Cinnamon pairs with peanut butter and banana beautifully, adding a warm, aromatic dimension to the toast. But you can boost the flavor with other spices:

  • Nutmeg: For a subtle, nutty warmth
  • Cardamom: To add an exotic, slightly sweet spice
  • Cocoa powder: For chocolate lovers seeking an indulgent twist
  • Sea salt: To enhance the sweetness and create a sweet-salty balance

Or you can add chia seeds or flax seeds to the toast. Chia seeds add a delightful crunch and nutritional boost to peanut butter banana toast. Flax seeds contribute omega-3 fatty acids and a subtle nutty flavor. I’ve experimented with both, and I can confidently say that these tiny powerhouses pack a significant punch in terms of texture and health benefits.

  1. Mix 1 tablespoon each of chia seeds and ground flax seeds
  2. Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
  3. Sprinkle the mixture over your PB&B toast before adding honey or maple syrup

This combination not only enhances the texture but also adds a nutritional boost to your morning meal.
