Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a small oven-safe baking dish with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Peel the banana and slice it in half lengthwise. Place both halves in the prepared dish.

Step 3: Scatter the blueberries over the banana. Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Step 4: Bake for 20 minutes, or until the banana is soft and the blueberries are juicy.

Step 5: Let the fruit cool slightly, then carefully transfer it to a bowl. Add a scoop of plain yogurt and sprinkle with granola. Serve while the fruit is still warm.

The fruit and its juices will be hot when they come straight from the oven. Allow them to cool to a comfortable temperature before serving, especially to children.

🍋 Simply Made Suggestions

Get the kids involved: With supervision, kids can slice the banana using a child-safe knife, add the berries, and sprinkle on the cinnamon. An adult should handle the oven and hot dish.
Use what you have: Fresh or frozen blueberries work in this recipe.
Add the crunch last: Sprinkle on the granola just before serving so it stays crisp.
Change the toppings: Try coconut flakes, dried cranberries, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of peanut or cashew butter.
Make it dessert: Add a little chocolate-hazelnut spread or caramel sauce for a sweeter finish.
