brown spots for maximum sweetness, but still firm enough to slice neatly.

Method
 

  1. Prep the Bananas: Peel and slice the bananas in half lengthwise.
  2. Arrange them in two serving bowls and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon.
  3. Create the Slurry: In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and pineapple juice together until completely smooth.
  4. Set aside.
  5. Warm the Sauce: Combine the Greek yogurt, crushed pineapple, and honey in a small saucepan.
  6. Whisk gently over medium-low heat until just warmed through.
  7. Thicken and Finish: Increase the heat to medium-high.
  8. Pour in the cornstarch slurry and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
  9. Assemble and Enjoy: Immediately spoon the warm pineapple sauce over the cinnamon-dusted bananas.
  10. Garnish with an extra dash of cinnamon, if you like, and serve warm.
  11. Add texture and flavor with toppings like toasted walnuts, shredded coconut, or fresh berries.
