Toast with Nut Butter & Berry Sauce
TOAST INGREDIENTS
1 slice of toast - I love Ezekiel Cinnamon Raisin Toast/English Muffin or a good sourdough
1-2 tablespoons of nut/seed butter - I’m a crunchy peanut butter kind-of-girl and only buy Santa Cruz Organic Peanut Butter
Sliced fresh fruit - banana, peach, kiwi, fig, apple, mango
Homemade berry sauce (optional)
Toppings - cacao nibs, coconut flakes, hemp seeds, cinnamon
BERRY SAUCE INGREDIENTS
makes ~ 1.5-2 cups of sauce
2 cups frozen/fresh mixed berries
1-2 tablespoons water
1-2 teaspoons maple syrup
1-2 teaspoons lemon juice
METHOD
Prepare the berry sauce (I like doing this the day before and keeping it in the fridge so that it thickens - it’s great on toast, oatmeal, overnight oats, chia seed pudding, and yogurt). Combine berries, water, maple syrup, and lemon juice in a small pot and cook over medium heat covered. Once it begins to bubble, lower the heat and cook until the berries are soft.
Toast your bread, spread on nut/seed butter, and arrange fruit. Top with berry sauce and toppings of your choice.
