Healthy Banana Cinnamon Breakfast Bowl You’ll Love
There’s something deeply comforting about warm bananas and cinnamon in the morning. It’s the kind of smell that slows you down, even on the busiest days. This breakfast bowl was born out of those quiet moments when you want something nourishing but still cozy something that feels like care in a bowl. The contrast of cool, creamy yogurt with softly caramelized bananas brings a sense of balance, just like a good morning should. It’s simple, honest food made with ingredients you probably already have, and that’s what makes it special. No rush, no perfection just a warm start that feels grounding and kind.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Banana Cinnamon Breakfast Bowl :
Step 1 :
Slice the banana into rounds. I usually prep mine on a small board and keep everything close, mixing later in the OXO Good Grips 3 Quart Mixing Bowl, but any bowl you own works just fine.
Step 2 :
Heat the coconut oil in a small skillet over medium heat. I like using the Lodge Cast Iron Skillet, though a regular nonstick pan from your kitchen is perfectly okay.
Step 3 :
Add banana slices and sprinkle with cinnamon. Sauté gently for 2–3 minutes. Drizzle honey in the last minute. Stir carefully using a Cuisinart Silicone Spatula, or whatever spatula you already have at home.
Step 4 :
In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, rolled oats, and whey protein powder until smooth.
Step 5 :
Top the yogurt mixture with warm caramelized bananas and serve immediately.
