Introduction

Banana Toast with Pistachio Cream is a delightful and easy breakfast or snack option that combines creamy, nutty flavors with the natural sweetness of banana. It’s a perfect way to elevate a simple slice of toast into something special and satisfying.

Two slices of toasted bread with a golden brown crust are placed on a wooden board. Each slice is spread with a smooth, light green layer of what looks like matcha or pistachio cream. On top of each slice, there are several round banana slices, pale yellow with some brown spots in the middle. Small bits of chopped green pistachios and tiny pink flower petals are sprinkled over the bananas and cream. The background shows a white marbled texture surface with a honey dipper and a jar blurred out. The image has bright natural lighting highlighting the textures and colors. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 slices thick, crusty bread (sourdough, multigrain, etc.)
2-4 tbsp pistachio cream (pistachio crema, crema di pistacchio)
1 banana, sliced
2 tbsp chopped, shelled pistachios (unsalted)
Honey for drizzling
1 pinch flaky sea salt, optional
Edible rose petals for topping, optional

Instructions

Step 1: Toast the bread in a toaster or pan fry on medium heat with a little butter until golden brown on both sides.
Step 2: Spread the pistachio cream evenly over the toasted bread. Top with sliced bananas, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle chopped pistachios on top. Serve immediately, adding a pinch of flaky sea salt and edible rose petals if desired.

Tips & Variations

For extra creaminess, lightly mash the banana before spreading it over the pistachio cream.
Try substituting honey with maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
Use toasted pistachios to add a richer, nuttier flavor.
If you prefer a vegan version, pan fry the bread in coconut oil or olive oil instead of butter.

Storage

This toast is best enjoyed fresh. If needed, prepare the pistachio cream and sliced banana separately and assemble just before serving. Leftover pistachio cream can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Toast is best not stored once topped to avoid sogginess.

How to Serve

Two slices of toasted bread with a light golden brown crust are placed flat on a gray plate. Each slice is topped with a smooth, creamy green spread, covering the surface evenly. On top of the spread, there are three thick, round slices of banana on each piece of toast, arranged in a neat row. To the right side of the plate, a wooden honey dipper with some honey clinging to it rests partly on the plate. In the blurred background, a small white bowl with green and purple bits and a green jar are visible. The whole scene is set on a white marbled texture. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use other nuts instead of pistachios?

Yes, you can substitute pistachio cream with almond or hazelnut butter, but the flavor will be different. Chopped nuts can also be swapped accordingly.

What is pistachio cream, and where can I find it?

Pistachio cream is a smooth spread made from ground pistachios, often sweetened or mixed with oil for creaminess. You can find it in specialty grocery stores or make your own by blending shelled pistachios with a little oil and sweetener.
