Baked banana yogurt

Melt-in-your-mouth, deliciousness!

Healthy eating doesn’t need to be complicated. This baked banana yogurt comes together in minutes and is a true one-bowl wonder. It requires almost no cooking skills yet ticks so many boxes - it's simple, nourishing, and a total crowd pleaser. Baked banana yogurt is wholesome enough for breakfast and sweet enough to save for dessert. It’s naturally gluten and sugar-free and is packed with protein, thanks to homemade yogurt, eggs and almond flour.

Baking yogurt and egg creates a whole different yogurt experience - it's warm, custard-like and raises like a soufflé. Add mashed ripe banana and the top caramelises beautifully. We think it’s somewhere between a cheesecake and a crème brûlée, but without the guilt. Baked banana yogurt literally melts in your mouth.

Enjoy it warm straight from the oven on chilly mornings for something cosy and comforting or chill it and serve cold. It’s especially good cold with a spoon of extra yogurt on top!

Great for meal prep

Baked banana yogurt keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days, making it ideal for make-ahead breakfasts, snacks or dessert. The recipe makes 2 servings, but ingredients can easily be multiplied for more.

Ingredients

½ cup yogurt (Greek style, avoiding the watery whey)
1 ripe banana (½ cup mashed) plus extra for decorating.
2 eggs
¼ cup almond flour
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
Butter for greasing
Optional ad-ins: chopped walnuts, pecan, desiccated coconut or chocolate chips

Method

1.   Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F)
2.   Grease the base of 2 large ramekins or 450 ml Luvele Fresh vacuum seal containers
3.   Add all ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. Whisk with a fork until thoroughly combined. 
4.   Pour batter into the greased containers. For extra banana flavour, add a few slices on top before cooking or try some of the optional extra suggestions.
5.   Bake for 20 minutes. Baked banana yogurt will raise like a souffle while cooking but deflate as it cools. 
6.   Serve warm or chilled.
