    This Peanut Butter Toast is inspired by the latest viral TikTok custard yogurt toast. Bread slices are topped with egg, peanut butter, and maple syrup, and then baked or air fried. Ready in under 7 minutes, it makes a healthy and satisfying snack.

    Custard toast has quickly become this year's first viral TikTok food trend with several millions of views and creations - It is like eating dessert for breakfast!

    It is made using Greek yogurt, egg, and maple syrup mixed together, then spread on a slice of bread, and then baked or air fried.

    What is peanut butter toast? Inspired by this viral TikTok trend, I used peanut butter instead of Greek yogurt and made a fun spin on the usual PB&J.

    It has quickly become one of our favorite healthy breakfasts that kids love to eat every morning, before heading out to school like the almond butter overnight oats.

    Why you'll love this?

    • Just 5 ingredients.
    • Bake in the oven or air fry.
    • Ready in under 7 minutes, when air fried.
    • Filling and satisfying.
    • Protein-rich with egg and peanut butter.
    • The filling gets a creamy, custardy consistency.

    Ingredients

    Scroll down to the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and amounts.

    ingredients needed.
    • Peanut butter - I like to use creamy peanut butter, like in my peanut butter smoothie.
    • Egg - It is the key ingredient to help the filling to set and give a custardy-style texture.
    • Sweetener - Any liquid sweeteners such as maple syrup or honey.
    • Bread - Any white bread like a white sandwich, soft Italian, soft French, Texas style, Brioche or even regular wheat will work. Avoid crusty bread.
    • Chocolate chips - A classic combination like in peanut butter balls.

    Variations

    1. Skip chocolate chips.
    2. Use other nut butter such as almond, cashew or sunflower seed butter instead.
    3. Add flavorings like vanilla extract or ground cinnamon.
    4. Mix in ground cinnamon with filling

    How to make

    You can find full printable recipe below, but here is a quick overview of the procedure along with step-by-step photos.

    1 to 4. 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.

    Pro tip: Peanut butter is about 80 percent fat, while egg contains lots of water, so they don't mix naturally. Continue to mix using a small whisk or a spoon, gradually, which gives the mixture time to emulsify and thicken.

    5 & 6. Prepare bread - Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, press into the center of each piece of bread to indent and create a rim around the edges, without poking through. Divide the filling between two slices of bread.

    Cook

    • 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.
