This is on my weekly breakfast rotation. I’ve learned to make a single portion in my toaster oven set on 350, for 5 minutes, then flip it over, then five minutes more. For 1 portion, I use about 3 Tbs. aquafaba, beat it until foamy, then remove 2 Tbs. of the foam + 2 Tbs. of plant milk to dip the bread in. 1/2 banana is enough for one sandwich.
Though peanut butter tastes the best, I also use sunflower seed butter for my son with nut allergies. (I’ll add more notes on the aquafaba whipped cream recipe).
