This is my kids’ go-to breakfast! They love the yummy combination of flavors and that they can make it all by themselves.
If your kids are young, you may need to supervise them using the toaster and slicing the banana. A plastic kid knife can slice through a banana, so start with that if necessary.
Ingredients you need
Ingredient notes and substitutions
- Bread ~ Choose a minimally processed whole grain bread with plenty of fiber. Sprouted whole grain or 100% whole wheat are my go-to grocery store options. Or try my easy homemade molasses oatmeal bread, which would be absolutely delicious with these toppings!
I like Ezekiel Sprouted Whole Grain bread. They also have gluten-free and low sodium options.
Pro tip: if you can’t find it the bread aisle, check the freezer section! Your local bakery likely has some healthy whole grain options, as well. - Nut Butter ~ I love almond butter. My kids love peanut butter. Look for a nut butter that is just ground nuts and maybe a bit of salt. I always choose organic for nut butters, especially peanut butter, because peanuts are a very heavily sprayed crop.
When you buy natural nut butter, the natural oils will rise to the top and separate. This is normal. Simply stir it all back together and then store in the fridge to keep it from separating again.
Need a nut-free option? Sunflower seed butter is a great choice! Or my sweet pumpkin hummus!
If you’re feeling indulgent, try my homemade cashew cookie butter made from cashews and gingerbread spices! - Bananas ~ The greener the banana, the more resistant starch it contains which will help keep you feeling full longer. It will also have a lower sugar content. Personally, I like a just ripe banana (mostly yellow, maybe a tiny bit of green left, and not many brown spots) for snacking or slicing for toast.
Don’t love bananas? Apples, pears, or fresh berries are all delicious on this almond butter toast, too! - Hemp Seeds ~ I love the crunch they provide.
If you don’t have hemp seeds, you could use raw pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds. - Extras ~ I often sprinkle some cinnamon on top. If I’m feeling generous, I’ll drizzle a bit of pure maple syrup on it for my kids. A sprinkle of chocolate chips would be a great idea, too!
