Ingredients
  

For the Toast Base
  • 2 slices whole wheat or sourdough bread large
For the Protein Spread
  • 1 scoop protein powder vanilla or unflavored
  • 2 tbsp milk unsweetened, dairy or non-dairy
  • 1 tsp maple syrup pure
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon ground, optional
For the Topping

  • 1 tsp maple syrup pure, for drizzling, optional
  • 1 tbsp almond butter creamy, optional

Equipment

  • Toaster
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Knife
  • Measuring Spoons

Method
 

Prepare the Toast
  1. Toast the bread slices to your desired crispness using a toaster or air fryer. While the bread toasts, prepare the protein spread and banana.
Make the Protein Spread
  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, milk, 1 teaspoon of maple syrup, and optional cinnamon. Whisk well until a smooth, thick, spreadable paste forms. If it's too thick, add a tiny bit more milk (1/2 teaspoon at a time) until it reaches your desired consistency.
Prepare Banana
  1. Slice the ripe banana into thin, even rounds.
Assemble the Toast
  1. Once the toast is ready, immediately spread half of the protein mixture evenly over each slice of warm toast.
  2. Arrange the sliced banana rounds on top of the protein spread on both slices of toast.
Serve
  1. Optionally, drizzle an extra 1 teaspoon of maple syrup over the banana slices and/or add a dollop of almond butter for added flavor and healthy fats. Serve immediately and enjoy your Protein Maple Banana Toast!

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different protein powder flavors like chocolate or peanut butter. For an extra crunch, sprinkle some chia seeds or chopped nuts on top. If using an air fryer for toast, cook at 350°F (175°C) for 4-6 minutes, flipping halfway, or until golden brown. This recipe is best enjoyed fresh.
