I have never had much of a sweet tooth. I usually prefer something salty, cheesy or crunchy. However, I am human and do crave something sweet and chocolaty from time to time. The other night I wanted something warm and sweet so I took a Paula Dean recipe I found and figured out how to make it healthier (start by cutting all that butter out! haha). It is so easy and it turned out to be delicious, healthy and inexpensive so I had to share!
Banana and Chocolate Quesadilla
- 1 Banana, sliced in rounds
- 2 whole wheat tortilla's
- a handful of chocolate chips (go with dark chocolate - at least 65% cocoa to get the
best antioxidant boost)
- about 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- about a tablespoon cinnamon
- about 1.5 tablespoons butter
- vanilla frozen yogurt
Start by melting half the butter in a skillet and sprinkle in some cinnamon. Lay one tortilla down and lay the banana slices on the tortilla. Top with brown sugar, chocolate chips and cinnamon. Top with second tortilla and cook until the chocolate melts. Put remaining butter and cinnamon in the pan as you flip the tortilla. cook until crispy. Serve with a scoop of frozen yogurt and enjoy!
This dessert was so good and full of nutrients in the tortilla's, banana's, chocolate and the yogurt!
Happy Eating!
