Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to my absolute favorite midnight craving crusher – the Nutella-Stuffed Banana Boat with a healthy twist! Trust me, this isn’t your basic late-night snack; it’s that perfect blend of “I’m being somewhat responsible” and “OMG, this is heaven!”
You know those nights when you’re binge-watching your favorite show, and suddenly your stomach starts having a whole conversation with you? Yeah, we’ve all been there! This recipe is my go-to solution that won’t leave you feeling guilty the next morning.
Here’s what you’ll need (I promise it’s super simple):
– 1 ripe banana (those spotty ones are perfect!)
– 1 tablespoon Nutella
– A handful of crushed almonds
– A sprinkle of chia seeds
– A tiny drizzle of honey
– Optional: a pinch of sea salt (because why not be fancy at midnight?)
Now, let me walk you through this magical creation:
1. Cut your banana lengthwise, but don’t slice all the way through – we’re making a little boat here, not a banana split!
2. Gently open it up (like you’re opening a hot dog bun, but make it bougie)
3. Warm up that Nutella for about 10 seconds – it should be just spreadable enough to make your life easier
4. Spread the Nutella inside your banana boat (don’t be shy, but remember we’re being somewhat healthy here 😉)
5. Sprinkle those crushed almonds and chia seeds
6. Add that tiny drizzle of honey
7. If you’re feeling extra, add that pinch of sea salt
Girl, let me tell you – this snack is literally everything! The banana gives you those good carbs and potassium, the almonds provide protein and healthy fats, and the chia seeds are packed with omega-3s. Plus, that little bit of Nutella satisfies your chocolate craving without going overboard.

Pro tip: If you’re really trying to be healthy, you can swap the Nutella for almond butter, but honestly, life’s too short to skip the Nutella completely, am I right?
