Cinnamon Bananas

Written by: Jeanette Blandford | Published on May 28, 2025

A warm, lightly caramelised cinnamon banana that turns an everyday fruit into a cosy breakfast — soft enough for new eaters and lovely with a dollop of yoghurt.

A simple, delicious upgrade to plain banana for a warm winter breakfast.
