    Two toasts on a plate with peanut butter, cottage cheese, fresh berries and a drizzle of honey.

    Here's a quick breakfast recipe that's both satisfying and nutritious. Peanut butter cottage cheese toast with fresh berries is the perfect blend of creamy, crunchy, and sweet flavors.

    It tastes incredible but also packs a nice punch of proteins for a sweet cottage cheese toast. Plus, you'll get your peanut butter fix at the same time—ready in 5 minutes. 

    Two toasts on a plate with peanut butter, cottage cheese, fresh berries and a drizzle of honey.

    Among all the breakfast toasts, this is one of my favorites. It's simple and delicious, like my healthy breakfast with plantains.

    You can change it up in many ways or pair it with hard-boiled eggs for that extra protein. The best part is that it's ready in 5 minutes, which makes it a perfect pre- or post-workout morning bite.

    The creamy cottage cheese pairs wonderfully with the nutty peanut butter (or use chocolate peanut butter when enjoyed as a snack) and fresh berries. All you need is a drizzle of honey for that sweet touch. Let's make it.

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • A good amount of Protein: This toast provides a substantial amount of protein, with a cup of cottage cheese and peanut butter. It's a great way to start your day or refuel after a workout.
    • Simple Ingredients: Most of these ingredients are probably already in your pantry or fridge, making it easy to prepare a nutritious breakfast.
    • Versatile: You can customize it with your favorite toppings or try it with different bread, like my grain-free lupin bread, or different types of nut butter, like almond butter.
    • Quick and Delicious: It's perfect for busy mornings or a tasty daily snack.

    Ingredients

    See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    Here's what you need to make peanut butter cottage cheese toast:

    Ingredients to make peanut butter cottage cheese toast.
    • Hearty bread: I love sprouted grain from Ezekiel, like my Leftover Pot Roast Shredded Beef Sandwich. They have different dietary options. It's also so easy to store in the fridge or freezer. You pop it into the oven. That's it. But choose your favorite whole-grain or gluten-free bread, or try it on my chaffles or sweet plantain waffles. 
    • Peanut Butter: Go for unsalted and unsweetened plain peanut butter.
    • Cottage Cheese: I prefer whole-fat, but fat-free cottage cheese is also fine. I love good cultured cottage cheese or Nancy's probiotic Cottage cheese.
    • Fresh berries: I prefer raspberries for their sweet and tarty flavors.
    • Honey: You only need a drizzle to add a touch of sweetness.

    Instructions

    See the full recipe with measurements in the recipe card.

    1. Toast the Bread: Start by toasting 2 slices of Ezekiel bread ( or whole-grain or gluten-free bread of choice) until golden brown and crispy.
    2. Prepare the Base: Spread a generous layer of peanut butter over each piece of toast, followed by a layer of creamy cottage cheese.
    3. Add Toppings: Arrange fresh berries on top of the cottage cheese. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired.
    4. Season: If using, sprinkle with flax seeds or sunflower seeds. Chocolate chips are a great option for enjoying this toast as a snack.
    5. Serve: Enjoy immediately as a sweet breakfast.

    Variations


    There are many ways to switch up this peanut butter cottage cheese toast recipe and make it yours. Here are a few options:

    • Fresh Fruit: Use different fruits like blueberries or banana slices as a topping.
    • Nut Butter: Try crunchy instead of creamy peanut butter—or various nut kinds of butter for a unique flavor, like almond butter or chocolate peanut butter.
    • Sweet option: Try hot honey for a sweet and spicy touch. 
    • Cheeses: Switch it up with ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese. Or use any leftovers from my seasoned whipped ricotta with honey.
    • Toppings: Sprinkle with extra seeds or nuts on top or homemade granola for that extra crunch, or add a tiny bit of crunchy and toasted steel-cut oats. 
    • Experiment: Try different types of bread, such as sourdough or whole-grain bread. Or a slice of my lupin bread.
