Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 slice of whole grain bread
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 banana, sliced
- Honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 slice of whole grain bread, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1 banana, honey or maple syrup (if desired), and cinnamon (if desired).
- Toast the slice of whole grain bread to your preferred level of crispiness. This step is optional, as you can also enjoy the bread untoasted.
- While the bread is toasting, peel the banana and slice it into thin rounds. Aim for about 1/4-inch thick slices for the best texture.
- Once the bread is toasted, spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter evenly over the surface of the warm slice. Make sure to cover the bread from edge to edge for a delicious bite every time.
- Arrange the banana slices on top of the peanut butter. You can place them in a single layer or stack them for a more generous topping.
- If you like, drizzle a small amount of honey or maple syrup over the banana slices for added sweetness. This is optional but can enhance the flavor.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the top. This adds a warm spice that complements the peanut butter and banana beautifully.
- Your Peanut Butter Banana Toast is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Tips
- Bread Selection: Choose a high-quality whole grain bread for added nutrition and a heartier texture. Slightly stale bread can actually work better for toasting.
- Peanut Butter Perfection: Use room temperature peanut butter for easier spreading. Natural or creamy varieties both work wonderfully.
- Banana Slicing Hack: For uniform and attractive slices, use a sharp knife and slice the banana at a slight diagonal angle.
- Temperature Matters: Toast the bread until it's golden brown but not burnt. The warmth helps the peanut butter melt slightly, creating a more luxurious texture.
- Flavor Boosters: Experiment with different toppings like chia seeds, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt to elevate the basic recipe.
- Make It Ahead: While best enjoyed fresh, you can prep the ingredients the night before for a super quick morning meal.
