Ingredients
- 2 large Bananas
- 4 tablespoons Natural peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice them into approximately 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 2
Lay the banana slices flat on a clean cutting board or plate.
Step 3
Spread about 1 teaspoon of natural peanut butter onto each banana slice. Use a small spoon to gently spread the peanut butter evenly.
Step 4
Sprinkle a small pinch of chia seeds over the peanut butter on each slice. Chia seeds add fiber and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
Step 5
Lightly dust each slice with ground cinnamon for added flavor and antioxidant benefits.
Step 6
If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of flaxseed meal over the top for additional heart-health benefits.
Step 7
For a touch of sweetness, drizzle a tiny amount of honey over the banana slices, but this step can be skipped to keep the sugar content lower.
Step 8
Arrange the decorated banana slices on a serving platter. They can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
