It seems like lately, I just can’t get enough peanut butter in the mornings. It’s all I’m craving! So it should come as no surprise that today’s breakfast is an exact replica of yesterday’s.
The only difference in today’s combo was some raisins.
Too bad I hadn’t thought about it yesterday…it was a nice little touch! 
Along with my English muffin was a festive mug-o-joe. Yup, I brought out the Easter decorations! Why not, right? They’re cute.
As I was enjoying this morning’s English muffin, I couldn’t help but notice the difference between the top and the bottom. All my life, I’ve always saved the top of the English muffin for last because it’s my favorite.
I like how the top always seems to be a bit “plumper,” whereas the bottom half usually ends up being hollowed out.
However, when it comes to bagels, I like saving the bottom for last, yet I really have no particular reason why? Hey, I guess maybe I’m just a weirdo…
orrrr maybe not…let’s see what you guys think! 
Question for the Day:
Which half do you like better for English muffins and bagels – Top or Bottom??

I like the bottom because it gets crispy from the toaster! I like a good crunch to my breakfast!
I like the top, it’s fluffier
And you just made me so hungry. I need to not read food blogs before lunch.. ugh.

This is so funny…I am exactly the same. Top for muffins, bottom for bagels!!! (Now I want a PB one of each!!)
I always save the top for last because it is fluffier…same as you!

I eat whichever half is thicker last-yum!
I’m not a huge english muffin person, but with bagels, I ALWAYS save the bottom for last! It tends to be denser and since I cream-cheese it first, it usually gets the more generous schmear of the goods!

Haha, I thought I was a huge weirdo because I will never ever eat the top first. I also find myself doing it with sandwich thins, even though there is not really a difference.

Top is definitely better, I agree. Though I’ll take a bagel over an english muffin any day- way carbier. YUM

I just can’t get enough peanut butter this week too! I’ve been having it with my oats every morning!
I like the top halves of bagels better just because they seem to be crispier? Esp if they have toppings. As for English muffins I’ve never had a preference.
My picks:
Top of the English Muffin
Bottom of the Muffin (yes, the bottom)
Top of the bagel.
Top of the cupcake (hell, skip the cupcake and just give me frosting!)
I like your style.
Yummy!!! Love the addition of raisins! I like the top the best!! ESP when I get a bagel from einsteins bc I don’t like the things they put on the bottom.

I save the bottom because it’s always a little bigger!

I’m a top half person – it seems to be fluffier – but really anything smothered in PB and topped with banana is good with me.
bottoms of course – they are bigger!!

The tops get saved for last, always! Especially with bagels! I’m a bit of a bagel snob though – in high school I worked at a coffee/bagel shop that made their own bagels, and they are AMAZING, but my favorite bagels were the Tillamook cheese bagel, or the Asiago Spinach bagel and both had cheeses melted on top during baking, so clearly the top was the best half! I will forever love bagels, YUM!
Well, well, I never thought of the raisin idea before. I’m so going to steal that from you.
Oh…and the top. For sure.

Oh, I save the top for last – no question about it!
Colleen @ The Lunchbox Diaries recently posted..Where the Heck did Tuesday Go!
I’m the same way! Love the tops of the muffins because their thicker & softer, whereas I like the bottom of bagels because its thicker/bigger!
I’m totally with you on that one!! Love love the top of english muffins. They’re so much more fluffier and doughier than the bottom. I’ve even before made a sandwich with both tops and gave the bottoms to my hubby! Haha! Same with bagels, love the top better!
I like the tops of english muffins best because they’re less crusty and don’t have the corn meal on the bottom. As for bagels, I like the bottom too!!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey recently posted..the crazy thing i she did
ohhh I think the top of the bagel is the best! Especially if it’s an “everything” bagel because then you get more seasoning!!! YUM!

I don’t think I’m that picky about the top or bottom of an English muffins, but I actually prefer the top of a bagel!

I like to eat the bottom first!! Can’t tell you why, just my weird habit!
Lauren @ Hungry Dancer recently posted..See ya Later Cocktails & Best Dessert
Awe, your breakfast is smiling!
I like the bottoms because of the cornmeal crust. I’m a big texture/crunch person and that totally does it for me!
I eat the bottom last because its bigger!!

bahaha, I like the bottom of both! I was just thinking about this today, too – as I ate too soon and started with the top of my bagel.
courtney @ cupcakedynamite recently posted..gymnastics mania !!!!!
I like bagels better! And with regards to which half, I would definitly choose the top bc i like the “crunch” it gives.
Kimberley recently posted..Spring Blues
I like the top of english muffins! I agree that it’s much more fluffy
With bagels, I like both sides – my problem is stopping after just one. PS your english muffin look amaazing!

Thank You! It was…simple, yet super delicious!
i like the tops for both english muffins and bagels!!! i like the tops of english muffins because they toast up nice and crispy, and the tops of bagels…because i love the roundness.lol!
Erica recently posted..quarter-year check-in
If it’s a savory bagel, like everything, I usually save the top for last, because I love the extra seasonings on top. Otherwise, just gimme anything!
Alexa @ Simple Eats recently posted..Switch It Up
I always save the top of the English muffin for last too! It’s fluffier than the bottom. As for bagels, I like the top best. I usually eat Everything bagels; the top is where all the seasoning is. Yum!
I love the top, its doughier! haha cute mug im a sucker for decorations I just love them

Lately I’ve been addicted to pb as well. I thought about eating oats with an egg yesterday,but thought that I’d miss an opportunity to eat peanut butter, so I caved and had my good old pb and oats!!!
It’s not a bad addiction, right?
Amy recently posted..Soup with a Chance of Bread
Definitely not!
I have that same breakfast almost everyday! Amazing that I never get sick of it! But I like the top of the english muffin the best for sure!
The top! It’s doughier. And I like it doughy.
Emily recently posted..An Eggcelent Dinner
i’m exactly the same way! top for english muffins, bottom for bagels.
and yeah, i’m definitely addicted to peanut butter. every day.
when eating a bagel I always eat the bottom last, weird yes haha.
And I will have to say you can NEVER have too much PB
I like the top because its usually bigger
