Ingredients
- 2 slices of fresh sourdough, wholemeal or other bread of your choice (use gluten-free if needed)
- Layer of nut butter of your choice
- 1 large banana, sliced
- 1 tbsp syrup (eg maple or agave)
- ½-1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Toast the bread and while you’re waiting, assemble the other ingredients.
- Spread a nice, thick layer of nut butter onto each slice of toast.
- Place the banana over each slice, so they’re completely covered.
- Drizzle maple syrup over each slice.
- Sprinkle a fine dusting of cinnamon over both slices so they are completely covered.
Tip: if you’re trying to reduce your sugar then try using yacon syrup instead of maple or agave.
