Notes
For optimal results, select bananas that are ripe yet firm, ensuring they hold their shape during assembly. To elevate the dish, consider using a high-quality, natural peanut butter or exploring alternatives like almond or cashew butter for diverse flavor profiles. The cereal choice is key: a robust granola adds satisfying crunch, while a lightly sweetened flake can offer a delicate contrast. For an extra touch, a light drizzle of melted dark chocolate or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes before serving will enhance both flavor and presentation. Ensure even coating of peanut butter for a balanced bite.
