TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for Nut Butter and Jam Toast:
- Warm bread First: Spreading almond butter on warm toast helps it to soften and blend with the jam.
- Layering Matters: Add the almond butter first so the jam doesn’t soak into the bread.
- Use Natural Nut Butter: Opt for almond butter with no added sugars or oils for a cleaner flavour.
- Choose Wholegrain Bread: It adds extra fibre and sustains energy levels longer.
VARIATIONS
- Nut-Free Version: Use sunflower seed butter for an allergy-friendly alternative.
- Spice It Up: Sprinkle with cinnamon or chia seeds for added nutrition and flavour.
- Fruit Topping: Add sliced banana, strawberries or blueberries for extra texture and vitamins.
- Crunch Factor: Top with crushed nuts or granola for a more indulgent finish.
- Jam Swap: Try chia jam, fig spread or apple butter for a refined-sugar-free twist.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigerator Storage: Assembled toast is best enjoyed fresh but can be wrapped and stored for up to 4 hours in the fridge.
- Make Ahead Option: Prepare all components in advance and assemble just before eating for the best texture.
- Not Suitable For Freezing: Bread and spreads may become soggy upon thawing. For meal prep, toast and pack ingredients separately.
