• Today on the ranking menu, we have butter, jam, mayonnaise, peanut butter and chocolate. Which one comes first and which one comes last? Dig in to find out.

5. Jam.

This is highly nutritious and tasty, but it comes last for me. There’s something about its level of sweetness that I find… too sweet? I like it in doughnuts though. Very splendid.

4. Chocolate spread.

Chocolate spread is great, especially if you try it with toast bread or toast your bread with it. That’s why it ranks higher for me. The flavour it brings is, ugh, delightful.

3. Mayonnaise.

People who don’t like mayonnaise and bread, wetin dey happen? Mayonnaise has to be one of God’s greatest gift to man. Combined with bread, it’s heavenly. I bless the day I tasted that combo.

2. Peanut butter.

love this so much I’m tempted to put it first, but sadly, I can’t. Everything about peanut butter is great, but we have to be honest that it is not as versatile as butter. And that’s why this beauty sits at number two.

1. Butter.

The OG reclaims its spot. I think the fun thing is that butter is that spread we will always return to despite how much time we spend away from it. And I think that’s why it stays winning.

5 healthy toast toppings

You can still enjoy a slice of toast without smothering it in butter. Try our five healthy toppings for toast, crumpets or scones, and enjoy a tasty snack without harming your heart. 

1. Avocado

Give cheese on toast a miss and instead use sliced or mashed avocado to top toast or crumpets. This quick snack is rich in unsaturated, rather than saturated, fats. Try a sprinkle of seeds or chilli flakes for an extra kick.

2. Mashed or sliced banana

If you love sweet toppings or you’re very hungry, mashed or sliced banana is a delicious and filling addition to scones, crumpets or toast, without adding free sugars. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon or seeds for extra flavour.

3. Berries and low-fat Greek yoghurt

For a healthier twist on the traditional cream tea, try topping warm scones with strawberries, blackberries or blueberries and a dollop of low-fat Greek yoghurt. It’s great on toast, too!

4. Pure nut butters

Nut butters, such as almond or peanut, are a versatile topping and are good on their own or combined with fresh fruit. Check the ingredients and choose the ones made only from nuts, without added salt, sugar or palm oil. If you have a food processor, you can blend your favourite unsalted nuts until smooth. Decorate with your favourite fruit, or with grated carrot to keep it savoury.

5. Chia and berry ‘jam’

Simple to make: soak around 20g of chia seeds in four tablespoons of water, mix with 150g of your favourite berries or cherries, then blend. Decant into a jar or bowl, cover and refrigerate. The seeds provide protein without the added sugar that you usually get jam.
