Breakfast Banana Splits

Adapted slightly from Grab a Plate

Super fun, super fast, and super healthy, these breakfast banana splits with Greek yogurt, granola, fresh berries and a yummy peanut butter drizzle will totally start your day out on a playful note!

When I first saw these breakfast banana splits, I was totally smitten. They looked SO fun, I couldn’t wait to try it … And I thought it was something I definitely wanted to make for the nieces and nephews next time we got together.

So I ran to the store and got some Greek yogurt and I made my own peanut butter granola … because you know, who doesn’t do that? (JK, I know I’m a weirdo do-it-yourselfer when it comes to food.)

On Easter weekend, my whole family got together. I brought my banana split dishes (that I inherited from a friend), a big container of strawberries and Greek yogurt. Surely my parents would have bananas … they always have bananas, don’t they?

Well yes, they did have bananas, but they were really green. Definitely NOT banana split material … Darn! That blew my breakfast banana split idea out of the water. I made them a crescent roll breakfast wreath and crescent roll danishes instead.

Maybe next time we can make the breakfast banana splits. BUT I thoroughly enjoyed MY breakfast banana split. It transported me back to childhood memories and trips to Dairy Queen … andI felt good about eating it, because it was full of good-for-me fruits, along with heart healthy nuts and oats and protein and probiotic-rich Greek yogurt.

The drizzle of peanut butter, though … THAT was my favorite part, along with the juicy red strawberries. Okay the play of crunchy, creamy and sweet juicy textures had me too. And I just LOVE having dessert for breakfast. It makes me feel a little bit naughty, but in a justified, yet responsible grownup sort of way. If you really want to take them over the top, add a bit of whipped cream and a few sprinkles to the mix.

Who says you’re not supposed to play with your food? Food is one of my favorite ways to play!
