My mom used to give us decadent cinnamon-sprinkled toast, with butter or margarine to make the cinnamon-sugar stick. Now that I'm vegan and needed a butter alternative, I ended up creating this! Still has a dreamy flavor, but won't hurt you or the cows! Ingredients:
2 slices whole wheat bread (use raisin bread for a special treat) |
1 small banana |
2 teaspoons ground flax seeds |
2 teaspoons brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (generous) |
Directions:
1. Mash the banana (easiest with a fork in a shallow bowl) to make the luscious banana butter . Toast the bread.
2. In a jar, combine the flax, sugar and cinnamon and shake till well mixed. You may want to add more sugar- this combo had just the right sweetness for me.
3. Spread some of the mashed banana on each slice of bread, and generously sprinkle each with flaxen-cinnamon sugar.
4. Enjoy with a cold glass of rice or soy milk and a fruit bowl.
