Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, sourdough, or gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
Optional Toppings:
- Sliced banana
- Sliced strawberries
- 1 drizzle honey
- 1 drizzle maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) flaxseeds
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) hemp seeds
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) granola
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) chopped nuts
- 1 sprinkle cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) cacao nibs
Instructions
- Carefully select your preferred bread, ensuring it’s fresh and of high quality.
- Place bread slices into the toaster, adjusting settings to achieve a golden-brown, crisp exterior with a slightly soft interior.
- Once toasted, immediately transfer the bread to a clean plate, allowing residual heat to create a perfect surface for spreading.
- Scoop a generous layer of creamy or crunchy peanut butter onto the warm toast, using the heat to help the spread melt slightly and become more spreadable.
- Enhance the toast with creative toppings like sliced bananas drizzled with local honey, fresh strawberry slivers sprinkled with nutrient-rich chia seeds, or keep it simple with just the pure peanut butter flavor.
- For an elevated presentation, cut the toast diagonally to create triangular halves that showcase the luscious toppings.
- Serve immediately while the toast remains warm, allowing the peanut butter to maintain its delightful, slightly melted consistency.
- Pair with a refreshing beverage like cold milk or hot coffee to complement the rich, nutty flavors of the toast.
Notes
- Use room temperature bread for even toasting and consistent crispiness.
- Choose natural, unsweetened peanut butter for a healthier option with less added sugar.
- Warm your knife slightly before spreading peanut butter to create smoother, more even coverage.
- Experiment with different bread types like whole grain, sourdough, or gluten-free alternatives to suit dietary needs.
