Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dates
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 150 ml orange juice
- 100 ml water
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 50 grams chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Pit the dates and chop them into small pieces. Slice the bananas into thick rounds.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the orange juice, water, and honey over medium heat. Stir until the honey dissolves completely.
Add the chopped dates to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the dates soften and begin to break down.
Stir in the cinnamon and vanilla extract, mixing well to incorporate the spices.
Gently add the banana slices to the saucepan and cook for another 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together. Be careful not to over-stir to avoid breaking the banana slices.
If using, sprinkle the chopped walnuts into the mixture and stir lightly.
Remove the compote from the heat and let it cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature as a topping for yogurt, pancakes, or simply on its own.
