Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas, mashed

1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)

1/2 cup low-fat Greek yogurt

1/4 cup almond butter

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

2 tbsp cornstarch (for thickening)

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (for garnish)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the mashed bananas, almond milk, Greek yogurt, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

    Thicken the Pudding: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Gradually add this slurry into the banana mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

      Cook the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it starts to thicken—about 5-7 minutes. Once thickened, remove from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

        Add the Oats: Stir in the rolled oats into the pudding mixture until evenly distributed. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to fully set.

          Serve: Once chilled, stir the pudding gently, then divide it into serving bowls. Top with chopped pecans or walnuts and garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added pop of color and flavor.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately and savor the blended flavors of Bananas Foster with a rich protein boost!
