Akwadu is a caramelized baked banana dish from Equatorial Guinea, which is a good meal for breakfast.
It is a traditional meal made with butter, honey and sugar. The bananas are simply delicious, warm and sweet and would be wonderful for breakfast as well. This simple dish consists of sliced or halved bananas or plantains that are doused in melted butter and shortly baked in the oven until golden. They are usually drizzled with orange and lemon juice, brown sugar, and honey, while the top is typically covered with shredded coconut.
Akwadu has unrefined carbs from the banana and healthy fats from the butter. It’s also high in B vitamins, vitamin A, vitamin C, copper, manganese and potassium. This dish works perfectly for a healthy and simple dessert.
This dish can be served in oatmeal for breakfast which is absolutely delicious. If you want to go the dessert route, you can serve it with a scope of ice cream for a delicious creamy dessert.
