Berry Banana Toast Recipe

Prepare and toast the bread

Preheat your toaster or skillet. If using a toaster, set to medium. If using a skillet, heat over medium and add the optional 1 tsp butter or a light brush of olive oil. Toast the 12-grain bread slices until golden and crisp at the edges, about 2–3 minutes per side in a skillet or 2 cycles in a toaster. Remove and place on a cutting board or plate.

Apply almond butter

While the toast is still slightly warm, spread 1.5 tablespoons of almond butter evenly over each slice (total 3 tbs). Use the warmth to slightly soften the almond butter so it becomes easy to spread but avoid overheating so it runs off.

Prepare the banana and strawberries

Peel the banana and slice it into rounds about 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick. Hull and thinly slice the 4 strawberries. Pat the blueberries dry if rinsed.

Assemble fruit on toast

Arrange banana slices across each almond-buttered toast in a single overlapping layer. Distribute the sliced strawberries evenly on top of the banana layer. Scatter the blueberries over both slices for color and texture.

Add honey and seasonings

Drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of local honey over each toast (total 1 tsp). If desired, sprinkle a very light pinch of sea salt flakes and/or a tiny pinch of freshly ground black pepper over the fruit to enhance flavor contrasts.

Serve immediately while the toast is still slightly warm so the almond butter is soft and the honey is lightly runny. Enjoy with coffee or tea.
