A boozy bananas foster is a beautiful thing, and this recipe does not disappoint. Paired with rich, creamy yogurt it tastes sinful but you can ditch the guilt;)

Cuisine: Gluten-Free, Vegetarian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoons unsalted butter or coconut oil
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup whiskey (I like Jack Daniels)
  • 2 ripe bananas, ⅓" slices
  • ½ cup raw pecans or these maple glazed pecans (leave out the herbs)
  • 2% plain greek yogurt OR ice cream for serving
Instructions
  1. Bring whiskey, butter/oil, sugar, cinnamon and allspice to a boil in a large skillet. Turn the heat off (so as not to ignite the whiskey) and gently stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Return to medium heat and bring to a simmer. At this point I like to ignite the mixture with the burner flame or a grill lighter and watch it dance. It'll die down on it's own but light with care because it's a hefty amount of booze and makes a big flame.
  3. Simmer until the mixture thickens a bit, add bananas and cook until just barely soft, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in pecans.
  4. Let cool then spoon over cups of yogurt.
ENJOY!!!
