Ingredients

  • 2 slices of fresh sourdough, wholemeal or other bread of your choice (use gluten-free if needed)
  • Layer of nut butter of your choice
  • 1 large banana, sliced
  • 1 tbsp syrup (eg maple or agave)
  • ½-1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread and while you’re waiting, assemble the other ingredients.
  2. Spread a nice, thick layer of nut butter onto each slice of toast.
  3. Place the banana over each slice, so they’re completely covered.
  4. Drizzle maple syrup over each slice.
  5. Sprinkle a fine dusting of cinnamon over both slices so they are completely covered.

Tip: if you’re trying to reduce your sugar then try using yacon syrup instead of maple or agave.

Did you know that the Vegan Recipe Club is run by Viva!, and that we are a charity?

We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.

Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism; but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding. If you already support us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are really making a difference! Please share our details with your friends and loved ones too, as every donation enables us to keep fighting for change.
