Nessy's Note
Sometimes, nothing beats a good piece of toast. And while I am often partial to peanut butter (especially PB honey toast), almond butter deserves its moment too!
It's creamy, nutty and pairs beautifully with all kinds of toppings. I've tested all sorts of combinations (and share plenty of ideas below!) but if you are looking for somewhere to start, allow me to recommend my two favorites...
Apple cinnamon (top your toast with sliced apple and a sprinkle of cinnamon) and salted date (top your toast with 2-3 chopped dates and a pinch of salt) are both simple and and absolutely delicious.
In fact, just writing about them is making me want to go and make a slice of each right now...
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Sprouted Grain Bread- Just like when I'm making high protein avocado toast, I typically opt for sprouted grain breads as they often contain more micronutrients, protein and fiber than other breads but you can use whatever you prefer.
- Almond Butter- Use whatever you like best- raw or roasted and crunchy or smooth will all work.
- Substitution: Feel free to make this toast with another nut or seed butter.
- Toppings- The fun part! Some great options are:
- Fresh fruit such as sliced apple (+ cinnamon), berries (or try making the "jam" from this strawberry peanut butter toast), sliced banana (check out this banana almond butter toast) or mango.
- Dried fruit such as chopped dates, raisins, coconut flakes or cranberries.
- Nuts and seeds such as chia seeds, flaxseed, pepitas or chopped almonds.
- Chocolate chips or cacao nibs.
My Notes for the Best Almond Butter Toast
- Make it satisfying. Enjoy your toast with a source of extra protein and fiber (see some ideas in the notes of the recipe card) to turn it into a filling, balanced breakfast that helps you stay full all morning long.
- Experiment with toppings. Try different combos until you find your favorite.

I tried the combo with the dates and it was SO good! Adding the apple version to my list as well.
