Equipment
- 1 Toaster
Ingredients
- 1 slice sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- ¼ cup fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon raw honey or to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread for Toasting: Begin by selecting a fresh slice of sourdough bread. Sourdough is an excellent choice for this recipe because of its chewy texture, crisp crust, and subtle tangy flavor, which pairs beautifully with nut butter and fruit. If you don’t have sourdough on hand, any sturdy bread like whole wheat, multigrain, or even a bagel can be used. Place your bread slice into a toaster and toast it to your preferred level—lightly golden for a softer bite or deeply browned for extra crunch. Make sure the bread is firm enough to hold the toppings without becoming soggy.
- Spread the Almond Butter Evenly: Once the bread has finished toasting, carefully remove it from the toaster. Place it on a flat plate or cutting board so it’s easy to work with. Using a butter knife or small spatula, spread 2 tablespoons of almond butter generously over the surface of the toast. For the best results, let the almond butter soften at room temperature beforehand so it spreads smoothly. Make sure to cover all the edges of the bread, ensuring every bite has a creamy, nutty flavor. Almond butter adds protein, fiber, and healthy fats that will keep you full and energized.
- Drizzle Honey for Natural Sweetness: Next, add a touch of natural sweetness by drizzling raw honey over the almond butter layer. Hold a spoon or small honey dipper above the toast and slowly drizzle the honey in a zigzag or circular motion. This helps distribute it evenly across the surface. The honey not only enhances the flavor with a delicate floral sweetness but also balances the richness of the almond butter. If you prefer a lighter sweetness, use just a teaspoon; if you like it sweeter, feel free to add a bit more.
- Add Fresh Blueberries on Top: Now it’s time for the fruity finishing touch. Sprinkle ¼ cup of fresh blueberries evenly over the honey-drizzled almond butter. For the best presentation, spread the berries so each bite has a combination of nutty, sweet, and juicy flavors. Blueberries are a powerhouse of antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber, making this toast both delicious and highly nutritious. If your blueberries are very large, you can slice them in half to help them stick better to the toast.
- Serve Immediately and Enjoy: Once all the toppings are in place, your toast is ready to be enjoyed. This recipe is best eaten right away while the bread is still warm and crisp, the almond butter is soft and creamy, and the blueberries are fresh and juicy. Serve it as a quick breakfast with a cup of tea or coffee, or as a nourishing afternoon snack. If you’re preparing this for guests or meal prep, you can make multiple slices at once and arrange them beautifully on a platter.
Notes
- Any type of sturdy bread works—whole wheat, multigrain, rye, or even a bagel.
- Use smooth or crunchy almond butter depending on your preference.
- Blueberries can be swapped with other fresh fruit like raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, or banana slices.
- Raw honey adds natural sweetness, but maple syrup or agave nectar are great alternatives for a vegan version.
- Enjoy the toast immediately for the best texture and flavor.
