How to choose the best bananas for your toast

Appearance

Opt for bananas that are yellow with a few brown spots. Steer clear of bananas that are overly dark or have black spots, as they may be too ripe. Ensure the banana peel is intact and free of cracks.

Texture

Select bananas that are firm yet yield slightly to pressure. Ripe bananas tend to be softer and easier to slice. Avoid overly soft bananas, as they may mush when sliced for toast.

Flavor

Ripe bananas offer sweeter, more robust flavors. Choose sweeter bananas if pairing with salty cheese. Opt for bananas with a milder flavor when using peanut butter.

Light cream cheese vs peanut butter

Picture your recipe receiving a magical infusion of creaminess and flavor… That’s precisely what light cottage cheese and peanut butter can bring!

While not mandatory, as the roasted banana itself offers a natural creaminess that prevents dryness, adding these ingredients elevates the taste experience to new heights.

• Light cottage cheese: A lower-calorie alternative that enhances the toast with delightful richness. Its combination with the toasted banana creates a delectable snack or a comforting supper option.
• Peanut butter: Bursting with healthy fats, it enhances the sweetness of the toast. It’s the ultimate choice to indulge your sweet cravings or fuel up before a workout.

Different types of cheese to use on your banana toast

You can play around with various types of cheese to add a special twist to your recipe. For a healthier option, consider using white cheese, which is known for its lighter profile.

To make your toast even healthier, try swapping out the bread for a slice of whole wheat or whole grain bread.
