Banana & Peanut Butter Toast Strips

Ingredients

• 1 slice bread
• 1 tsp smooth peanut butter
• 1/2 ripe banana

Method

1. 01

   Toast a slice of bread until lightly golden.

2. 02

   Spread a very thin layer of smooth (not chunky) peanut butter on the toast — use just enough to barely coat the surface.

3. 03

   Slice a ripe banana and lay banana rounds on top of the peanut butter.

4. 04

   Cut the toast into long finger-width strips.

5. 05

   Allow to cool slightly before placing on the tray.

How to offer

Place 2–3 toast strips on the high chair tray. Use only a thin smear of peanut butter as thick globs are a choking hazard. Introduce peanut as an allergen food and supervise closely.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Nutrition note

Bananas are rich in minerals like folate, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium that babies require to flourish in addition to carbohydrates to fuel the body. Together, these nutrients help to maintain blood pressure, skin health, the neurological system, and iron absorption.
