Do you know what day tomorrow is?It’s National Banana Lover’s Day! Seeing as I haven’t done a theme post in almost two months, I figured this was the perfect occasion to showcase my love for the fruit oft referred to as “nature’s candy bar.” Got extra bananas on hand? Here are 18 healthy banana recipes to use them up:

Ingredients
- 2 bananas
- yogurt of choice - I like nondairy coconut yogurt
- granola of choice OR Healthy Graham Crackers
- mini chocolate chips, coconut shreds, cinnamon sugar, etc.
- popsicle sticks or silverware to insert in the bananas
Instructions
Pour granola or crushed crackers into a very shallow dish or plate. Peel the bananas, cut them in half, and insert popsicle sticks. Dip into the yogurt or coat with a knife, then roll into the granola or cracker crumbs and add-ons. I stuck the chips on by hand after rolling in the granola. Place on a parchment or wax-lined tray. Freeze. Keep uneaten banana pops in the freezer.
Will you celebrate Banana Lover’s day?
Or are you one of those people who absolutely HATES bananas? It seems like a polarizing food: people either love bananas or hate them. For all of the banana haters out there, rest assured tomorrow’s recipe will have nothing to do with bananas. But it might include chocolate chips. You don’t have a problem with them, right? 😉

Can vegetarians eat bananas? These recipes look nice, great work Katie!
I am doing a series on single portion microwave recipes. I have plenty of banana left over at home and your post on single portion banana muffin / bread is a savior 🙂 Cheers! Great blog and wonderful pics. Been looking at this all day at work 😉
I found the healthy banana recipes a great gift for the banana lovers and I enjoyed reading.
Our favorite isn’t on here that is mostly sweetened with bananas- oatmeal breakfast cupcakes. We make them at least twice a month and put extras in the freezer. We also love the soft serve. I think the peanut butter pie is next. 🙂
Healthy recipes but not low carb with all the bananas. There aresome places where I think cream cheese might be better.
Wow! Which to choose from…they all look delicious!!! How do you stay so thin?! lol!
Wow, all of these look amazing. I have been looking for a healthy banana bread recipe for ages, so I really want to try all of these now. Thank you for sharing!
