Yoghurt parfait

Try this simple dessert when you want to get the kids to eat more fruit without nagging! Layer up pretty glasses with yoghurt and grapes for a colourful dessert that will see them begging for more.

Banana slice

This recipe for banana slice is much like banana bread but made into a slice. This makes it perfect for lunchboxes, cake stalls and school fairs.

Banana custard pie

This lovely pie combines homemade custard with fresh bananas and a jam glaze that goes perfectly with a crisp shortcrust pastry shell. Easy to make and a kid-favourite too!

Bananas foster

This simple dessert is made by cooking bananas until they're soft in a buttery cinnamon syrup with rum. The alcohol is burned off during cooking so they're safe for kids to enjoy too. Serve with a scoop of ice cream.

Fruit skewers

Let the kids loose on this one as they choose their favourite fruit to thread on to skewers. Dip them in yoghurt and then roll in coconut, chocolate (or both!) for a fun and fruity treat

Banana muffins

Banana muffins are an easy addition to any lunch box with very little extra sugar added - and you could add choc chips, macadamias or pecans to the mixture for variation.
