Let’s make vegan toast exciting again! Whether you’re rushing out the door in the morning or need a quick afternoon snack, toast is an easy option. Dressed up vegan toast can even be a hearty meal with the right toppings. What is “grown” up vegan toast made of? Slices of fresh baked vegan peasant bread, delicious spreads and fresh, tasty toppings.

Vegan or not, avocado toast is probably on your radar. If you’re a millennial it’s likely one of your favorite things to eat and has even made its way onto your Instagram feed. #avocadotoast anyone?
When it comes to toast, the toppings are usually pretty basic and repetitive. Peanut butter & banana or plain avocado toast. Why stick to the same old toast ideas though? Toast doesn’t have to be plain and boring. Even when you’re vegan. Amp up your toast with these delicious vegan ideas from Emilie Eats.
Here are the best vegan toast ideas to make your mornings a little more interesting:
1. Banana Almond Joy Toast

This quick vegan toast idea is perfect for anyone who has a sweet tooth. Take your banana toast up a notch by adding almond, cocoa nibs and coconut flakes. You could even use these same toppings on a slice of vegan French toast. Yum!
If you don’t like using vegan dairy product you could substitute the non dairy yogurt with coconut cream. Ever tried whipped coconut cream? Add a dollop on top of vegan French toast for a healthy, mouthwatering breakfast.

2. Vegan Caprese Toast

Caprese toast is one of my favorite things to whip up for a quick, healthy breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s especially good in the summer season when tomatoes are bursting with flavor. Wondering why all these recipes are topped with toasted hemp seeds?
Hemp seeds are a healthy, vegan source of protein. They’re packed with 10 grams of protein per serving! If you’re vegan or vegetarian and struggling to get enough protein in your life try adding hemp seeds to your diet.

1) Toast your slice of bread.
2) Cut tomato into slices and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.

3. Sriracha Avocado Vegan Toast
Emelie Eats
If you’re a fan of avocado toast you need to try this vegan avocado toast! Instead of just piling avocado slices onto a piece of bread this recipe adds a spicy punch with Sriracha and a tasty crunch with nori sheets. It kind of taste like deconstructed sushi.
For even more flavor you could sprinkle a dash of soy sauce on top. Sprouts are also in season right now, making them even more delicious. If you aren’t vegan and just love toast, try adding smoked salmon on top.
Ingredients:

This vegan toast idea is great for breakfast. Instead of just slathering peanut butter onto your toast and calling it a day, this recipe adds sweetness and a seedy crunch. If you’re looking for a little extra indulgence, top it with coconut cream!
You could also use a lot of these same toppings for another take on vegan French toast. Minus the peanut butter. Unless that’s your jam. Load up on the blueberries and dates to satisfy any sweet cravings.
