Entice your tastebuds with this delicious breakfast treat!
Now that summer seems to have finally arrived I’ve been struggling with breakfast ideas for my little fussy eater. She will gladly eat porridge on cold mornings but on warmer days she always asks for toast. We all love a bit of buttery, jammy toast every so often but I’ve been trying to expand her breakfast tastes a bit more. And so this immense breakfast banana split was born!
I used plain greek yoghurt sweetened with a little vanilla extract but you could use any flavour of yoghurt that your kids (or you!) enjoy. My fussy eater couldn’t quite believe her eyes when she saw chocolate on the plate for breakfast. I wouldn’t normally give her Nutella so early in the day but I figured that small amount of chocolate is balanced out by all the goodness of that delicious fruit. I have to say I enjoyed this as much as my fussy eater and I can see us tucking into this breakfast treat a lot over the summer.
We are off on holidays tomorrow for a week (hooray!) so the blog will be a little quiet until I’m back. But come follow me on Facebook where I’m sure I’ll be sharing lots of our delicious spanish meals! Adios!

Entice your tastebuds with this delicious breakfast treat
Ingredients
- 1/2 tbsp nutella
- 4 tbsp greek yoghurt
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 banana
- 150g / 1 cup berries (I use strawberries, raspberries and blueberries)
- 25g / 1/3 cup granola
Instructions
- Melt the nutella in the microwave for 10-20 seconds until it becomes a bit more runny. Don’t let it burn! Mix the vanilla extract and greek yoghurt together.
- Cut the banana in two lengthways and arrange on a plate. Spoon on the yoghurt, top with the berries and granola and swirl over the melted nutella.
- Serve immediately or keep in the fridge for a couple of hours.
I’m always stuck for new breakfast ideas so this made such a tasty change to our usual repertoire of toast or cereal. Not sure who enjoyed it more, me or the kids!!

I can get behind a banana split for breakfast anyday. Beautiful photos!
Thank you Katy!
oh wow, banana split for breakfast, yes please! My kids would think it was Christmas if I replaced their Malted Wheaties with this!
Ha ha! It looks like such a treat doesn’t it. But secretly healthy!
My children would absolutely love this for breakfast, I’m definitely going to give it a go. In fact, I’d love it myself.
I haven’t had this in a couple of weeks. Think its time to whip up another banana split brekkie again this week. Let me know if you try it!
