Ingredients
- 4 slices gluten-free bread
- 4 tbsp almond butter
- 1 medium banana
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds or hemp seeds (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Begin by toasting your gluten-free bread slices until they are golden brown and slightly crisp. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes in a toaster or under a broiler, depending on your preference for crunch.
- 2
While the bread is toasting, thinly slice the banana. Aim for slices that are about 1/4 inch thick, ensuring a good balance of fruit to bread.
- 3
Once the gluten-free bread is toasted to perfection, spread a generous tablespoon of almond butter evenly over each slice. Ensure the almond butter reaches the edges for maximum flavor in every bite.
- 4
Arrange the banana slices attractively over the almond butter on each toast. If you desire extra sweetness, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over the banana slices now.
- 5
For added texture and nutrients, sprinkle chia seeds or hemp seeds over the top of each toast, if using. Serve immediately and enjoy this simple yet delicious breakfast.

Tips & Notes
- Softened butter should hold a fingerprint but not be greasy — if it melts on touch, it's too warm for creaming.
- Freeze overripe bananas in their peel; thaw on the counter and squeeze out the pulp for perfectly soft mash.
- Honey is sweeter than sugar — if substituting, use 3/4 cup honey per 1 cup sugar and reduce liquid by 1/4 cup.
