ingredients & substitutions
Bread (gluten free if you’re me!)

The base of this banana toast is of course the bread! I like my bread nice and toasted so I usually press it down twice in the toaster so it is golden brown. I also use gluten free toast to keep this recipe celiac friendly. If you are only vegan feel free to use any vegan bread. If you are both gluten free and vegan you’ll need to purchase a

Peanut Butter (or nut free spread)
For this vegan peanut butter frosting recipe, I like to buy organic peanut butter that is made of only ground peanuts and salt. Be sure to look for peanut butter that does NOT contain oil. It is simply just healthier. If you cannot find it, you can use any peanut butter in its place. This will not change the texture. It is just a personal healthy preference. If I can’t find this peanut butter, I use natural Jif.

If you want to make these nut free, use a peanut butter substitute or tahini!
Maple Syrup
I love a good maple syrup drizzle on my banana toast. It’s best warmed up in the microwave for 10-20 seconds until its warm and gooey. You can use any kind of maple syrup you want here. I like butter flavored or sugar free! When I’m feeling like being extra healthy and skipping the sugar its easy to make this recipe with sugar free syrup and keep it on the healthier side. If you don’t like maple syrup you can also use agave, honey or a vegan honey.
Bananas
Caramelizing these bananas is super easy! You can do it in the air fryer or in the oven. Just slice the banana long-ways into 2 halves. Drizzle honey, agave or maple syrup on top. Wrap in tin foil and bake until the bananas as brown, warm and caramelized.
Pumpkin spice
A classic fall flavor. This banana toast calls for a sprinkle of pumpkin spiceon top! If you like pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin bread and all fall flavors, you’ll love this topping.
If you don’t have pumpkin spice or don’t like it, DON’T FEAR! You can always use just standard cinnamon here instead.
