Stuffed French Toast With Almond Butter and Banana

This almond butter and banana stuffed French toast offers a nutritious and satisfying twist on a classic brunch favourite. By using hearty rye or wholegrain bread instead of traditional brioche, the dish gains an earthy depth that pairs perfectly with the sweet, caramelised notes of the fried banana and warm cinnamon. It is a wonderful way to enjoy a decadent-feeling breakfast while incorporating healthy fats and fibre into your morning routine.

As a versatile vegetarian dish, this recipe is ideal for a slow weekend morning or a post-workout recovery meal. The combination of protein from the egg and almond butter ensures you stay full until lunchtime. For a fresh finish, serve with a handful of seasonal berries and a spoonful of tangy Greek yoghurt to balance the richness of the nut butter.

Ingredients for Stuffed French Toast With Almond Butter and Banana

  • 2 slices of rye or wholegrain bread

  • 2 tablespoons almond butter

  • 1/2 banana, thinly sliced

  • 1 free-range egg

  • 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 50ml (about 60ml ) unsweetened almond milk

  • Coconut oil, for frying

  • Fresh berries and Greek yoghurt, to serve (optional)

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.

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.

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.

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