Recipe for Avocado Toast with Toppings 🥑🌾

Yes, the toast is real, and it’s my favorite way to eat either sourdough bread or avocado. And sprinkling toppings like flax and chia make it just that much better. I did use the AI editor in Photo Studio Pro to replace the paper towel under the original toast picture and add a couple slices of bacon to the plate. It sure picked a pretty plate to put underneath.

I have a variety of toppings I use, so I’ll list them all with links to Walmart and Amazon (the latter being affiliate links) to make it easier for you to create your own gourmet toast creations. I think I took this picture before I started adding dry oatmeal to the mix, but that makes a great topping for both flavor and fiber.

Ingredient Ideas:

• Artisan Sourdough Bread (Marketside at Walmart is my usual.)
• Wholly Avocado spread (or Wholly Guacamole if you want spice)
• Butter (yes, I put some butter on before adding the avocado spread).
• Organic oatmeal (I like Nature’s Path Superspeeds and Grains)
• Barlean Flax, Chia, Coconut Seed Blend (see note at the bottom for their sweeter digestive mix info).
• Everything But the Avocado Toast Topping by Gustus Vitae (and this one is better with unflavored oatmeal and plain Barlean).

Instructions:

• The artisan loaves of sourdough seem to have more of the sourdough yeast in them, but they don’t fit in my toaster. So, step 1 is to choose one of the larger slices and then cut the bread in half.
• Toast the bread to your preferred doneness.
• Spread a thin (or thick if you prefer) coating of butter or margarine for moisture and flavor.
• Spread the avocado over the butter. To me, the amount in one serving cup of Wholly Avocado is exactly right for splitting between two half slices of bread. When I used two whole slices and just trimmed off what didn’t fit in the toaster, the ratio of avocado to toast didn’t seem as perfect to me.
• If you use the Gustus Vitae seasoning, it includes some salt, but if not, you may want to sprinkle a little sea salt on the topped toast before adding the looser toppings.
• Add the regular Barlean seed mix if you’re using the unflavored oatmeal and/or the Everything seasoning. And this goes great with a savory dish like eggs—and bacon.
• Enjoy this as its own meal or as an addition to a yummy breakfast.
• NOTE: If you leave off the avocado and other seasonings, Barlean has a delicious seed mix with cinnamon added that gives just a hint of sweetness to buttered toast. (Barlean Flax, Chia, Coconut, Pumpkin, and Quinoa Seed Blend.) It goes well with either plain or some sweet-flavored oatmeal like the “100 Calorie Pack Maple and Brown Sugar” mix by Better Oats. (Or the Apple and Cinnamon or the Cinnamon Roll.) And it’s even fewer calories since you’re not putting an entire package of the oats. This toast combo goes so well with a fresh banana that it’s my other go-to breakfast.

So there you have it; breakfast or late night snack, it’s a winner. And then there are the benefits of the natural yeast in sourdough. For me, sourdough bread has helped support better digestive health, and I noticed huge improvements after years of dealing with excessive candida from post-surgery antibiotics.
