Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 15 g reduced salt margarine e.g. canola

  • ⅓ cup low fat Greek yoghurt

Method

  • Heat a barbecue or stove top grill to high heat.
  • Mix together the brown sugar, vanilla and margarine until fully combined.

  • Place the bananas on the grill and barbecue for 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and allow to sit for 5 minutes before removing the foil.
  • Carefully peel away the skin from the bananas, andplace bananas on serving plates, spooning over any melted margarine mixture left in the skins.
  • Sprinkle liberally with macadamias and serve with a spoonful of the low-fat Greek style yoghurt.
