Apple Peanut Butter Chocolate Beaver Tails

October 5, 2021

Time to Prepare: 10min. Servings: 2

This is one of our family’s favourite snacks. My teenage son ate them almost every day after school (A full Naan!). For those with a smaller appetite, a half Naan is very satisfying. It’s a lower sugar alternative to the great Canadian Beaver Tail. Start with a whole wheat or high fibre Naan bread to make this snack particularly filling. (See Presidents Choice High Fibre Naan Bread below). You can also make up your own variation using lemon juice, butter, cinnamon and sugar or go decadent and coat with Nutella and peanut butter. I like this mix which gives the crunch and juiciness of fall apples contrasted with the melted peanut butter and a touch of dark chocolate.

Ingredients

  • Whole Wheat Naan Bread (Also works with a whole grain Tortilla )

  • 2 Tbs Crunchy or Smooth Peanut Butter

  • 1 apple cored and thinly sliced. (Any type: Gala, Granny smith and Honeycrisp are nice!)

  • 1 Tbs chocolate chips (dark chocolate or semi sweet)

Directions

  1. Cut Naan Bread in half and toast lightly in the toaster

  2. Spread peanut butter onto warm Naan and sprinkle chocolate chips on top of peanut butter while the Naan is still warm so they both have time to soften and melt.

  3. Arrange sliced apple onto peanut butter.

  4. Enjoy with a glass of your favourite dairy or non-dairy beverage

Variations: Try different fruit combinations such as: Sliced banana, sliced strawberries, blueberries, slices peaches, lemon juice/sugar/cinnamon, use raisins instead of chocolate chips… get creative! Share your comments and combinations below….

The Gift of Our Compulsions

September 15, 2021

I have a compulsion. It always seems to catch up with me in September when things get busy. It’s not drinking or online shopping or binge watching or overeating (unless you count the occasional overconsumption of homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!)

Training Our Puppy Mind

February 2, 2021

I’ve often heard Meditation compared to training a Puppy. When we close our eyes to meditate we discover the chaotic, puppy-like nature of the untrained mind.

Giving Birth to New Possibilities in 2021

January 2, 2021

Recently I heard 2020 described as a pregnancy*. For some, it was a difficult pregnancy fraught with limitations, fear, pain and discomfort. For others, the slower pace and ‘nesting’ felt like an invitation for self-care which unlocked perspective, possibility and new beginnings.
