It wouldn’t be summer without banana splits am I right?! They’re a super fun and yummy dessert loved by kids and adults.

Ingredients Needed
- Banana– It wouldn’t be a banana split without a banana! They also contain a lot of potassium, magnesium, fiber, and vitamins.
- Plain Greek Yogurt– Greek yogurt contains a lot of protein and antibiotics.
- Maple Syrup– Maple syrup gives this Healthy Banana Split Breakfast Bowl the perfect amount of sweetness.
- Vanilla Extract– Use pure vanilla extract for the best results. It enhances the flavors beautifully.
- Strawberries– Strawberries are rich in antioxidants, and are a great source of vitamin C. They taste delicious with the other ingredients.
- Granola– I like to use Chocolate Chia Granola. You can also use Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Granola, or any store-bought kind.
How to make this Healthy Banana Split Breakfast Bowl
- Slice the banana length wise and place it in a bowl.
- Whisk the yogurt, vanilla, and maple syrup together in a separate, small bowl.
- Top the Banana with the yogurt, strawberry slices, and granola. Enjoy!
Healthy Banana Split Breakfast Bowl FAQS
Can I use substitute honey for the maple syrup?
Yes! Maple syrup has a thinner consistency than honey which mixes easier with the yogurt in my opinion. Honey would still provide the perfect amount of sweetness, it would just be a different sweet flavor than maple syrup.
What kind of granola should I use?
Personally, I like homemade granola. I used Chocolate Chia granola, but you can also use my Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk granola recipe or any store-bought kind.
Can I use other fruit toppings?
Of course! Banana splits usually contain pineapple topping, and I think pineapple chunks would be a delicious addition. Any other berries would taste great too.
Do I have to use plain Greek yogurt?
I recommend using the plain kind because you can add your own sweetener/flavor to it. In this recipe, I used maple syrup and vanilla extract. If you buy Greek yogurt that’s already sweetened, it usually contains a lot more sugar, but you can use that if that’s what you prefer.
Do I have to sweeten the yogurt?
No! Greek yogurt is not sweet on its own, but with the addition of fruit and granola, you could do without the maple syrup and vanilla if you would like!

Description
This wholesome breakfast is easy to make, has a stunning presentation, and is loved by both kids and adults!
Ingredients
- 1 large banana
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt* (Note 1)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup granola** (note 2)
Instructions
- Slice the banana length wise and place it in a bowl.
- In a separate, small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla.
- Top the banana with the yogurt, strawberry slices, and granola. Enjoy!
Notes
Note 1: I prefer plain yogurt because it’s easy to sweeten it with much less sugar than the store-bought sweetened vanilla kind. A small amount of maple syrup is all you need, but you can also leave that out! Other liquid sweeteners, such as honey, work as well. You can use either nonfat or whole milk Greek yogurt.
Note 2: You can use your favorite store-bought or homemade granola. I suggest this Chocolate Chia Seed Granola or this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip granola if you go the homemade route.
