Instructions to Make Banana and Coconut Toast Topper
- Start by peeling and slicing the bananas into thin rounds.
- In a non-stick pan, melt the tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted, add the sliced bananas.
- Let them cook for about 2 minutes on each side until they start to caramelize.
- Drizzle the honey over the bananas and sprinkle the cinnamon. Give it a gentle stir to combine.
- Toast the whole grain slices until they’re golden and crispy.
- Once toasted, place them on a plate.
- Layer the caramelized bananas generously over the toast.
- Sprinkle the shredded coconut on top.
- For an added touch of creaminess, dollop a tablespoon of Greek yogurt on each toast.
- Finish off by adding a handful of fresh berries for a tangy contrast and a splash of color.
Pro Tips
- Opt for ripe but firm bananas. They hold their shape better when cooked.
- If you’re vegan, swap the honey for maple syrup and omit the Greek yogurt or use a plant-based alternative.
- For a hint of nuttiness, sprinkle some chia or flaxseeds along with the coconut.
