Tips
Choosing a perfectly ripe banana with a few brown spots on its peel lends a bright and sweet flavour to your breakfast bowl, but if you prefer a subtler, less sweet flavour, you might want to go for a just-ripe banana, mainly yellow, with a hint of green at the ends.
Tips
Experiment with the sizes of the chocolate chunks. Use chocolate shavings, finely chopped chocolate or chocolate chips, or big coarse chunks of chocolate. Or, maybe, a mix.

Simple and classic combination: banana and chocolate topping with crunchy pistachios
The combination of banana and chocolate is simple yet timeless – and universally loved. The sweetness of ripe bananas harmonises beautifully with the rich, indulgent tones of chocolate, creating a delightful taste that resonates in every bite. Then, we take it up a notch with crunchy pistachios. They introduce some texture and a hint of earthiness that cuts through the sweetness and ensures that each mouthful is balanced in both texture and flavour.

Add an extra touch with caramelised banana topping
Looking to add a little wow factor to your topping? Consider caramelising the banana slices. This transforms them from a simple, familiar fruit into a topping that is wonderfully complex in flavour and texture. The process of caramelising in butter and sugar enhances the banana's natural sweetness and gives them a beautiful golden colour, a crispy exterior and a soft, melting interior.
