Stir for 10 seconds, then turn the banana slices carefully and stir for about a minute more. Your caramelized bananas are ready. Add a scoop of yogurt and gobble up.
Almond trail mix
Preheat your oven to 150°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, and six tablespoons of maple syrup in a bowl. Spread the nuts and seeds on the baking sheet and add some salt. Bake until they are golden, stirring several times in between. Remove them from the oven and cool them. Add cherries and relish.
Vegetables with hummus
Take one cup of chickpeas, three cloves of garlic, two tablespoons of sesame seed paste, two tablespoons of lemon juice, two tablespoons of olive oil, one teaspoon of cumin powder, and a pinch of paprika. Combine all ingredients and grind in a mixer until smooth and creamy. Transfer into a bowl, drizzle olive oil and paprika, and dip in carrot and cucumber slices.
