Because you can’t have enough avocado toast, here are 4 ways to make it, all vegan and gluten-free! An easy-to-make breakfast or lunch!  

I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast is avocado toast.

Somehow though, avocado toast became the stereotypical breakfast of millennials.

Now whether or not I fall into that category is another story. 

It really depends on what source you look at.

For example, The Center for Generational Kinetics claims that I am a millennial but my husband is not.

Of course, I found this quite amusing and told him that he just doesn’t get my generation. 😉

All kidding aside, whether you’re a millennial or not, avocado toast is Delicious…with a capital D!  

It’s also nutritious, versatile and can keep you fueled up all morning (or afternoon if you have it for lunch).

What are the nutritional benefits of avocados?

Avocados are packed with nutrients including a slew of vitamins and minerals, they contain heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and are filled with fiber.

But that’s just the beginning. To find out more about the nutritional benefits of avocados, check out this Healthline article.

How to Make Vegan Avocado Toast

For each of the 4 flavor variations, you’re going to start by toasting one slice of your favorite gluten-free, vegan bread to your liking.

Then, mash 1/2 of an avocado with a fork in a small bowl.

Next, carefully spread the mashed avocado onto the piece of toast.

Then, add your toppings from one of the following:

Number 1: Basic Avocado Toast

Sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste onto the avocado topped toast.

Then, sprinkle on a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.

Lastly, drizzle some extra virgin olive oil over top.

Number 2: Buffalo Chickpea Avocado Toast

Add a handful of our air fryer Buffalo chickpeas to the avocado topped toast.

You can also use our oven-roasted chickpeas or store-bought roasted chickpeas such as Biena brand.

Drizzle on some vegan Buffalo sauce.

Sprinkle on sea salt to taste.

Number 3: Avocado Toast with Arugula and Pine Nuts

Add arugula and pine nuts to the avocado topped toast.

Sprinkle on salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Lastly, drizzle on some extra virgin olive oil.

Number 4: Avocado Toast with Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Sprinkle sea salt onto the avocado topped toast.

Add sun-dried tomatoes.

Drizzle on garlic-infused olive oil. 

Tips 

• Avocado toast is best enjoyed upon preparation. It does not store or keep well.
• Mashing the avocado makes it nice and creamy and easy to spread. However, be sure to mash it in a bowl and not on the toast itself. Trying to mash it onto the toast will most likely cause the bread to fall apart (one of the “joys” of gluten-free bread).
• Want to make more than one piece? Each of the flavor variations can easily be multiplied to make additional servings. 

So, which will you try first?
