Maui says

Salt on peanut butter toast sounds like a rounding error and is not. Peanut butter is already salty, but flaky salt sits ON TOP and hits the tongue before the sweetness does - which is what stops honey-and-banana reading as dessert at 7am.

Instructions

Knife work first, then the stove. Nothing below asks you to chop while something burns.

Before you start
  1. Slice the bananas into coins just before you build the toast - they brown within a few minutes of being cut.

Toast

Toast the bread until properly golden and crisp. Peanut butter is heavy and warm soft toast collapses under it - you want a slice with some structure.

Spread and build

Spread the peanut butter over the hot toast - it melts slightly into the crumb, which is the point of doing it while hot. Shingle the banana coins over the top, overlapping like roof tiles so every bite has some.

Finish

Drizzle with honey, dust with ground cinnamon, and finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt. Eat standing up if that is the kind of morning it is.

Make it yours

Every swap here is one Maui already knows how to make, including what it does to the timing.

Swap With Greek yogurt on the side

A small bowl alongside - adds about 10g protein and a cool contrast. Adds about 1 minutes.

Instead of eaten as-is With a scatter of chia seeds

1 tsp over the honey - they stick to it and add a little crunch.

Gluten free Gluten-free bread for sourdough bread

Vegan Maple syrup for honey

What keeps

Assembled toast is soggy in ten minutes and there is nothing to make ahead - the whole thing is five minutes. This is a make-it-now breakfast.

The Week tab: breakfast, lunch and dinner laid out on the grid, with a Sunday cook of avocado toast and black bean tacos and a Wednesday cook of a berry smoothie bowl.
A week that gets more like you Start with the cuisines you crave, your spice level, and anything you'd rather avoid. It plans around the days you actually cook, not a default Sunday. Then every dish you rate teaches Maui, so your weeks keep moving toward your taste instead of settling into a routine.
Cook mode showing a Sunday session of 3 recipes and 18 steps, with one combined prep list where garlic is marked used in all 3 recipes and spring onions are marked Korean BBQ plus Thai Basil.
Three dishes, one prep list Everything chopped once, combined across every recipe in the session. Then Maui interleaves the steps so a marinade rests while something else browns.
Maui chat: the user asks to swap tonight for something easy, and Maui offers Caprese Salad and Avocado Toast with a confirm step.
