Banoffee is an English pie that has conquered the world with its irresistible combination of banana, dulce de leche, and whipped cream. We know the original version is a calorie bomb. Fortunately, we have created the Fit Banoffee in a Glass, an intelligent reinvention made in individual portions that replaces traditional dulce de leche with a “date or prune dulce de leche” (or zero-sugar dulce de leche) and the cream with a light Greek yogurt cream.
The visual result is beautiful, and the flavor will leave everyone at the table amazed!

The Game of Healthy Textures
The assembly in glasses allows you to alternate a crunchy base of oats and cinnamon, the creaminess of the healthy sweet, the freshness of sliced bananas, and the lightness of the dairy topping. Each spoonful combines all these sensations.
Carefully Selected Ingredients
- For the Crunchy Base:
- 4 tablespoons of oat bran or toasted sliced almonds
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- For the Fit “Dulce de Leche”:
- 10 pitted dried dates (soaked in hot water for 15 minutes)
- 2 tablespoons of coconut milk or soaking water
- 1 pinch of salt (for the salted caramel touch). Note: If you prefer convenience, you can use store-bought zero-sugar dulce de leche.
- For the Layers and Topping:
- 2 medium bananas, sliced
- 1 pot of plain, non-fat Greek yogurt sweetened with a few drops of stevia
- Cocoa powder for dusting at the end
Preparation Method: As Simple As It Should Be
- Step 1: Making the Base and Caramel In a non-stick frying pan, place the oat bran (or almonds) with cinnamon and stir over low heat for 2 minutes until aromatic and slightly toasted. Set aside. For the date dulce de leche, drain the dates (save the water) and place them in a food processor or blender with the coconut milk and the pinch of salt. Blend until it forms a smooth, thick cream similar to caramel. Add spoonfuls of the soaking water if necessary.
- Step 2: Charming Assembly in Glasses Take 2 or 3 nice glass bowls. Make the first layer at the bottom with the toasted oat and cinnamon mixture. Add a generous layer of the date sweet on top. Distribute the banana slices over the sweet, filling the sides of the glass well.
- Step 3: The Final Touch Cover the bananas with the sweetened Greek yogurt, smoothing the surface. Using a small sieve, dust cocoa powder over everything to mimic the classic finish. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving so it is nice and fresh.
Conclusion
The Fit Banoffee in a Glass proves that no classic of world pastry is out of reach for a healthy life. By using the natural, fiber-rich sweetness of dates and bananas, we completely eliminate the need for industrial sugars, while Greek yogurt acts as a perfect, protein-packed substitute for heavy cream. It is a magnificent dessert, full of good energy, ideal for a luxury pre-workout or to impress the family at a Sunday lunch. Indulge in this delight without any guilt!
