Peanut Butter Toast with Coconut Chips
·Peanut butter spread
Mix the peanut butter with a splash of coconut cream. The coconut cream beautifully softens its texture and gives the butter a lighter, fluffier feel. The spread becomes less dense and won't stick to your teeth as much. This trick only works with natural peanut butter, though.
Poached pear
Peel the pear, remove the core, and simmer it in red wine. Add two tablespoons of cane sugar, cinnamon, a bay leaf, and cloves, then simmer until softened. The cooking time depends on how firm your pears are.
Marinade for the coconut chips
In a bowl, combine a teaspoon of smoked paprika, a teaspoon of tamari, and a teaspoon of coconut oil. Mix all the ingredients well and pour over the coconut flakes.
Bake
Arrange the coconut flakes on a baking tray brushed with coconut oil, overlapping the slices slightly so they form a chip shape. Bake for 8 minutes at 150°C.
Serving
Now all that's left is to put everything together and serve it to someone you really, really love - maybe that's you.
