Mashed Banana Cream

Ok, I’ve been babbling about this a lot lately, and it’s so simple that it’s hardly worth posting about. Still, it’s delicious and healthy, and since I’m obsessed with it well… Here it is!

It’s a simple basic idea that can be modified in a million ways really and served with pretty much anything! Here’s a few ways that I have used this:

  • Alone with raisins,
  • Over cut up fruits (with and without cereals on top),
  • I have served it over a brownie (shhhhhhhh!),
  • On top of waffles,

Banana Cream
1 serving (or 2 if you serve over something else)

Served here with strawberries & raisins

Ingredients

1 banana
2 TBSP to 1/4 cup of Fat Free plain Greek yogurt
Pinch of cinnamon
Pinch of lemon zest (optional)

Mash the banana with a fork (I tried the hand held blender or just cutting up the banana and the consistency is just not the same) and mix with the yogurt. The mix should be chunky, and creamy at the same time.

Add cinnamon, lemon zest, and whatever you feel like adding in there.

Notes:

  • As I said, I’ve tried mashing the banana with a fork gives the best consistency, and with only 1 banana really it’s the easiest. I’m thinking that for big batches, a potato masher might be the best thing!
  • The amount of yogurt depends on what you like. The less yogurt, the more “gooey” the mix is, the more yogurt, the smoother it is.

There you go! That’s all there is to it. I put lemon zest when I used some in a recipe and have leftovers.  It’s one of those things that is delicious by its taste and by its simplicity. I’ve tried all sorts of way to mash the banana and the fork method just gives the perfect consistency.

Enjoy!

  1. Yum! Yum yum yum! I might just have to whip this up for my afternoon snack today (usually yogurt + sliced banana…gonna get crazy and go with the mashed ‘nana). :)

    Say, have you tried making banana “ice cream”? It’s truly magical. http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-creamy-ice-cream-w-93414

    I also like to mix half a mashed banana into my oatmeal while it’s cooking – gives it a natural sweetness and then you don’t need to add any sugar, honey, syrup, etc.

    I haven’t done the banana ice cream yet shamefully. I’ve been told about it so many times, I need to! I just never have the patience… I will!

    I like the idea of adding mashed banana to oatmeal. that would make for great consistency too. Hum…

    Thanks for commenting!! :)
