A breakfast bowl ready in minutes that pairs warm caramelized banana with cold strained yogurt. Honey and cinnamon deepen the banana's sweetness, while walnuts and chocolate add crunch. It's high in protein but also high in sugar from the honey, so keep that in mind.
Method
Put the honey in a pan and sprinkle cinnamon over it.
Add the sliced banana.
Cook over medium-low heat until the banana caramelizes and just starts to stick to the pan.
Spoon the strained yogurt or quark into a bowl.
Pour the warm banana over the yogurt.
Scatter the walnuts and dark chocolate chips on top and serve without stirring.
