Banana, Honey and Toasted Coconut-Hazelnut Butter Crostini with Fleur de sel

Banana, Honey and Toasted Coconut-Hazelnut Butter Crostini with Fleur de sel

1 baguette
1/4 cup (4 tbsp) Toasted coconut-hazelnut butter (or any other nut butter)
2-3 bananas (at your preferred ripeness), sliced*
2-3 tbsp honey, warmed**
fleur de sel (maldon salt)

Preheat the grill in your oven to the hottest temperature.

Cut the french bread with a sharp knife at an angle into 1″ thick slices.

Place them onto a baking tray and put under the grill until just brown around the edges – watch the bread closely, it will take under a minute to slightly brown. Flip the bread over and put under the grill until just browned again.

Spread 2 tsp of nut butter on top of each piece of warm toasted bread. Top with the sliced bananas, drizzle with some honey and sprinkle with the fleur de sel.

Vegan Variation: replace the honey with maple syrup or agave syrup!

*if you’re making these ahead of time, you’ll want to stop the banana from browning: put the banana slices into a bowl and either: 

  • squeeze over some lemon or lime juice, then gently stir to coat, or
  • mix 1/4 cup lemon or lime juice / vinegar with 1 cup of water, pour over the banana slices, leave for 3 minutes, then drain.
**to warm the honey easily, put your container of honey into a small jug or bowl which is filled with boiling water. Leave for a few minutes until the honey is runny.

  1. I love fancy day!! If i actually blow dry my hair and put make up on it is fancy day for me. Hopfully hubby comes home after a good day at work;)
    And I love this recipe…(i feed the widgets banana cinnamon toast all the time for breaky) but this is kicking it up another notch.
    Keep rocking that pafume girl!

  2. I totally approve of and endorse fancy days. In fact, I say we gals have ourselves an online blogging community fancy schmancy feast/photo-sharing night! (For some strange reason, I’ve always wanted to try cooking in heels and a cute halter, so I’m seriously looking for an excuse to do it soon. Formalwear loves company, and I’d love to set a date if you’re down for something like this!)
