Butter & Sugarless Bananas Foster...yes, you read that right...read on my friends!

Growing up this was my all time favorite dessert. The sweet warm syrup with hunks of bananas over top ice cream was out of this world. However, like anything else, with some creativity I recreated that same downright perfect dessert & made it a healthier alternative!

Okay, so with my version there are no flames and such, but who needs that fire hazard anyway, right? I promise you will go bananas over this one. My kids love this treat & it couldn't be simpler, easier or quicker to make. It is even good over fat free Greek yogurt! Cha-ching!

3-4 Large Bananas (slice in half then into several large sections)
1 cup Vanilla Almond Milk
1 tablespoon honey or agave (* vegans use agave)
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla good organic extract
1 teaspoon corn starch

Place sliced bananas in a warm non-stick skillet. In a mixing cup whisk together almond milk, vanilla, cinnamon & honey. Pour over bananas & turn up heat. Once warm, sprinkle corn starch over banana mixture & bring to a soft boil. Gently stir. Allow to boil for a minute, then turn off heat. This whole process should take 2 minutes or so.

Serve over top low fat/fat free ice cream or frozen yogurt, vegan coconut ice cream, or even Greek yogurt...Enjoy (because I know you will)!!!
