👩🍳 Best bread to use? You can use any soft white bread that can easily be pressed to form an indent, such as white sandwich bread, soft Italian, French, Texas toast, brioche, or even regular wheat bread. However, it's best to avoid crusty breads or whole grain varieties, as they are too sturdy to create the desired indent.
Variations
- Skip chocolate chips.
- Use other nut butter such as almond, cashew or sunflower seed butter instead.
- Add flavorings like vanilla extract or ground cinnamon.
- Mix in ground cinnamon with filling.

You can find full printable recipe below, but here is a quick overview of the procedure along with step-by-step photos.
Make filling - Mix peanut butter, egg, and maple syrup or honey together, until smooth and creamy. When you begin to mix the egg with peanut butter, it will look very liquidy but will thicken into a paste-like consistency in a few seconds. Stir in chocolate chips.

Prepare bread - Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, press into the center of each piece of bread slice to indent and create a rim around the edges, without poking through.
Fill - Divide the filling between two slices of bread.
Cooking instructions
- Air Fry - Preheat your air fryer to 340 degrees. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the tops are golden brown in color.
- Oven - Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 8 to 12 minutes.
The peanut butter toast will result in a thin, dry top layer and the inside will have a creamy, spoon-clinging consistency.
Troubleshooting
- If removed early, the peanut butter toast will not have enough time for the custard to set and will be slightly runny inside.
- If left longer in the oven or air fryer, it will result in a very brown or almost burnt top. Make sure to keep an eye, during the last minute (when air frying) or the last few minutes (when baking).
How to serve?
Enjoy hot with a generous sprinkling of powdered sugar. You can also top them with fresh fruits, a drizzle of Nutella or jam, and chopped toasted nuts. I like to pair it with strawberry lassi for a satisfying and nutritious breakfast.
