Bananas Foster Yogurt Bowl
Bananas Foster Yogurt Bowl
Bananas Foster is the kind of dessert that sounds like a project. It isn’t.
The whole thing comes together in one pan in about five minutes—coconut sugar and coconut oil caramelize quickly, the bananas go in cut-side down and come out golden and glossy, and the vanilla and rum turn the whole thing into a sauce that smells like a restaurant dessert. The trick is what’s underneath.
Oolie’s Banana Cream Yogurt serves as the base—cold, thick, and creamy, standing in for the vanilla ice cream without the dairy or the guilt. The contrast of warm caramelized banana over cold yogurt is genuinely stunning, and the whole bowl comes together before anyone has time to second-guess dessert on a Tuesday.
It’s a treat that feels indulgent without being heavy—and it’s dairy-free, made with ingredients you already have, and ready in under 10 minutes.

Ingredients
- 2 Cups Oolie Banana Cream Yogurt
- 2 Small ripe bananas, sliced into coins
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp dark rum (optional)
- GF Cookie crumbles of choice, to top
- Pinch of flaky salt
Instructions
Set up the yogurt base: Divide the Oolie Banana Cream Yogurt evenly between two bowls and spread into a thick base. Place in the fridge to stay cold while you make the bananas.
Start the caramel: Melt coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add coconut sugar and cinnamon and stir together for about 30 seconds until bubbling and fragrant.
Caramelize the bananas: Add the banana coins in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 1–2 minutes until deeply golden on the bottom. Gently flip and cook 1 minute more.
Finish the sauce: Add vanilla extract and rum if using. Swirl the pan gently for 30 seconds to combine into a glossy sauce. Remove from heat.
Assemble and serve: Pull the cold yogurt bowls from the fridge. Spoon the warm bananas and pan sauce over the top. Finish with GF cookie crumbles, and a pinch of flaky salt. Serve immediately.
