5 healthy toast toppings

You can still enjoy a slice of toast without smothering it in butter. Try our five healthy toppings for toast, crumpets or scones, and enjoy a tasty snack without harming your heart.

1. Avocado

Give cheese on toast a miss and instead use sliced or mashed avocado to top toast or crumpets. This quick snack is rich in unsaturated, rather than saturated, fats. Try a sprinkle of seeds or chilli flakes for an extra kick.

2. Mashed or sliced banana

If you love sweet toppings or you’re very hungry, mashed or sliced banana is a delicious and filling addition to scones, crumpets or toast, without adding free sugars. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon or seeds for extra flavour.

3. Berries and low-fat Greek yoghurt

For a healthier twist on the traditional cream tea, try topping warm scones with strawberries, blackberries or blueberries and a dollop of low-fat Greek yoghurt. It’s great on toast, too!

4. Pure nut butters

Nut butters, such as almond or peanut, are a versatile topping and are good on their own or combined with fresh fruit. Check the ingredients and choose the ones made only from nuts, without added salt, sugar or palm oil. If you have a food processor, you can blend your favourite unsalted nuts until smooth. Decorate with your favourite fruit, or with grated carrot to keep it savoury.

5. Chia and berry ‘jam’

Simple to make: soak around 20g of chia seeds in four tablespoons of water, mix with 150g of your favourite berries or cherries, then blend. Decant into a jar or bowl, cover and refrigerate. The seeds provide protein without the added sugar that you usually get in jam.

What can I have with eggs instead of bread?

Serve eggs alongside a weekend favorite: sheet pan pancakes, einkorn pancakes, or almond-oat pancakes. Or, serve waffles on the side: almond flour waffles or einkorn waffles. Prep the pancakes or waffles in advance on the weekend and reheat for an easy weekday breakfast side dish.

1. With Toast

Toast and eggs are a classic. I love sourdough toast. Serve a slice of buttery toast (or top with strawberry jam) as a side dish. Or make an open-faced toast sandwich: top a slice of toast with 2 scrambled eggs. Then top with arugula, chopped green onions, shredded cheese, hot sauce, or sliced radishes.

2. With Avocado Toast

Top a slice of toast with mashed avocado and a squeeze of lemon juice and salt. Add an egg scramble on top for an open-faced avocado toast sandwich (similar to this) or enjoy the avocado toast as a side dish. A sweet alternative to avocado toast is to serve the eggs on the side of peanut butter banana toast. Avocado Toast with Egg and Arugula Instead of a sunny side up egg, top the avocado toast with 2 scrambled eggs. Or serve the avocado toast as a side dish. Make This Recipe

3. In a Breakfast Sandwich

Toast 2 slices of bread (or a brioche bun) and cook bacon in the oven. Add 2 scrambled eggs and bacon to a slice of bread (and avocado slices, soft goat cheese, sliced tomato, and/or arugula if desired), top with the second bread slice. This is also an easy way to take breakfast on the go.

4. In Breakfast Tacos

Add scrambled eggs to a tortilla (make your own corn tortillas or einkorn tortillas or Siete brand tortillas is my favorite store-bought option). Top with salsa, cheese, and cilantro for a breakfast taco.
