5 Days of Sweet Toasties – Day 2: Cherry, Banana and Peanut Butter Toastie

Welcome to Day 2 of my Sweet Toastie Series! I’ll be adding a new Toastie idea each day this week.  Check out yesterday’s Cream Cheese, Nectarine and Honey creation!

Today’s flavour combination was invented by my 4 year old son – Lewis.  He’s a big peanut butter fan.  When I presented him with peanut butter on toast and a bowl of sliced fruit a couple of weeks ago, he proceeded to make his own toasted sandwich, and was very proud of himself 🙂

Personally I’m not such a big peanut butter fan.  In fact I can’t stand the stuff in it’s normal form.  Using it for cookies or satay or peanut chicken – well that’s a completely different story.  On toast though? no thanks.  Of course, I did show willing for my little boy’s sake, and took a bite, declaring it a masterpiece.  The cherry and banana did go together very well, and really helped to lighten the whole thing.  It’s actually got me thinking about making my own nut butter for another toastie later this week……

Cherry, Banana and Peanut Butter Toastie (Serves 1)
Ingredients:

• 2 slices of thick cut bread
• 2 tbsp peanut butter
• 1 ripe banana, cut into slices
• 5 or 6 fresh ripe cherries, de-stoned and cut into slices

Method:

1. Toast your bread until nicely browned.  Slice each piece in half, then spread two of the halves with the peanut butter.  Place the banana slices on top, followed by the cherry slices.  Place the remaining half slices of toast on top, squash every thing down a bit so the peanut butter squidges out (be careful, the banana slices have a tendency to fly out at this point) and enjoy!
