Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 piece sourdough or bread of choice
- 6 slices banana
- 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) tahini
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) honey
- 1/8 teaspoon (0.6 ml) cinnamon
Optional Toppings:
- 1 teaspoon bee pollen
- ¼ teaspoon fresh chopped mint
Instructions
- Generously coat a slice of bread with a smooth layer of rich, creamy tahini, ensuring complete coverage from edge to edge.
- Arrange ripe banana slices in an overlapping pattern across the tahini-covered surface, creating an appealing and even distribution.
- Elegantly drizzle golden honey in a zigzag or circular motion, allowing it to cascade over the banana slices and bread.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly across the toast, creating a light, aromatic dusting that enhances the flavor profile.
- Place the prepared toast in the air fryer basket, setting the temperature to 400°F (204°C) and cooking for 6-7 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and crispy.
- For those without an air fryer, preheat a conventional oven to 400°F (204°C), line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and bake the toast for 10 minutes until achieving a similar crisp texture.
- Remove from the air fryer or oven, let cool for a moment, and serve immediately to enjoy the warm, caramelized flavors and contrasting textures.
Notes
- Ensure your tahini is well-mixed before spreading for a smooth, creamy texture.
- Choose ripe bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness and easier slicing.
- Adjust honey quantity based on personal preference for sweetness level.
- Experiment with different bread types like sourdough or whole grain for varied flavors.
- Sprinkle extra cinnamon or add chopped nuts for additional crunch and depth.
- Check toast midway through cooking to prevent burning, as air fryer temperatures can vary.
