Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices whole-grain bread
- 1 medium carrot
- 4 tablespoons almond butter (or any nut butter)
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons raisins (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter (or vegan alternative)
Instructions
Peel and grate the carrot using a box grater or food processor. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix almond butter, honey, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined. This will serve as the spread for the sandwich.
Take two slices of whole-grain bread and spread approximately 2 tablespoons of the nut butter mixture evenly over each slice.
Sprinkle the grated carrot evenly over the nut butter spread. If using raisins, scatter them over the carrot for added sweetness and texture.
Top with the remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches.
Optional: For a warm and crispy sandwich, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and toast each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice them in half, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
