Bananas have become such a staple item in lots of healthy foodie’s fruit bowls! We all know they’re yummy to eat but they’re even better to bake with. Whether it’s banana pancakes, healthy banana bread, banana and coconut cookies or banana ice cream ”“ there’s always something you can put together with them and normally pretty damn quickly! The natural sweetness from the bananas turns a naughty dessert into a guilt-free healthy treat whilst getting all the nutritious vitamins and minerals which you wouldn’t from typical refined sugars. Let’s be honest, they’re a win, win!

I’ve rounded up my favourite healthy banana recipes so you can all fill your boots with some banana baking this coming weekend!

1). 2-Ingredient Banana Pancakes

The Kitchn’s features always look so good, I love their site! They’ve put together some very attractive looking banana pancakes that follow a little ”˜pick’nmix’ attitude with the toppings!

5). Banana Bread Scones

Afternoon Tea is one of best things invented, maybe that’s because I’m British but I can’t imagine too many people can complain about tea and treats. These banana bread scones look to die for, I’ll take three.

Personally, I’m not a huge coffee lover but mix it with delicious sweet bananas and I think I could get there pretty quickly!

7). Banana Buckwheat Clusters

Crunchy and chewy, sweet and nutty, healthy and completely moreish! My healthy banana granola-style recipe creates little buckwheat clusters all stuck together by gooey natural bananas.

8). Chocolate, peanut butter and banana yoghurt pops!

I’m all over these when the British summer weather arrives! Such great flavour combinations and you can swap the peanut butter for nut butter to make them even more guilt-free!

10). Clean Eating Banana Muffins

I remember muffins as when you grabbed one rather stodgy chocolate muffin after a sports match at school. I’m determined to clear that image from my head and these healthy banana muffins look and sound delicious!
