"Peanut butter toast is a peak low-effort, high-payoff breakfast food. A slice of plain toast with butter isn't that filling, but when you add a swipe of your favorite peanut butter brand to the top, you're powered up with an extra dose of protein, fats, and fiber to keep you fueled through to lunch time. However, this simple breakfast can be a little, well, simple. Luckily there are many additions that make peanut butter toast even better, including one nostalgic topping: toasted marshmallows."
"If you grew up in the '90s in New England, chances are you're more than familiar with the iconic Fluffernutter sandwich, which combines creamy peanut butter and marshmallow fluff between two slices of white bread. Consider toasted marshmallows on peanut butter toast an upscale, open-faced rendition of the Fluffernutter. That being said, you don't want to stop with just adding a dollop of Fluff to the top of your peanut butter toast."
"Toasted marshmallows are just the start of this toast. To go full Elvis, consider layering sliced banana and bacon on your peanut butter layer and adding the mallows. If you want an even more gourmet option, give those bananas the bananas Foster treatment by flambéing them with a little bit of booze; the caramel flavor of the bananas will complement the toasted marshmallows well."
Peanut butter toast provides a quick, filling breakfast by adding protein, fats, and fiber to plain toast. Toasted marshmallows add nostalgia and sweetness, functioning as an open-faced, upscale Fluffernutter. A butane torch creates a gourmet char on marshmallows, or a toaster oven can brown and soften them. More substantial versions pair peanut butter and toasted marshmallows with sliced banana and bacon, or bananas Foster flambé for caramelized richness. Simpler accompaniments include a sprinkle of sea salt to cut sweetness or cinnamon for warmth. These variations expand flavor and texture while preserving the ease of the original toast.
