Avocado Toast on Whole Grain (Printable)

Creamy avocado spread on crispy whole grain bread, ready in 5 minutes for a satisfying breakfast or snack.

# What You'll Need:

→ Bread

01 - 2 slices whole grain bread

→ Avocado Mixture

02 - 1 ripe avocado
03 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
04 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
05 - 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Optional Toppings

06 - 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese
07 - 1/2 small tomato, thinly sliced
08 - 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds
09 - Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Toast the whole grain bread slices to your desired level of crispiness.
02 - While the bread is toasting, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
03 - Add lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to the avocado. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some texture if desired.
04 - Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
05 - Top with your choice of optional toppings such as feta, tomato slices, seeds, or red pepper flakes.
06 - Serve immediately while the bread is still warm.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in five minutes but tastes intentional and nourishing, like you actually tried.
  • The natural creaminess of avocado paired with the chew of whole grains creates a texture contrast that feels genuinely satisfying.
  • You can eat it plain or pile on toppings based on whatever's in your fridge that morning.
02 -
  • The temperature contrast between warm toast and cool avocado is essential to the whole experience; waiting for the toast to cool defeats the purpose.
  • If your avocado is stubborn and won't mash smoothly, it's probably not ripe enough—save it for tomorrow and grab another one.
03 -
  • Keep your avocado halves pit-side-up on the counter at room temperature to ripen evenly and prevent them from browning.
  • If you only need half an avocado, leave the pit in the unused half, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it—the pit actually slows oxidation significantly.
