Quick and Easy: Blueberry-banana toast



Blueberry-Banana Toast

Happy Monday, today I decided to share this quick and delicious breakfast idea, it takes few minutes to make and it is the perfect breakfast.

Ingredients: 

Whole wheat bread, 
Hand full of Blueberries ( I used frozen)
1banana 
1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt 
2 tablespoons of oats
Honey 

  • Put a frying pan on medium heat to warm the blueberries (I add few drops of water), add the oats and stir frequently to avoid overcooking.

  • When the blueberries and oats are warm, add honey to the mix. 

  • Add Greek yogurt to your toast, put the  blueberri/oats mixture on top. Cut the banana and put it on top of your toast. Drizzle more honey of you wish.
