Make this 1-minute no-cook bowl by topping yogurt with a sliced banana and chocolate-hazelnut spread. It serves one and needs no blender, stove, or microwave. The basic bowl is creamy, sweet, and filling enough for a quick breakfast, snack, or simple dessert. Optional toppings add crunch without slowing the recipe.

Ingredients for one bowl
Use one ripe banana, 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt, and 1 tablespoon chocolate-hazelnut spread. A small pinch of salt can balance the sweetness.
For extra texture, add chopped hazelnuts, granola, cacao nibs, or shredded coconut. Keep toppings to one or two choices so the bowl remains quick and easy to eat.
Assemble it in one minute
Choose a wide cereal bowl so you can mix the ingredients without spilling them. cold chocolate-hazelnut spread can be firm. Small dollops distribute more easily than one large spoonful and do not require heating.
- Spoon the yogurt into the bowl.
- Slice the banana directly over the yogurt.
- Add the chocolate-hazelnut spread in small dollops.
- Sprinkle on salt and any optional toppings.
- Swirl lightly, leaving some banana pieces intact.
Adjust the flavor and texture
For a sweeter bowl, use vanilla yogurt or a very ripe, heavily spotted banana. For less sweetness, choose unsweetened yogurt and start with two teaspoons of chocolate-hazelnut spread. Greek-style yogurt makes a thick bowl, while regular yogurt produces a looser consistency.
For more crunch, add granola or nuts immediately before eating. If the spread tastes too rich, mix half of it into the yogurt and leave the rest on top. A pinch of salt also sharpens the chocolate and banana flavors without adding more sweetness.

Useful substitutions
Dairy-free yogurt works in the same quantity. Choose a thick variety if you want the bowl to hold its toppings rather than become runny. For a nut-free version, replace chocolate-hazelnut spread with a suitable chocolate seed spread or a mixture of seed butter and cocoa.
Check every packaged ingredient label because manufacturing and allergen warnings vary. No yogurt is required. Mash the banana as the base, then add the spread and toppings, though the result will be sweeter, denser, and less creamy.
Make-ahead limits
This bowl is best assembled just before eating because sliced banana softens and browns during storage. For meal prep, portion the yogurt and spread into a covered container, then pack the whole banana separately.
Keep yogurt chilled until serving, especially when transporting it. Slice the banana and add crunchy toppings only when you are ready to eat.
