Ingredients (use vegan versions):

  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup coconut milk or light coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds
  • vegan maple syrup

Directions:

This recipe couldn’t be easier, and it’s
one of my favorite breakfasts. I used
to make it with honey, and the milk and
honey connection gave me the idea for
its name. But it’s just as good with
vegan maple syrup.

Combine the sliced banana and coconut
milk in a bowl. Top with chopped nuts
and drizzle with vegan maple syrup. Adjust
amounts to your liking.

Serves: 1

Preparation time: 5 minutes
