I’d like to introduce you to my friend, Kate, from Kate Flower Food. Kate is a cookbook author, recipe developer and food stylist with a lifetime of experience in the Western Australian food industry.

Kate’s creativity in the kitchen is unmatched, bringing inspiration and passion to every dish she creates. Perhaps you might be familiar with her recipes, or spotted a few we have shared before on our Instagram or blog, such as our ‘Marinated Chicken with Pikant Dip Mix’ or ‘The Perfect Scandi Breakfast’.

Renowned for her innovative and mouth-watering recipes and images to match, Kate loves to use local Western Australian produce. And… I think Kate has a special knack for turning the simplest of ingredients into approachable yet elevated meals for all occasions, including decadent desserts.

Kate’s expertise and love for food shines through - just like this recipe I am sharing below, which was created by Kate… of course!

You say pilaf, I say dessert

Kate calls this banana and Greek yoghurt dessert a ‘pilaf’, which can be described as a layered dish.

Now, I think Kate was onto something when she created this. Although it might be a dessert, I think this delicious, decadent and creamy dish could actually be enjoyed anytime of the day really, it is that versatile. Breakfast? Why not! Brunch? Absolutely! An afternoon snack? Sure! A dessert? Of course!

This delicious dessert is made with just six ingredients, most, if not all, I am guessing you’ll already have in your kitchen. Featuring Mette is Baking crackers, Greek yoghurt, bananas and honey, not only does this dessert taste decadent, but the mix of sweet versus salty with the added crunch of our crackers and the creamy richness of Greek yoghurt is simply irresistible.

Simple to make and full of wholesome ingredients, it’s the perfect example of how healthy eating can be both easy and indulgent. Plus, it can be made gluten free, by simply using Mette is Baking gluten free Nordic crackers. Treat your family by adding this recipe to your weekly repertoire.

You’ll want to try this Banana and Greek Yoghurt Pilaf at home - trust me!

1 x pack of Mette is Baking Nordic Crackers (Traditional or Gluten Free) crushed into small pieces, a mix of sizes from crumbs up to half a centimetre
4 tsp brown sugar
