Roasted Banana


Ingredients
  • 1 banana, peeled
  • Walnuts
  • Cinnamon
  • Chocolate Chips
Instructions
  1. Peel banana and place it on a pan with low to medium heat. 
  2. Roast each side of the banana for 3 minutes. 
  3. Once you've roasted the banana you can place it on a plate. 
  4. Add a handful of chopped walnuts, sprinkle cinnamon and top it off with chocolate chips. You can also get creative and add your favorite ingredients. For example, peanut butter, cocoa powder, ice cream, etc.
I prefer desserts that are simple and easy to make. This is a delicious treat that can be made in minutes. Plus, the best part of it is that it's budget friendly. You probably have all the ingredients in your pantry already. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Dalgona Coffee


Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp hot water
  • 2 tbsp instant coffee
Instructions
  1. Mix sugar, hot water and instant coffee together for 5 minutes until it's a light golden color. I used an electrical mixer but you can use a whisk.
  2. Pour it over ice and almond milk. I added more hot water to my drink so it can combine better.
It's more than I normally do for my morning cup of coffee but it's worth every step. I like making dalgona coffee on special occasions or when I have guests over. It's an easy way to upgrade a normal cup of coffee.
