“Hey, Will, are you hungry?”
“Hungry? Yes, I hungry. What am I going to eat?”
“How about Monkey Breakfast?”
“Monkey Breakfast! Yes! I eat Monkey Breakfast!”
K, so truth be told, I didn’t really know what Monkey Breakfast was before I started making it. It just came to me as I was racking my brain for something new, different, exciting, innovative . . . that’s not too much to ask is it?
As anyone with kids can tell you, sometimes all it takes is a fun name and a different twist on things to get kids excited about eating breakfast.
Why Monkey Breakfast? Because Will is a devoted Curious George
Directions: Take one English muffin, and fork split. Toast. Spread each half with a hearty amount of peanut butter and slice one banana onto the two halves. Serve warm.
Have you made a super easy, but kid pleasing breakfast? Share!
PS This also happens to be a favorite midnight snack for Sweetnicks.

Mmmmm… I wonder if Nutella would work instead of peanutbutter…
A kid after my own heart!
Vickan – I love Nutella, but not with this. I’ve tried it, but it was too sweet. Imagine that.
This is my daily breakfast. I was wondering about my sudden propensity to swing from trees! I add flaxseed and sliced almonds to the peanut butter for a little added health and sometimes a drizzle of local honey. I can’t wait until tomorrow morning. Ooo ooo aah aah!! My apologies; I’m a dork.
This is one of my all-time favorite breakfasts. I swap muffins around with sliced whole wheat bread, baguette, waffles, and it always tastes just as good. I call it the “elvis” but if I think he had something else he used to add, no? Besides, I like “monkey” much more!
I stumbled upon your site looking up about melamine. Your pumpkin recipes caught my eye.
I just wanted to say I too am a fan of peanut butter on whole grain toast with a little drizzle of honey.
And to ‘My First Kitchen’ I wanted to ask if you’ve ever tried ‘Naturally More’ peanut butter–(less fat, less sugar–what peanut butter should be the label says.)
I found it at Wal-Mart and it has flaxseed & flaxseed oil in it. No hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup. Just cane sugar & honey.
After it’s refrigerated it has the consistency of the peanut butter in a Reece’s cup
Delicious- the only drawback is it’s a bit difficult to spread on toast sometimes.
PS–nectarines or peaches when in season are good in place of banana’s– no honey needed!
