Sourdough Toast with Dates, Hazelnut Spread & Caramelized Banana

Preparation time: ±10–15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of sourdough bread  
• 4–6 soft dates (pitted)  
• 2 tbsp La Vida Vegan hazelnut spread  
• 1 banana (sliced)  
• 1–2 tbsp sugar  
• A pinch of (flaky) salt

Instructions

1. Lightly toast the sourdough slices until golden brown.  
2. Press the soft dates into the warm bread so they form a sticky, sweet base.  
3. Heat a pan over medium heat and sprinkle in the sugar. Let it melt slowly into a golden caramel.  
4. Add the banana slices to the caramel and cook briefly on both sides until soft and caramelized. Remove them from the pan and place on a piece of parchment paper.  
5. Generously spread the La Vida Vegan hazelnut spread over the toast.  
6. Top with the caramelized banana.  
7. Sprinkle with a pinch of (flaky) salt for extra flavor balance. 

Tip: For extra crunch, you can add some chopped nuts.
