BANANA-RICOTTA TOASTS WITH PECANS, DATES, AND HONEY
Toast need not be boring: Adding part-skim ricotta cheese and a few tasty toppings transforms it into a simple, satisfying breakfast. Part-skim ricotta has significantly less sodium than cottage cheese, a common breakfast bite. Pecans are loaded with antioxidants.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the baguette on a bias into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Arrange on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bake until toasted and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, spread the almonds on a second baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, about 8 minutes. Let the nuts and bread slices cool.
- Mix the ricotta and lemon zest in a small bowl and season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spoon the ricotta on the toasts and drizzle generously with honey. Top with the almonds and lemon zest if using.
DONNA HAY'S BANANA, RICOTTA AND PECAN MUFFINS
From the NZ Herald website. They sound nice and I can't wait to try them. "Studded with nuts, oats, berries and dates, and drizzled with a little maple or agave syrup, these wholesome muffins make for a delicious breakfast on the run or a nourishing morning snack. Enjoy them fresh from the oven with a cup of tea, bake a batch on the weekend in readiness for the week's school lunchboxes or whip them up the night before a busy day." The recipe says it makes 6 muffins, but I would suggest making 12 smaller ones and probably not cooking them for quite so long. Check them after 25 minutes for doneness and if necessary cook a little longer.
