Whisky-Caramelised Banana Toast
Golden slices of banana caramelised in butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a splash of whisky, piled onto freshly toasted sourdough or wholegrain bread. Warm, sticky, and indulgent, this quick snack brings dessert-level comfort with minimal effort.
Perfect for a lazy weekend breakfast or a sweet afternoon treat, it’s delicious as-is or topped with a spoonful of Greek yoghurt or peanut butter for extra richness. Swap in plant-based butter for a vegan version—and enjoy every sticky, boozy bite.

In these recipes we haven’t specified the whisky to use, as you know what you like best, and it also allows you to experiment.
However, if you want a start, a good light, vanilla forward single malt to use would be The Glasgow Distillery’s Original. If you are looking to add some smokey depth, try The English Smokey, or if you want something fruity, try Arran Sherry Cask ‘The Bodega’.
