TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for Almond Butter Toast With Hemp Seeds:
- Use Ripe Banana: A ripe banana provides natural sweetness and creaminess.
- Warm Toast Enhances Flavour: Spreading almond butter on warm toast allows it to melt slightly, which creates a more decadent texture.
- Slice Banana Thinly: Thin slices ensure every bite includes all layers.
- Choose Sprouted Bread: For enhanced nutrition and digestibility, opt for sprouted grain bread.
- Add Just Before Serving: Apply toppings just before eating to maintain freshness and prevent sogginess.
VARIATIONS
- Nut-Free Option: Swap almond butter for sunflower seed butter or tahini.
- Add Fresh Berries: Add blueberries, raspberries or strawberries for a burst of colour and antioxidants.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon: A dash of cinnamon can add warmth and enhance sweetness without added sugar.
- Use Different Seeds: Try chia, flax or pumpkin seeds as alternatives to hemp for added variety.
- Sweeten Naturally: Drizzle a small amount of maple syrup or date syrup for a touch of extra sweetness.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Best Served Fresh: This toast is best eaten immediately to maintain texture and flavour.
- Not Suitable For Freezing: Freezing is not recommended as the toast will lose its crispness and structure.
- Prep Ingredients Ahead: Slice bananas and store them in an airtight container for up to one day to save time.
- Portable Option: Prepare just before leaving and wrap in parchment paper for an on-the-go snack.
- Reheat Toast If Needed: If you prepare the base in advance, re-toast the bread lightly before assembling.
