Culinary Tips for the Best Peanut Butter Honey Toast
If you live near a bakery or your local grocery store bakes bread, look for whole grain varieties. Fresh baked bread tastes better and tends not to have added preservatives or other undesirable ingredients.
We suggest natural nut butters for the best nutrition. After purchasing natural nut butter and before opening it, store it upside down in your pantry, as this will help the separated oil mix back into the nut butter. If it still needs to be mixed in, give it a stir! Store in the refrigerator once opened to preserve quality and keep the oils mixed together.
Slice your apples thinly, so the toast is easy to bite! Check out our knife skills course to learn how to slice and dice like a pro!
Ingredient Substitutions
- Whole Grain Bread: choose from any variety of whole wheat, multi-grain, sprouted, or more. Make sure the first grain ingredient says the word “whole.” It should be the first or second ingredient after water is listed. Sourdough is the next best option.
- Natural Peanut Butter: choose your favorite flavor, but avoid options loaded with sugar. Look for minimal ingredients: nuts and salt. That’s all you need!
- Apples: substitute with any other fruit. Sliced strawberries, peaches, and bananas are just a few different options.
- Honey: substitute agave or maple syrup.
- Spices: use any variety of sweet spices – allspice, apple pie spice, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, or pumpkin pie spice. We like to purchase our spices from the Spice House for awesome flavor and freshness!

Is Peanut Butter Honey Toast Healthy?
Featuring whole grains, plant based peanut butter, apples, and honey, this toast makes for a nutritious and delicious breakfast or snack.
Whole Grain Bread
Whole grains are a good source of fiber and complex carbohydrates. Fiber is important for digestion, satiety, stable blood sugar, good cholesterol, and healthy gut bacteria. Complex carbohydrates are important for steady energy and focus.
Peanut Butter
Nut butters are a great source of plant-based protein and healthy fat. Peanuts are high in monounsaturated fats, which are good for heart health.
Refer to our ingredient guide for helpful tips when shopping for nut butter.
Apples
Does an apple a day keep the doctor away? It certainly can help! Apples contain prebiotic fibers that support gut health. Apples also contain phytonutrients such as quercetin and catechin, which may play a role in cancer and cardiovascular disease prevention. For the most nutrition, leave the peel on.
Honey
Honey is considered an added sugar, but it is a healthier choice than white sugar. In fact, honey is 50% sweeter than white sugar, which allows us to use less when cooking. Honey contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants, which help prevent illness and inflammation. Honey is also a source of prebiotics which is important for gut health.
Serving Suggestions
Peanut butter toast can be a meal on its own, depending on how much you add to the top, but it is also a great accompaniment to a smoothie. It also makes for a quick and nutritious snack.

Can I store peanut butter toast?
Leftovers aren’t the best, as the bread will lose its warmness and crunchy texture. We recommend only making the amount you plan to eat.
