Caramelized bananas with coconut & macadamia crumble




Serves 2

Ingredients

1 large banana, peeled and cut in half lengthwise and then cut horizontally, you should have 4 short pieces
1 tbsp butter, cold, diced very small
¼ of a cup of macadamia nuts
¼ cup of shredded coconut
Honey/cream to serve as an optional extra

You can use berries, peaches, cooked apple/pear/apricot, cherries, and you can add some cinnamon if you like!

Method

This makes a lot of crumble which I like, if you prefer you can use less of the quantities.

Preheat your grill.

In a pan heat a little butter and cook banana for about 1 minute on each side until golden brown. Place in your oven proof dishes, you can do individual ones, or a big one.

Process your macadamia nuts briefly until mostly fine, you can leave a few chunky pieces if you like. Take out and add you coconut and butter, and using your fingers squish the butter into the nut mix. You still want to see the butter chunks; this doesn’t take long as you already cut the butter into small pieces. Place your crumble mix over your fruit and grill for 5 minutes or so until the top is nicely golden brown. Drizzle over some honey and cream if you want to add a little extra indulgence!
