Peanut Butter English Muffin

Ingredients

For 2 servings (2 muffins), gather these everyday items:

  • 2 whole-wheat English muffins, split and toasted
  • 4 tablespoons natural peanut butter (unsweetened, no added sugar)
  • 1 large ripe banana, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon honey or date syrup (optional for extra sweetness)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts or almonds (for crunch)
  • Optional toppings: a few raisins, chia seeds, sliced strawberries, or a drizzle of melted dark chocolate

Direction

  • Assemble these tasty muffins in these simple steps:
  • Step 1: Toast the English muffin halves in a toaster or on a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp (about 2–3 minutes).
  • Step 2: While still warm, spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter evenly on each toasted half, letting it melt slightly into the muffin for better flavor.
  • Step 3: Arrange banana slices in a single layer over the peanut butter.
  • Step 4: Drizzle lightly with honey or date syrup if desired for a touch of sweetness.
  • Step 5: Sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the top for warm spice notes.
  • Step 6: Finish with a generous sprinkle of chopped peanuts or almonds for crunch. Add any extra toppings like raisins or chia seeds. Serve immediately while the muffin is warm and the peanut butter is soft. Enjoy open-faced or press two halves together for a sandwich-style treat.
