Once you add the peanut butter to your toast, the possibilities and combinations are endless and there are so many delicious ways to enjoy this meal! Mix and match the different toppings or keep things really simple – it’s up to you.
Fruit Toppings
Fruit and peanut butter is a classic pairing for toast – peanut butter banana toast anyone?
- banana slices
- fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
- sliced apples or pears
- diced dried fruit (apricots or dates are delicious!)
Superfood Toppings
Ok, so the term “superfood” doesn’t actually mean much, but try some of these toppings if you want to add more nutrition INTO your toast.
- slivered almonds
- chia seeds
- hemp seeds (hemp hearts)
- ground flaxseed
- shredded coconut
- sunflower seeds
- sesame seeds
- pumpkin seeds
Sweet Toppings
Peanut butter pairs so well with sweet flavors, here are a few to try.
- Nutella drizzle or chocolate hummus
- mini chocolate chips
- sprinkles
- honey
- jam or jelly
- cinnamon sugar
Savory Toppings
It may not be as popular as sweet, but you can definitely make savory toast with peanut butter too.
- bacon crumbles (with banana slices and honey for a classic Elvis sandwich)
- cucumber ribbons and sriracha
- avocado
- pickles (a la this peanut butter and pickle sandwich)
How to Make Peanut Butter Toast
We don’t need a FULL step-by-step as this is a non-recipe recipe, but here are the general steps:
FAQs
What is the best peanut butter for toast?
The best peanut butter for toast is your favorite! I love crunchy peanut butter for extra texture, but use smooth if that’s your favorite. You can also use natural peanut butter or “regular” peanut butter that has some oil and sugar added in. Again, it depends on your preference.
You can also use any nut butter. Try out almond butter, cashew butter, or even sun butter for a nut-free option.
What is the best bread for peanut butter toast?
Again, go with your favorite! A high-quality artisan or sourdough bread will always be my favorite for toast, but I don’t always have it on hand. I do usually have whole grain bread (sprouted, typically!), but I think toast and peanut butter is pretty flexible and you can really use just about anything.
Is peanut butter toast healthy?
Yes, toast and peanut butter is a nutritious combination that provides protein, fiber, and filling fats. Then add other toppings for some sweet or savory combinations, as well as extra nutrition. It’s also a healthy snack, so try it in the afternoon as well.
How many calories are in toast and peanut butter?
This will vary greatly, depending on what type of bread you use, how much peanut butter toast you use, and if you include any toppings. This basic peanut butter banana toast has an estimated 590 calories and that includes 2 slices of bread, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, half of a banana, some honey, and hemp seeds. It’s a full and filling meal!
Storage Instructions
The pb toast is best eaten immediately.
What to Serve with Peanut Butter Toast
All this quick and easy breakfast needs is a simple side or two and a beverage:
- Fruit – Fresh fruit, smoothies or smoothie bowls, juice
- Extra Protein – Breakfast sausage, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese
- Coffee – Cappuccino, latte, brown sugar shaken espresso, dirty chai latte
How to Feed PB Toast to the Whole Family
I get it, feeding kids can be tough! But following the Division of Responsibility and knowing your job and your child’s job makes it SO much more enjoyable. You’ll be able to feed your kids any meal, which will help ensure that they are eating a variety of nutritious foods – with plenty of play food sprinkled in.
This is a great breakfast or snack for kids (especially if they can’t take peanut butter sandwiches to school). I would recommend putting out a few toppings (sprinkles always go over well at my house) and let them make and top their own toast.
