It features various breakfast staples like fresh fruit and yogurt, but the presentation makes it so much fun! Plus, our kids love getting to mix and match their own toppings. Set out different options, and sit back with a glass of cold brew as they prepare breakfast themselves. You can thank us later!
Ingredients You’ll Need
Below is an overview of the ingredients and instructions for this recipe. Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details!
- Banana – Look for a ripe banana that’s still fairly firm so that it holds its shape under the weight of the other ingredients. Save the mushy bananas for banana bread!
- Yogurt – We use plain Greek yogurt, but you can also substitute a flavored yogurt or even cottage cheese.
- Fresh Berries – We like to use a combination of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries.
- Almond Butter – Smooth or chunky versions taste great! Or, substitute peanut butter, cashew butter, or even tahini.
- Granola – We prefer to use either our homemade French toast granola or salted dark chocolate granola, but any store-bought brand will also work.
How to Make a Healthy Breakfast Banana Split
- Prepare the banana. Peel the banana and slice it in half lengthwise. Then, place each piece side by side in a shallow bowl or plate.
2. Layer. Top the banana halves with yogurt. Then, add the berries, followed by the nut butter and granola. Enjoy!
Tip: If your nut butter is not “pourable,” scoop it into a small bowl and microwave it for about 15 seconds or until you achieve a drizzly consistency.
Common Questions
Feel free to use whatever you have on hand! Chopped nuts, coconut flakes, whipped cream, chocolate chips, sprinkles, or chocolate sauce all make for fun additions.
No, this recipe is best served right away. If left to sit, the fruit will become soggy and start to oxidize.
