While we were staying in Arizona two summers ago, before we actually moved here, I stumbled onto a quick and painless way to incorporate some bananas into a breakfast side for my kiddos.
We had been eating lots of them lately, and they were tired of the same old plain banana. I had to spruce them up somehow, but how?
It was extremely easy, and boy, the results were out of this world, when you consider that the only fruit in this salad is, well, bananas. Ready for the recipe? Here you go!

My children and I lap it up every time. If you’re not keen on maple syrup, feel free to substitute with honey, stevia, or any sweetener of your choice. If using stevia, my advice would be to combine the stevia and coconut oil first, and then toss with the bananas. (where to buy stevia)
How do you spruce up bananas? Let me know, and also let me know if you try these. I think you’ll love ’em.
Peace and love,

Looks yummy! I’ll have to try it. Of course I like my bananas dipped in Chocolate! 🙂
Mmmmm, Shar, that sounds so yummy. So do you just eat them at room temp or frozen? I’ll have to do that for snack time soon.
My mom used to dip them in choc then freeze them and I remember liking that when I was a kid. But I usually just melt some chocolate chips in the microwave and dip a room-temp banana in that. Strawberries are good that way, too. 🙂
Yum, we have some strawberries in the fridge…. Maybe tomorrow I’ll try that. I bought a chocolate melter at a garage sale in Sanderson and I love it. I’ve been itching for some chocolate lately too…..thanks Sharon!
What a great idea for bananas! I love the addition of the coconut oil. Thank you for sharing at the Nourishing Pin It Party.
Thank you, Millie!
LOL! I am a sucker for frozen bananas! This combo sounds wonderful!
I still have never tried frozen bananas, Callye, but I will have to soon! My curiosity’s getting the better of me. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
My new current favorite way of eating bananas is the banana cookie. 1 banana, small handful of chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup oatmeal (or sometimes I use the cinnamon/spice oatmeal packet that no one else has eaten from the combo box I bought). Bake and eat. I can eat all 6 and not feel guilty at all because all I’m eating is a banana, some oats and nuts.
Anna, that sounds delicious!
