Cinnamon Toast with Caramelized vegan Banana Butter

March 5, 2018 by Julie Ann Leave a Comment

Cinnamon swirl bread pairs perfectly with fresh blueberries, and warm caramelized vegan banana butter.  This “butter” is completely vegan, as it is made solely of melted banana.  

Soaked in sweetened cinnamon, that loaf of bread is the source of the cinnamon aroma that’s been filling the van these last couple days.

Traveling our cinnamon scented van a little further south on the California coast, we took up an offer from a previous neighboring camper, to explore some rural property in the hills above Malibu.

We wake up to subtle beams of sun peaking through the edges of our homemade window shades, the van door opened to the sound of nothing.  A peaceful stillness you only find hidden in nature, far away from sounds of schedules, plans, and the business of civilization.  

Cliffs of mountain rocks sit behind us, a view of the ocean is just off in the distance, a few scarce pine trees surround the perimeter of the leveled peak we are parked on.  The pup, contently lying in the morning sun, stares off towards the canyon.


The ground crunches beneath my feet, as I step over to the edge, and look out towards this morning.  A morning filled of mountain, canyons, trees, dirt, sunshine, and ocean.  Much to explore, but so nice to just be still.  

A warm breeze rustles the tree.  It’ll be hot here in a few hours, but the ocean will be cool, and we’ll move back towards it in a little while.

But first, the breakfast.  Simple and hot, is all that’s needed for a breakfast.  That, and preferably, little to no dishes.

Cinnamon swirl toast with vegan banana “butter” and blueberries, is a perfect hot breakfast for camping.

It is a warm and simply satisfying breakfast that can be prepared quickly, with little clean up.  Using our single Alpha butane burner and 8″ fry pan, this breakfast comes together is under 10 min.  

The clean up is quick, using just a single paper towel, and splash of water.

Re-grow food scraps, a fun little indoor project for these cold days!  Super satisfying for the Littles to watch too as these green onions grow like an inch overnight 🥳 #regrowveggies #cozysundaymorning #cabindreams
I had bananas smashed in a bowl for a Maple Cinnam I had bananas smashed in a bowl for a Maple Cinnamon Banana bread and some bone broth doing it’s magic in the Instant Pot.  There was slime on the kitchen counter, a princess tent in the hallway, school work and bills on the table and miscellaneous stuffed animals and stacking toys under my feet at every step.  The Husband mentions, “It’s gana be 70s and off shore at the beach. Adventure?” So, while everyone was stockpiling for this years annual Wintery Storm, I closed up my kitchen projects, packed a cooler, pack’n play, swimsuits, sand toys, and 2 days worth of clothes.  We escaped, headed South for warmer weather to an island, with palm trees and a private heated pool.  The ocean just over the sand dune… My new favorite secret place 💕 #tothebeach
