Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of whole grain or white bread
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- ½ banana, sliced (optional, for extra flavor)
- A pinch of cinnamon (optional, for warmth and depth)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional, for a nutritional boost)
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Place your bread slices in a toaster and toast to your desired level of crispiness (medium-high setting for a golden-brown finish).
- Prepare the peanut butter: If using natural peanut butter, stir well to combine any separated oils.
- Spread evenly: Allow the toast to cool for 30-60 seconds, then spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on each slice.
- Add toppings (optional): Drizzle honey or maple syrup, layer banana slices, or sprinkle cinnamon and seeds for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy warm with a cup of coffee, tea, or a smoothie for a complete breakfast!
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free bread or rice cakes.
- If you love savory flavors, try adding avocado slices, a fried egg, or a sprinkle of sea salt.
- Store-bought peanut butter works well, but homemade peanut butter brings a fresher, richer taste.
- Pair with a smoothie or fresh fruit for a well-balanced meal.
