Tips & Suggestions
1 Freeze bananas ahead of time. Choose fresh bananas that are partially green or just turned yellow with no brown spots. The more they ripen the sweeter they become & have a higher calorie count. Slice them about 1/2" thick & place, in a single layer, in a quart sized freezer bag. Use them within 2 weeks or so.
2 Medjool dates are larger than regular dates & have a magnificent creamy caramel taste to them. You can find them in the produce section of most larger supermarkets.
3 It's worth the money to buy good quality vanilla extract, as the taste is far superior to the cheaper imitation vanilla. You can find the good quality vanilla extract in the spice isle in most large supermarkets.
4 It's easier to remove the ramekins from the oven when on a cookie sheet.
This is such a tasty warm breakfast idea. Kind of like dessert for breakfast but a super healthy one! I love blueberries but we have a lot of fresh cherries at the moment. Going to try it with those too!
Oh yes, I’ll bet it would be great with cherries (which I love). Let me know how it turns out!
I love how adaptable things like this are. You can really adapt it to what you like.
You’re exactly right Aimee, this is customizable in so many ways!
I love all the healthy ingredients in this recipe! Sounds like a winning combination for breakfast!
Thanks so much Allyson, hope you enjoy it!
Ran out of blueberries for the cobbler so substituted peaches. It came out so good I’m thinking just about any fruit could be used. Apples come to mind which blends well with cinnamon and coconut. I also added a tablespoon of flax because it’s so good for you and doesn’t alter the taste in any way.
I’m so glad you liked it Kathy! Those are all great ideas… thanks for sharing those suggestions. I think you’re right, just about any fruit would work. I’m thinking a combo of strawberries & raspberries would be yummy too.
