Almond Butter & Banana Toast is the ultimate quick-fix for breakfast or a mid-day snack. This recipe combines the creamy richness of almond butter with the natural sweetness of bananas, giving you a delicious energy boost that feels indulgent yet wholesome.
Whole grain bread is the foundation, offering fiber and texture. Choose a bread that's hearty to support the toppings. Almond butter adds a creamy, nutty flavor and healthy fats. Make sure to stir well if it's separated. The star, banana, brings natural sweetness and a creamy texture. Optional honey adds a touch more sweetness and a glossy finish. A sprinkle of cinnamon can elevate the flavor, adding warmth and depth.
Start by toasting the whole grain bread. You want it golden and crisp, which provides a nice contrast to the creamy toppings. While the bread is toasting, give the almond butter a good stir, especially if it’s the natural kind that separates. Once the bread is ready, spread about a tablespoon of almond butter on each slice, aiming for an even layer that covers the whole surface.
Next, grab a banana and peel it. Slice it into thin rounds, about a quarter-inch thick should do the trick. This thickness balances the creaminess of the almond butter without overpowering it. Layer the banana slices over the almond butter, covering the toast as evenly as possible.
If you're in the mood for a little extra sweetness, drizzle a teaspoon of honey over the top. And if you’d like to add a bit of warmth, sprinkle a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon over everything. Serve the toast immediately, while it’s still nice and warm.
Pair this toast with a side of Greek yogurt for extra protein. If you're enjoying it as a breakfast, a handful of fresh berries on the side can add a refreshing contrast. This toast also works well with a glass of almond milk or herbal tea, enhancing the nutty flavors.
