Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 1

Ingredients

2 slices of rye or wholegrain bread
2 tbsp almond butter
1/2 banana, thinly sliced
1 free-range egg
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
50ml (about 1/4 cup) unsweetened almond milk
Coconut oil, for frying
Fresh berries and Greek yogurt, to serve (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Slice the bread into halves and layer up the bottom halves with your almond butter and banana slices, then sandwich together with the top half.

    Step 2

    In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, cinnamon and almond milk until fully combined, then soak both sides of your sandwiches until well coated and moist.

    Step 3

    Heat a little coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan then gently lay your sandwiches in to fry for about 4 minutes on each side.

    Step 4

    Plate up and top with fresh berries and a tablespoon of Greek yogurt, if you like.
