Avocado toast is my go-to breakfast these days. I used to be a sweet breakfast person, eating only oatmeal with fruit, peanut butter toast or a green smoothie every morning. Then I gave avocado toast a try and never looked back! It is SO incredibly delicious, and I love how full and energized I am until lunch time. If I happen to eat something else for breakfast (pancakes, waffles, tofu scramble, cinnamon rolls…) I will often eat avocado toast for lunch or an afternoon snack because I love it so much. Sometimes I add a bunch of veggies on top such as cucumber slices, tomato slices and sprouts. Learn how to make simple avocado toast with me!
How to make vegan avocado toast
Start by toasting your bread of choice. I love sourdough bread, but often use sprouted bread as well. Use gluten free if you need to. Then cut a ripe avocado in half, pit it, and slice it thinly. I use a small, sharp knife to slice it right in it’s shell. When your bread is done toasting, scoop out some of the avocado (about 1/4-1/2 of the avocado per slice of bread) and place it on top of the bread. Leave a few slices for topping the mashed avocado, if desired. This adds more texture to the toast, but is not necessary. Mash it with a fork, right on top of the bread. This will only be difficult if your avocado is hard and not ripe. If your avocado is ripe and soft, there is no need to mash it in a separate bowl. Once you have some avocado mashed onto the bread, add a few slices on top if desired. All that’s left to do is season your avocado toast! To keep it simple, use salt, pepper and red chili flakes to taste. So, so good. Avocado toast needs to be eaten right away, or the avocado will start to brown and it won’t look appealing anymore.
