As an adult, it can be hard to get excited about breakfast at home. Anything quick and easy is often boring, but the last thing we feel like doing most mornings is making an elaborate meal or cooking anything that will force us to do dishes before 9 am. So that brings us back to quick and easy. But quick and easy doesn’t have to be boring — you just need to shop smart. And one smart Aldi shopper just shared their “godly” 2-ingredient breakfast on Reddit. It’s so simple, anyone can make it.
Godly breakfast. Found the cookie butter in the seasonal section.

This two-ingredient breakfast features a pair of delicious seasonal Aldi groceries: Maple French Toast Bagels and creamy Benton’s Speculoos Cookie Butter. Toast up the maple French toast bagels, spread on the cookie butter, and breakfast is served. Sure, it’s on the sweet side, but sometimes that’s exactly what we need to get going in the morning.

For those wondering what speculoos cookies are and what speculoos cookie butter tastes like: Speculoos cookies are a sweet, spiced, crisp cookie. They’re made with Belgian brown sugar, which has more of a caramel flavor than the molasses-forward brown sugar used in the US, and the cookies are seasoned with warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Speculoos cookie butter is a spread with a texture similar to peanut butter that’s literally made from pulverized speculoos cookies. The classic brand of cookie butter is Lotus Biscoff Cookie Butter Spread, which is made from Biscoff speculoos cookies. But Aldi now sells Benton’s cookie butter, which is less expensive than the name brand.

Trader Joe’s also sells a popular cookie butter, if you can’t find Benton’s at Aldi. But once you’ve acquired the bagels and cookie butter, you’ll have a simple, seasonal fall breakfast you’ll truly look forward to waking up for each morning. More importantly, you should remember this winning formula. Pair a seasonal carb, be it a bagel, brioche, or muffin, with a fancy spread, from cookie butter to chestnut cream to flavored cream cheese. It’s more interesting than buttered toast or a plain bagel with schmear, but just as easy, and you can rely on Aldi for having all of the fun ingredients you need to make this two-ingredient breakfast any time of year.
