Fig Jam recipe

If you’re looking for a healthy snack that’s sweet, delicious and super easy to make, this recipe is perfect for you. It only takes 5 minutes to make and is a great way of using up overripe bananas. You could enjoy this as a sweet, delicious breakfast with Greek yoghurt or serve with banana ice cream and fresh fruit for a super healthy dessert. It’s crispy and caramelised on the outside and deliciously soft on the inside. For this recipe it’s best to use overripe bananas as they taste sweeter.

All I had to do was make a few hours ahead for it to set and be done. But I must admit, this new adaption, using Almond four taste even better!

For those of us who cannot really chew in the morning, but still need some intake with nutritional value and the awakening effect of coffee - a breakfast which helps you and yours to make it through the day. Sour cream and heavy whipping cream instead of milk is handy, as they last longer in the fridge, and for the bananas you can also take those which are already brown.
