My favorite story about banana splits involves my dad and Uncle Mike . It seems years and years and YEARS ago, they decided to have an eating contest. They consumed massive amounts of pizza and then went for banana splits. My dad finished his, but my Uncle Mike saved his favorite part of the banana split for last, and was too full to eat it. Somehow, this made a very big impression on me when I was a kid.
Moral of the Story: Finish your banana split whether you're too full or not.
I found this idea through Pinterest...which led me to The Kitchn (love). Their breakfast banana splits may be a *tad* bit healthier, topped with jam, but hey...you have to get your daily intake of Nutella somewhere!
Breakfast Banana Splits
1 banana
Greek yogurt (I like Fage)
sliced strawberries
Nutella
chopped nuts, toasted
Slice the banana lengthwise and place in a bowl. Add 2 scoop of yogurt...I used an ice cream scooper for this. Greek yogurt is so thick that it keeps it's shape.
Add the sliced strawberries.
Heat some Nutella in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Drizzle over the sundae.
Add toasted, chopped nuts. (I used almonds here, but pecans might be my favorite.)
Ta-da! Breakfast Banana Splits!
Make them soon. I won't tell if you eat all of the Nutella off the top first. You know, just in case you're too full to eat the rest. ;)

Like everyone else, I think these look spectacular, but I really came here to comment on your BOWLS! I haven't seen anyone else with Currier and Ives china! This is my everyday dishware. I collected it for a long time and then decided to put it to good use. Too cute to see it on your blog!
ReplyDeleteYou are awesomely evil in the best possible way
ReplyDeleteWow!! This look soooooo good!
ReplyDeleteFun breakfast treats. I use greek yogurt in like everything!! The Nutella is a super fab twist. I am falling asleep at my computer, but this just opened my eyes BIG.xxoo
ReplyDeleteI think I could be ok with having this for breakfast...I don't know, it may not be indulgent enough ;) Love it, B!
ReplyDeleteYum!
ReplyDeleteOh my word! That looks so good and I have a banana phobia, I know I'm weird. Girl you come up with some of the best look sweets on the planet :) xoxo
ReplyDeletehow clever, I love it!!
ReplyDeleteOmigod - too good! Too genius! Must do!!
ReplyDeleteWhy yes, I do want one. YUM!!! Adding all ingredients to the grocery list now... =)
ReplyDeleteYour Uncle Mike is all about his Greek yogurt these days:) So I'll have to present this breakfast idea to him soon. And if for some reason he can't eat it, I will!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post! All good stuff I will try it!
ReplyDeleteSuch a good idea, and the pictures are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and I LOVE Nutella, it really is the best thing in the world.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that looks divine! It would definitely be motivation to eat your most important meal of the day!
ReplyDeleteUmm yes I want one! Greek yogurt and nutella yumm:)
ReplyDeleteAh yes, anything that has Nutella as an ingredient gets my vote! My only complaint would be the "breakfast" aspect of this ... because I can totally see myself eating this for every meal.
ReplyDeleteThis is the yummiest thing I've seen in a while. Hello breakfast!
ReplyDeleteThis is one menu i'll be looking forward to wake up to in the morning... so scrumptious!!!
ReplyDeleteNow, that's my kind of breakfast! Bravo!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea! Our dietary restrictions mean we can't eat sugar (or bananas), but this gives me a great idea to mix some cocoa powder into the almond butter and drizzle it over the strawberries and yogurt. OMNOMNOM.
ReplyDeleteFruit for breakfast is the best! And that looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThese look great . . . . except I do not like greek yogurt at all :-( I use it to cook with but to just eat, icky I wonder if regular yogurt work work just as well?
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! I love it!! You are so dang cool! Who'd have thought!!! Banana splits for breakfast! Luckiest kiddo EVER!!!
ReplyDeleteYum!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. Yes I do (want one, that is). Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteWhat? Yes, please!!
ReplyDeleteOooh yeah. This is my kinda breakfast.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah baby~
ReplyDeleteGreg would smooch me to pieces if I made this for him! xo
Those look AH-mazing! That, and I love that you have the same dishes/bowls that my mom had when I was growing up. That pattern is a sweet flashback for me. Is it a Texas thing? I was born & raised in Nacogdoches. ♥
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love nutella...and the overall picture just looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteYum! But I have to say that I noticed the bowls you used. My mom has the EXACT same dishes.... We grew up using them and they're still going strong.
ReplyDeleteThanks for another lovely post!
I literally just had dinner, but my stomach is rumbling just looking at these. It's so simple, but so YUMMY. Thanks for sharing this recipe :)
ReplyDeletealaina :)
oh my! I'm gasping with the deliciousness of this!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! I'm sure the munchkins (and I) would love it!
ReplyDeletethis looks ama-zing! I hosted a banana split bar at work yesterday but this looks even better! Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! My mom is coming this weekend and I am planning to make her something homemade. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
ReplyDeleteEgads! My family has that exact China!
ReplyDeleteI think I might make this and just use melted chocolate since I don't have nutella. Thanks for the great idea :)
