Breakfast Banana Split with Homemade Granola

If you have a little extra time in the morning, you should skip your typical fruit & yogurt combo and give this Breakfast Banana Split with Homemade Granola a try!

Start by prepping your banana. Cut in half lengthwise and place on a foil sheet. Melt half a teaspoon of butter in the microwave and brush evenly over top of both banana slices. Combine half a teaspoon of brown sugar and an eight teaspoon of ground cinnamon together and layer over top of the banana slices. Wrap the bananas in foil and broil in the oven for 4 minutes.

While the bananas are cooking, make your granola. In a small microwavable bowl, mix together one tablespoon of large flake oats, one teaspoon of whole wheat flour, one teaspoon of maple syrup, a quarter teaspoon of brown sugar and a dash of cinnamon. Microwave for one minute, mixing the blend every fifteen seconds. Remove from the microwave and set aside. 

Once the bananas are done cooking, remove from the oven and plate. Top with a third cup of low fat vanilla yogurt, a quarter cup of mixed berries and your homemade granola.
