How to Make Peanut Butter Banana Toast

Making this toast is delightfully simple—the creativity comes from choosing toppings.

Use your favorite sliced bread; hearty options like sprouted wheat or whole grain give a great texture. Toast a slice to your preferred level, let it cool briefly, then place it on a plate.

Spread a generous layer of peanut butter—regular, natural, or a chocolate-flavored peanut butter works well. Slice banana and arrange on top. From here, choose one of the variations below to dress it up: drizzle chocolate syrup and sprinkle mini chips for a dessert-like treat, mix seeds and flax for a crunchy, nutrient-packed version, or add a cinnamon-sugar blend for a warm, sweet option. Serve immediately and enjoy.

When Do I Know My Bananas Are Ready?

Ripe bananas make the best topping. Look for these signs:

  • Brown speckles across the peel—the more, the riper
  • Soft to the touch but not mushy
  • Deep yellow color with no green
  • Sweet, banana-forward aroma

What Kind of Peanut Butter Should I Use?

Any peanut butter will work. If you prefer less salt, choose an unsalted natural creamy option. For variety you can substitute almond butter, pecan butter, or even homemade cashew butter. Choose the texture and flavor you enjoy most—each will change the toast slightly but deliciously.
