Once you add the peanut butter to your toast, the possibilities and combinations are endless! Mix and match 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
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.

- cucumber ribbons and sriracha
- avocado
- pickles (a la this peanut butter and pickle sandwich)
How to Make Peanut Butter Toast
We don’t really need a FULL step-by-step as this is a non-recipe recipe, but here are the general steps:
- Toast bread. Toast bread in a toaster or in a hot skillet or grill pan. (You can also air fry toast!)
- Spread with peanut butter. Give your toast a healthy (and by healthy I mean thick) spread of your favorite peanut butter.
- Add toppings. Pick the toppings that you’re going to use and sprinkle accordingly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best peanut butter for toast?
The best peanut butter for toast? Your favorite! I love crunchy peanut butter for extra texture, but you may not like that so use smooth. You can also use natural peanut butter or “regular” peanut butters that have 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 a whole grain bread (sprouted, typically!) and so it really depends on what you have and what you prefer.
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. The peanut butter toast calories estimate can be found below, but will vary based on bread, peanut butter, and toppings.
How to Serve Peanut Butter 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 meal for kids (especially if they can’t take peanut butter sandwiches to school). I would recommend putting out a few toppings (sprinkles would go over well at my house) and let them top their own.
