Protein Banana Toast

Ingredients

• 1 Rye bread (One slice, approximately 62 g)
• 1 Banana (Approximately 80 g; halved lengthwise and then cut into slices that are not too thin)
• 15 g 100% peanut butter
• 80 g 0% Greek yogurt
• 15 g Vanilla whey protein (100% Real Whey protein, vanilla flavor)
• 5 g Desiccated coconut
• 5 g Erythritol and stevia blend (Divide the blend: use one part for the banana and the rest for the cream)
• 2 g Ground cinnamon (Divide together with the sweetener between the banana and the cream)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C. Halve the banana lengthwise, then cut it into slices that are not too thin. Arrange the slices, spread out, on a small baking tray or parchment paper, then sprinkle them with some of the erythritol, stevia, and cinnamon blend.

2. 2

   Cook the banana in the air fryer at 180 °C for approximately 5–8 minutes, checking it toward the end. It should be warm, softened, and slightly golden or caramelized, depending on the desired level of doneness.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, toast the rye bread until crisp on the outside, keeping it warm for assembly.

4. 4

   Prepare the cream in a bowl: add the Greek yogurt, vanilla whey protein, desiccated coconut, and the remaining erythritol, stevia, and cinnamon blend.

5. 5

   Mix thoroughly until smooth and fairly thick. The consistency should be firm enough to stay on the toast without running.

6. 6

   Spread the peanut butter over the still-warm toast. For a more decorative effect, you can drizzle it over the cream instead of spreading it directly on the bread.

7. 7

   Add the yogurt and whey cream, spreading it in an even layer over the peanut butter.

8. 8

   Top the toast with the still-warm caramelized banana slices and serve immediately.
