Are you looking for new ways to jazz up your morning toast?! Look no further! This list of unique vegan toast recipes has all the inspiration you need! From vegan toast toppings to the best vegan bread options, this guide has everything you need to take your toast game from ho-hum to yum yum!
I eat some variation of toast with different toppings almost every single morning for breakfast, even on Valentine's Day! It's quick, easy, convenient, and most importantly, delicious! My favorite combination is mashed avocado with garlic powder, cherry tomatoes, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze, it's so tasty!
Depending on what I have in the fridge, I rotate between avocado toast, hummus toast, peanut butter toast, and mango jam toast. One time when our fridge was really empty, I opened a can of baked beans and put that on a thick slice of toasted sourdough bread, and it was delicious and very filling!
There are so many variations of vegan toast and toppings to try, so I compiled a list of my favorite recipes to share with you! There's no reason to eat plain boring toast when there are so many unique variations to try.
What Bread is Vegan?
My favorite vegan bread to use to make toast is Food for Life sprouted Ezekial bread. I also love the flax version of the same brand. They are made with sprouted grains, the slices toast up perfectly after 3-4 minutes in the toaster oven, and you can store the loaf in the freezer until you're ready to eat it so you don't need to worry about it going bad since it doesn't contain any preservatives.
If you can't find this bread at your store, that's ok! All of the following brands are vegan too. However, always check the ingredient label first, because the products can change at any time.
- Arnold Oatnut Bread
- Alvarado Street Bakery Whole Wheat Bread (their onion bagels are delicious too!)

Avocado toast is my favorite, I've only ventured with sliced ham. But I def want to try the Caprese and try it with fruit (I'm not huge on fruit, but I'll give anything a try!)
I think you might surprise yourself, it's pretty yummy! =)
I had the same thought about the blackberries when I saw your photos! Who knew they were so pretty inside? 🙂 I love avocado toast, but I'm kind of boring with it. I'll definitely have to switch it up and try some of these!
I know, right?! I'm going to slice them more often now! Thanks, Crystal!
Balsamic vinegar? That sounds amazing! I have got to get some avocado trees! When we lived in southern California avocados were so cheap nearly year round, now they're a little bit pricier.
I wish we had an avocado tree! That would be a dream come true to just walk outside and pick one!
All I need now is some avocado. They all look amazing!
WOW! This looks fantastic. I eat avocados several times a week, but I never thought to pair it with toast. i always just dump it into my eggs or salad---boring! LOL.
I do that too, you really can't mess up with avocados!
oooh! This sounds tasty. I myself am a lover of avocado and will have to try these
Thanks, Erika!
