1-bowl chocolate banana skillet

24th January 2018 by letseatsmart Leave a Comment

Have you ever watched a good banana go bad?

Some gorgeous, bright yellow bananas withered away in my fruit bowl last week. Although a banana turning the wrong shade of brown is a common sight, I really hate when it happens. It’s a tragedy.

When a banana loses its firmness and turns soft and squidgy, it becomes hard to eat on it’s own. But it’s life doesn’t have to end there. It can in fact be mashed up and used in a number of yummy recipes such as this one. A delicious chocolate banana skillet. Happy days!

Ripe bananas are actually much better to use in cooking since this is when they are at their sweetest and have a more intense banana flavour. They are really a blessing, not a curse.

This chocolate banana skillet is gooey, fudgy, requires just one bowl and you can have it ready in just 20 minutes! Wehey!

Note: This recipe uses one flax egg. If you want to learn more about vegan egg alternatives in cooking and baking, please read my blog post here (link opens in a new tab).

AD | This “Raffaello” inspired almond coconut AD | This “Raffaello” inspired almond coconut smoothie bowl is an absolute must! It’s vegan, gluten-free and oh so delicious! 🥥  What I love most about this recipe is how easy it is to make. As a new mum I find it hard to find the time to make nutritious meals so the idea of chucking everything into a blender to make a delicious meal is really appealing.  Thanks to the frozen bananas this smoothie bowl is basically a bowl of soft scoop ice cream. It’s a balanced recipe that’s perfect for breakfast or dessert. The new Protein Drink Mix - Vegan from @herbalifeuk not only adds to the flavour but it’s also high in protein, contains 22 vitamins and minerals AND it’s gluten-free and sugar-free!
For the smoothie:
• 1.5 servings (42g) Herbalife Nutrition Protein Drink Mix - Vegan (Vanilla flavour)
• 1 frozen green banana (using ripe bananas will alter the flavour)
• 50ml coconut drink + 100ml water (adding more if you need)
• 1.5 tbsp desiccated coconut
Toppings:
• 8 whole almonds
• 1 tbsp flaked almonds
• 1 tbsp desiccated coconut
• 1⁄2 tbsp almond butter
• vegan white chocolate chunks
Method:
Place all of the smoothie ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth, for around 30-60
seconds.
Transfer into a bowl and decorate with whole and flaked almonds, desiccated coconut and white choc chunks before drizzling with the almond butter.  #smoothiebowl #coconut #raffaello #smoothie #protein #proteinsmoothie #proteinshake #vegan #veganuk #veganfood #veganrecipes #vegandietmealplan #veganbreakfast #vegansnacks #foodphotography #foodstylist #foodstagram #veganprotein #veganuary #veganlife #friendsnotfood
