Instructions

1. Toast the whole grain bread slice to your desired crispness using a toaster or oven.
2. While the bread is toasting, peel the banana and cut into thin, even slices.
3. Spread the almond (or peanut) butter evenly over the warm toasted bread slice.
4. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on top of the nut butter.
5. Sprinkle the chia seeds evenly over the banana slices.
6. Add a light pinch of ground cinnamon and sea salt flakes to enhance flavor complexity.
7. If desired, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top for extra sweetness.
8. Optionally, sprinkle unsweetened shredded coconut for texture and flavor.
9. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Chef tips

• Use freshly toasted bread for the best texture and warmth that slightly melts the nut butter.
• Substitute any nut butter of your choice such as cashew or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
• If bananas are underripe, microwave them for 10-15 seconds to soften slightly without cooking.
• Add a sprinkle of chopped nuts or seeds for extra crunch and protein.
