Made with wholesome ingredients like bananas, oats, and coconut flakes, these delights offer a sweet taste without the added sugar. Topped with a dark chocolate glaze and crunchy nuts, they provide the perfect balance of flavor and texture, all while being friendly to your waistline. Here’s how to whip up these healthy treats in just a few minutes.
Ingredients:
For the Tea Delights:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 200 ml milk
- 130 g oat flakes
- 40 g coconut flakes
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- A pinch of salt
For the Glaze:
- 1 tablet of dark chocolate (sugar-free, if preferred)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 100 g roasted peanuts or walnuts, chopped
Directions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs and milk, whisking together until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the oat flakes, coconut flakes, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, mixing until the batter is evenly combined.
- Cook the Delights:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Scoop small portions of the batter onto the skillet, much like you would for pancakes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and firm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Make the Chocolate Glaze:
- Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a small saucepan. Add the butter and melt together over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth.
- Assemble the Delights:
- Once all the delights are cooked, drizzle them with the melted chocolate and butter mixture. Immediately sprinkle the chopped nuts over the glaze, allowing them to stick before it sets.
Serving Suggestions:
- Enjoy Warm or Cold: These tea delights can be served warm right after cooking or stored in the refrigerator for a chilled treat.
- Perfect Pairing: Ideal for serving with a cup of your favorite tea or a freshly brewed coffee.
- Nutritional Boost: These delights are not only delicious but also packed with fiber from the oats and bananas, making them a satisfying snack that won’t leave you feeling heavy.
Tips:
- Banana Ripeness: The riper the bananas, the sweeter your delights will be naturally.
- Nut Variations: Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts like almonds or pecans for varied flavors and textures.
