Instructions

Toast the Bread:
Start by popping two slices of your favorite bread into the toaster. Whole grain bread is my personal go-to for its extra fiber, but sourdough adds a nice tang if you’re feeling adventurous. Toast them to your desired level of crispiness. I love my toast on the crunchier side, but you do you!
Spread the Peanut Butter:
Once the toast is nice and crispy, grab your peanut butter. I like to use smooth peanut butter for a creamy, spreadable texture, but chunky peanut butter adds an awesome texture if you like a little crunch. Spread about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on each slice of toast. Don’t be shy—you want it to coat the toast evenly. If you’re feeling fancy, you can also warm the peanut butter in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make it even easier to spread.
Slice the Banana:
Next, take a ripe banana and peel it. Slice it into thin rounds. You can also cut it diagonally for a more elegant look, but it’s totally up to you! A banana that’s ripe but not overripe is perfect here—sweet, but not mushy. Arrange the banana slices on top of the peanut butter. I like to do a nice, even layer, but you can pile them on for extra banana goodness.
Optional Toppings:
Now it’s time to get creative. Drizzle a little honey over the top for extra sweetness, especially if your bananas aren’t quite ripe enough. A sprinkle of cinnamon adds a cozy spice that pairs perfectly with the banana. A pinch of sea salt can help balance out the sweetness of the peanut butter and banana. If you’re feeling extra, you can even add some granola or chia seeds for a little crunch.
Serve and Enjoy:
That’s it! Serve your peanut butter banana toast warm, and enjoy the creamy, crunchy, sweet, and salty goodness. This is one of those dishes that’s so simple, but it always feels like a treat.
