Indulge guilt-free with this wholesome and flavorful Low Sodium Roti Bakar, a delightful twist on the classic Malaysian toasted bread. This recipe combines nutritious whole grain bread with creamy low sodium peanut butter, sweet ripe banana slices, and a hint of cinnamon sugar for a balanced blend of sweetness and spice. The bread is dipped in a luscious egg custard infused with vanilla and low sodium milk, then lightly pan-fried to golden perfection, creating a crispy exterior and soft, gooey center. With minimal prep time and simple ingredients, this quick and easy treat is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert. Serve warm with a drizzle of honey for a naturally sweet finish thatβs sure to impress!
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg together with the low sodium milk and vanilla extract. This forms the custard mixture for soaking the bread.
Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter onto one side of each slice of bread, then spread 1 tablespoon of low sodium peanut butter on the opposite side.
Peel and slice the ripe banana into thin, even rounds. Set aside.
Sprinkle a mix of sugar and cinnamon over the peanut buttered side of each bread slice.
Place half of the banana rounds on top of two slices of bread. Drizzle with honey, then top with the other two slices to form sandwiches, with the peanut butter and banana inside.
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the remaining unsalted butter to melt.
While the skillet is heating, carefully dip each sandwich into the egg and milk mixture, allowing the bread to soak but not become overly saturated.
Place the sandwiches in the hot skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Once the sandwiches are cooked, remove from skillet and let cool slightly before cutting each sandwich in half or into quarters.
Serve warm, with additional honey drizzled on top for extra sweetness if desired.
