INSTRUCTIONS
How to Make Ultimate Banana Toast Recipe
STEP ONE: Prepare the Ingredients
First, you will need to gather all of your ingredients and have them ready. I like to gather my measuring spoons ahead of time, too.
STEP TWO: Toast the Bread
Next, toast two slices of bread until it is slightly browned. You can use your oven if the slices are too large for a toaster.
STEP THREE: Assemble and Serve
Finally, spread honey almond butter on both slices, followed by sliced bananas, almonds, coconut, and chia seeds.
SUBSTITUTIONS
- Nuts - Choose your favorite crunchy variety. We like the sliced almonds because there's no need for additional crushing.
- Nut Butter - Natural peanut butter would make a great alternative for peanut butter banana toast.
- Coconut - We also like coconut flakes and large chips. Other dried fruits may work well.
- Bread - Use whole wheat bread, sprouted multigrain, or your favorite gluten free variety.
VARIATIONS
- Flavor - Feeling chocolatey? Try Nutella toast! We love pairing strawberries with this delicious hazelnut spread.
- Add-ins - For additional toppings, try a dash of cinnamon or brown sugar. You could also sprinkle on a handful of granola.
- Breakfast alternative - If you're not feeling "toasty," these toppings go very well on overnight oats or your favorite banana French toast recipe.

STORAGE
Banana toast is best enjoyed immediately after preparation to maintain its optimal texture. However, if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. Reheat the toast in a toaster or toaster oven before serving.
Note: Refer to Top Tips below for more storage and reheating tips.
Top Tips
Nuts, seeds, and dried fruit store well in the freezer. If you use them often, seal them in a mason jar and keep them in the door of the freezer so they are readily accessible.
The sweetness and flavor of bananas intensify as they ripen, so ripe bananas are perfect for this recipe.
Don't be afraid to experiment and get creative with your toppings. Add a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a handful of your favorite chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
Enjoy your banana toast while it's still warm and the almond butter is slightly melted. It enhances the overall experience.
