Sunflower Seed Butter Toast

Ingredients

Scale

Here are the simple, wholesome components you’ll need to create the perfect base for your sunflower seed butter toast masterpiece.

  • 2 Slices of Hearty Bread: The foundation of your toast. Choose a sturdy, high-quality bread like whole-wheat, sourdough, multigrain, or a thick-cut gluten-free loaf that can hold up to the toppings.
  • 4 Tablespoons of Sunflower Seed Butter: The star of the show. Opt for a brand that is creamy or crunchy based on your preference, ideally one with minimal added sugars or oils for the purest flavor and best nutritional profile.
  • 1 Teaspoon of Honey or Maple Syrup (Optional): A touch of natural sweetness to balance the earthy flavor of the sunflower seeds. Use pure maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • Pinch of Flaky Sea Salt (Optional): This small addition elevates all the flavors, creating a delightful contrast between sweet, salty, and nutty.
  • Toppings of Choice: This is where you can get creative! Sliced bananas, fresh berries, chia seeds, hemp hearts, or cinnamon are all excellent starting points.

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to assemble a delicious and satisfying slice of sunflower seed butter toast in just minutes.

  1. Toast the Bread: Place your slices of bread in a toaster, toaster oven, or under a broiler. Toast them until they are golden brown and firm to the touch. The ideal toast is crispy on the outside but still has a slight softness in the center.
  2. Spread the Butter: As soon as the toast is ready, while it’s still warm, generously spread the sunflower seed butter evenly from crust to crust. The warmth from the toast will soften the butter slightly, making it easier to spread and enhancing its aroma.
  3. Drizzle and Sprinkle: If using, drizzle your honey or maple syrup over the sunflower seed butter. Follow with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt. This combination creates a perfect flavor base.
  4. Add Your Toppings: Immediately layer on your desired toppings. Whether it’s sliced fruit, seeds, or spices, adding them while the toast is warm will help them adhere slightly and meld with the other flavors. Serve immediately and enjoy.
