Get the recipe: 3-Minute Banana Cinnamon Yogurt (My Kid's All-Time Fave!)
This Banana Yogurt comes together in just 3 minutes and is a hit with babies, toddlers, and big kids—and yes, adults love it too.
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain whole milk yogurt
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon (or 1/8 tsp nutmeg)
- 2-3 tbsp maple syrup, optional and if needed
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice, optional
Instructions
- On a cutting board or small bowl, add the bananas, maple syrup (if using), cinnamon, and lemon juice (if using).
- With the back of a fork, mash until you get your desired consistency. For a smoother puree, you can add the bananas to a blender and puree for 60 secones.
- Swirl in the banana puree into the yogurt, serve and enjoy!
Notes
Age: 6+ months (minus the maple syrup until 1+ years)
Storage: this banana yogurt can be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. You can freeze the apple puree for up to 4 months. Then you can defrost and add it to yogurt whenever you wish to serve this recipe.
Banana Tip: try to use really ripe bananas with lots of brown spots as ripe bananas are naturally sweeter and will help balance the tartness of plain yogurt.
Toppings: While this yogurt is amazing by itself, toppings and yogurt are always a good idea. Here are some of our favorite toppings to add:
- hemp seeds
- granola
- drizzle of peanut or nut butter
- drizzle of honey (over 1 year of age)
- chopped berries, strawberries or blueberries
- sliced bananas
- sprinkle of ground flax seeds
- shredded coconut flakes
