Crunchy Bananas & Caramel Recipe
Crunchy Bananas & Caramel Recipe-February 2024
Feb 12, 2026 4:11 AM

  Ideally, this recipe should be prepared with firm bananas: The softer ones are best reserved for banana breads and muffins. I buy a couple of bananas pretty much every time I go to the grocery store (way more frequently than most, I’m sure), so I’m always set no matter what I want to do with them.

  

Ingredients

makes 1 serving

  1 tablespoon fat-free caramel-flavored sundae topping

  1 small (6 to 7 inches) banana, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

  1 1/2 teaspoons high-fiber, low-fat crunchy cereal (I used Grape-Nuts)

  

Step 1

Heat the caramel sauce in a small bowl in the microwave until warmed, 10 to 30 seconds. Place the bananas in a small, deep bowl. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the bananas. Top evenly with the cereal. Serve immediately.
