Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 3 ripe bananas
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 cup low-fat milk
• 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons apricot jam
• 1 tablespoon warm water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the whole wheat flour with the cold unsalted butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add plain Greek yogurt and cold water to the flour mixture. Stir until the dough begins to come together.

Step 4

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Place the crust in the pan and press it down evenly along the bottom and up the sides.

Step 5

Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling. Place a sheet of parchment paper over the crust and fill with pie weights or dry beans. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Step 6

While the crust is baking, slice the bananas into thin rounds.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, then toss the banana slices gently in the mixture. Set aside.

Step 8

In a saucepan, whisk cornstarch and low-fat milk together. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, stirring constantly, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the crust from the oven and let cool slightly. Remove parchment paper and weights.

Step 10

Pour the thickened milk mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 11

Carefully arrange the banana slices atop the milk filling.

Step 12

In a small bowl, mix apricot jam with warm water. Brush the mixture over the bananas to create a shiny glaze.

Step 13

Sprinkle a touch of cinnamon over the top for added flavor.

Step 14

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for another 10-15 minutes, or until the bananas are slightly caramelized.

Step 15

Let the tart cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy your light and delicious low-fat banana tart!
