Ingredients
  

Main Components
  • 1 slice bread square shaped, like whole wheat or white
  • 1 slice extra bread for cutting out the ears
  • 2-3 tbsp creamy peanut butter smooth consistency
  • 3 slices banana cut into thick rounds
  • 3 whole fresh blueberries plump and similar in size

Equipment

  • Toaster
  • Butter knife or small spatula
  • Cutting Board
  • Toothpick or skewer

Method
 

  1. Toast the main slice of bread until lightly golden and firm.
  2. Take the extra slice of bread and use a knife to cut out two small identical triangles to act as the dog's ears.
  3. Spread a generous, smooth, and even layer of creamy peanut butter over the main slice of toast and the two triangular ear pieces.
  4. Attach the two peanut butter-coated ears to the top left and right corners of the main toast slice.
  5. Place two thick banana slices side-by-side in the upper middle of the toast for the eyes, and one banana slice centered just below them for the snout.
  6. Gently press one blueberry into the center of each of the top banana slices (for the pupils), and one blueberry at the top edge of the bottom banana slice (for the nose).
  7. Using a toothpick or the edge of a knife, gently draw lines into the peanut butter to create arched eyebrows above the eyes and curved muzzle lines around the snout.
  8. Serve immediately while the toast is fresh and enjoy your fun animal breakfast!

Notes

To prevent banana slices from browning if preparing slightly in advance, brush them lightly with lemon or pineapple juice. Sunflower seed butter can be substituted for a nut-free option.
