Ingredients
Scale
Toast
- 1 piece sourdough bread (substitute with bread of choice)
Spread & Toppings
- 1–2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 slices banana
- 1 teaspoon bee pollen (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh chopped mint (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Start by taking one piece of sourdough bread or your bread of choice and laying it flat on a clean surface for easy spreading.
- Spread Tahini: Evenly spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of tahini over the surface of the bread, making sure to coat it well for a creamy base layer.
- Add Banana Slices: Arrange 6 slices of banana evenly on top of the tahini spread to create a naturally sweet and smooth topping.
- Drizzle Honey and Sprinkle Cinnamon: Drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey over the banana layers, then lightly dust with 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon for a touch of warmth and spice.
- Add Optional Toppings: For an extra burst of flavor and nutrients, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of bee pollen and 1/4 teaspoon of fresh chopped mint on top, if desired.
- Air Fry the Toast: Place the prepared bread in an air fryer basket and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 6 to 7 minutes, until the bread is crisp and the toppings are warmed through.
- Alternative Oven Method: If you do not have an air fryer, place the toast on a lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes until crisp.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the toast carefully from the air fryer or oven, let it cool slightly, then enjoy this deliciously sweet and nutty treat immediately.
Notes
- Use any bread you prefer; whole grain or gluten-free bread can be good alternatives.
- Bee pollen and fresh mint are optional but recommended for added flavor and nutrition.
- Adjust the amount of honey depending on your desired level of sweetness.
- If bananas are very ripe, reduce the cooking time slightly to prevent over-softening.
- Store leftover tahini spread separately; assemble and air fry fresh for best texture.
