Pediasure Peanut Butter Banana Toast

Venturing beyond the usual breakfast routine? This Pediasure-infused peanut butter banana toast brings a nutritional boost to your morning without sacrificing that comforting flavor you crave. It’s quick, satisfying, and perfect for busy days when you need both fuel and simplicity. You’ll love how easily it comes together while keeping things deliciously wholesome.

Ingredients

• 2 slices artisanal sourdough bread, approximately 1-inch thick
• 2 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter, stirred to incorporate oils
• 1 medium ripe banana, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
• ¼ cup vanilla Pediasure nutritional drink
• 1 teaspoon raw honey
• ½ teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon unsalted European-style butter
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place both sourdough slices on the prepared baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the surface is crisp. Tip: Toasting in the oven rather than a toaster allows for more even browning and prevents burning.
3. Remove the toasted bread from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack for 2 minutes to prevent the peanut butter from melting immediately upon contact.
4. Spread 1 tablespoon of creamy natural peanut butter evenly across each warm toast slice, covering the surface completely.
5. Arrange the banana slices in a single, overlapping layer over the peanut butter on both toasts.
6. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of vanilla Pediasure evenly over the banana arrangement on each toast.
7. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted European-style butter until it begins to foam slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
8. Add 1 teaspoon of raw honey and ½ teaspoon of Ceylon cinnamon to the melted butter, whisking continuously for 30 seconds until fully incorporated and fragrant.
9. Drizzle the honey-cinnamon butter mixture evenly over both prepared toasts.
10. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of chia seeds over each toast as a finishing touch. Tip: Chia seeds add subtle crunch and extra fiber, but press them gently into the surface to prevent rolling off.
11. Let the assembled toasts rest for 1 minute before serving to allow the Pediasure to slightly soak into the bread. Tip: This brief resting period helps the flavors meld while maintaining ideal textural contrast between crisp toast and soft toppings.

Perfectly balanced between creamy peanut butter, sweet banana, and the subtle vanilla notes from the Pediasure, this toast delivers a satisfying chew with occasional crunchy bursts from the chia seeds. The cinnamon-honey butter creates a glossy, aromatic glaze that makes each bite feel special. Try serving it alongside a cold glass of milk or crumbling it over Greek yogurt for an unexpected breakfast parfait twist.

5. Remove the pudding from the refrigerator and whisk again for 20 seconds to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.

Ingredients

• 1 cup roasted hazelnuts, skins removed
• 1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup powdered milk protein
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 2 tablespoons warm filtered water (110°F)

Instructions

1. Place roasted hazelnuts in a high-speed food processor and process for 4-5 minutes until they form a smooth, drippy butter consistency, scraping down the sides every 60 seconds.
2. Add Dutch-process cocoa powder and powdered milk protein to the food processor, then pulse for 30 seconds until fully incorporated into the hazelnut butter.
3. Stream in pure maple syrup while the processor is running on low speed, continuing to mix for 1 full minute until the sweetener is completely emulsified.
4. Add melted coconut oil and pure vanilla extract to the mixture, then process for another 2 minutes until the spread becomes glossy and smooth.
5. Sprinkle in fine sea salt and slowly drizzle in warm filtered water (110°F) while processing, continuing to blend for 1 additional minute until the spread reaches a pourable consistency.
6. Transfer the finished spread to an airtight glass jar and let it cool completely at room temperature for 2 hours before sealing.

Outrageously creamy and nutritionally balanced, this spread boasts deep chocolate notes complemented by the earthy richness of hazelnuts. The texture remains perfectly spreadable straight from the refrigerator, making it ideal for morning toast or stirred into oatmeal. Try swirling it into Greek yogurt for a protein-packed snack or using it as a dip for apple slices when you need a quick energy boost.

Pediasure Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats

Mornings just got a whole lot cozier with this clever breakfast hack. You’ll love how these overnight oats transform ordinary Pediasure into creamy, cinnamon-spiced perfection while you sleep. It’s the ultimate grab-and-go solution for busy families that actually tastes like dessert.

Ingredients

– 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
– 1 bottle (8 fl oz) vanilla Pediasure
– 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
– 1 tsp ground cinnamon
– ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
– ¼ cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped
– 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened to room temperature
– 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. Combine 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats and 1 bottle vanilla Pediasure in a 16-ounce mason jar.
2. Add 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg directly to the jar.
3. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 30 seconds until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. Refrigerate the mixture for exactly 8 hours at 38°F to allow the oats to fully hydrate and develop flavor.
5. Meanwhile, toast ¼ cup pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned.
6. Transfer the toasted pecans to a cutting board and roughly chop them into uneven pieces for textural contrast.
7. Whisk together 2 tbsp softened cream cheese and 1 tbsp melted unsalted butter until smooth and spreadable.
8. Remove the chilled oats from refrigerator and check for proper consistency—the mixture should be thick but pourable.
9. Swirl the cream cheese mixture through the oats using a butter knife to create visible ribbons.
10. Top the finished oats with the chopped toasted pecans just before serving.

Nothing beats waking up to this creamy, spice-forward breakfast that genuinely mimics warm cinnamon roll flavors.
