    Like, woah. This jar of goodness is a quick and easy treat that isn’t nearly as bad for your waistline as it looks. Technically you could have this for breakfast. I mean, it has yogurt in it. And bananas! 

    Caramelized Banana & Gingersnap Parfaits

    THE most delicious caramelized bananas on the planet. Why don’t I cook more things in sugar? Holy cooooow.

    But there’s a secret sauce. Literally. You guys, this secret sauce is what puts this Caramelized Banana & Gingersnap Parfait over the top!

    T-Sugars Belgian Cassonade Syrup is the ultimate way to top off this treat. It’s thick, sweet, and oh-so syrup-y.

    That drip! I love the contrast in flavors and textures in this Caramelized Banana & Gingersnap Parfait. Tart yogurt, crunchy cookies, and sweet bananas with syrup. It’s the trifecta.

    Description

    Tart yogurt, crunchy cookies, and sweet bananas with syrup make these Caramelized Banana & Gingersnap Parfaits a dream treat!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 bananas (sliced)
    • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
    • 16 ounces plain greek yogurt
    • Gingersnap cookies
    • T-Sugars Belgian Cassonade Syrup

    Instructions

    1. 1) Add the brown sugar to a bowl and lightly coat the bananas on both sides with the sugar. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and coat with cooking spray.
    2. 2) Add the sugar coated bananas to the pan in a single layer. Let cook, without touching them, for 4-5 minutes. Carefully flip bananas and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side. Remove from pan and set aside.
    3. 3) Assemble the parfaits. Take a jar and spoon some yogurt in the bottom, then layer with 4-5 sliced bananas, then a layer of crumbled cookies, and a squeeze of the Belgian Cassonade Syrup. Repeat layers until jar is full. Eat immediately or keep in the fridge until ready to eat.
