Toast w Ginger & Vanilla Peanut Butter, Pineapple & Toasted Coconut Flakes

May 7, 2013 · by · Leave a Comment

Peanut butter sandwiches are always nice, I think, I grew up on them 🙂 They also contain a lot of protein, and I like to add fruit to make it more complete nutrition wise.

Check list (for 1 person):

•  some (coconut) oil
•  1 handful of coconut flakes
  •  Peanut Butter w Ginger & Vanilla (see recipe)
  •  2 slices of bread (home made is the nicest, but any wholemeal bread will do)
  •  a few slices of pineapple
  •  vegan butter – optional

 

Way to go:
– in a small skillet, toast the coconut flakes (without oil). This goes rather quickly, so don’t walk away, and stir regularly. Take off heat
– toast the bread in the toaster or in a skillet with a bit of coconut oil
– quickly bake the pineapple so it is nice and warm
– put butter on the toast, if you want, and then the peanut butter
– top with pineapple, sprinkle coconut flakes on top
– make a tower to show off, or keep it simple 😉
