Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1–2 slices of bread (whole grain, sourdough, or your favorite)
  • 2–3 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 1 ripe banana (yellow with a few freckles)
  • Pinch of salt (optional but recommended)
  • Drizzle of honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Cinnamon (optional, a light sprinkle)
  • Chia or flax seeds (optional, for texture and nutrition)

Method
 

  1. Toast the bread to your preferred level of crispness. A medium-dark toast holds up best under spreads and toppings.
  2. Slice the banana into coins about 1/4 inch thick. Too thin and they slide around; too thick and they overwhelm the bite.
  3. Spread the peanut butter on the hot toast. The heat helps it melt slightly, giving you a smooth, even layer.
  4. Layer the banana slices over the peanut butter. Arrange them in a single layer so every bite has a good balance.
  5. Add a pinch of salt to wake up the flavors. If your peanut butter is salted, use less or skip it.
  6. Finish with optional toppings: a light drizzle of honey or maple syrup, a dusting of cinnamon, and a sprinkle of chia or flax for crunch.
  7. Serve right away while the toast is still crisp and the peanut butter is soft.
