HEALTHY (BELIEVE IT!) CINNAMON TOAST

Steps:

• Mash the banana (easiest with a fork in a shallow bowl) to make the luscious "banana butter". Toast the bread.
• In a jar, combine the flax, sugar and cinnamon and shake till well mixed. You may want to add more sugar- this combo had just the right sweetness for me.
• Spread some of the mashed banana on each slice of bread, and generously sprinkle each with flaxen-cinnamon sugar.
• Enjoy with a cold glass of rice or soy milk and a fruit bowl.
