    Vegan toast ideas for breakfast, lunch, or a quick easy dinner.  The topping ideas can be endless, but I’ve compiled a few ideas and combinations to get you started. If you need more ideas, I have a post for vegan avocado toast with 25 topping ideas, or try strawberry toast with roasted strawberries and cream cheese.

    Four vegan toast with red onion, cucumber, mashed banana, and strawberry chocolate.

    Start with your favorite bread, bagel, or even an English muffin.  I’m loving sourdough lately and cinnamon raisin bread would be pretty yummy for those sweet toast topping ideas.  Mix and match from the base or spread ideas, vegan toast toppings, and garnish ideas or pick out a sweet or savory combination idea from the list below.

    For more meal ideas that don't require cooking, hummus cucumber sandwich, vegan chickpea salad (no mayo), or vegan curry chickpea salad.

    Tips

    • Start by toasting your favorite bread until it is golden brown.
    • No need to measure ingredients, just add as much or as little as you want to your toast.
    • Then pick out a spread or base idea for your toast, top it with a topping idea, and then pick out a garnish from the list below. 
    Vegan toast one with pomegranate seeds and one with cherry tomatoes.

    Build your own spreads or base ideas

    • Nut or seed butter: peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, vegan hazelnut spread, sunflower butter.
    • Mashed banana (mash up a ripe banana and use it as a base, then top with toppings).
    • Chocolate peanut butter spread (mix cocoa powder with peanut butter and add maple syrup to sweeten.  If it needs thinning out, use dairy-free milk).
    • Vegan chocolate sauce (add less milk to keep the sauce thicker to use as a spread).
    • Hummus (try oil-free hummus or paprika hummus with roasted red peppers).
    • Tahini
    • Vegan cream cheese
    • Avocado 
    • Pesto

    4. Almond butter, blueberries, and cinnamon.
    5. Plain vegan cream cheese (sweetened with maple syrup if you prefer), blueberries, and lemon zest. I also have a recipe for strawberry toast with cream cheese, roasted strawberries, and fresh lemon.
    6. Vegan chocolate sauce with sliced strawberries or bananas and toasted coconut flakes.
    7. Almond butter with pumpkin spice.
    8. Date paste with vanilla mixed in or pumpkin spice sprinkled on top.

    2. Hummus or vegan pesto, sliced cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and balsamic vinegar.
    3. Toast with spicy tofu scramble or hatch green chile tofu scramble (skip the potatoes in the recipe).
    4. Try these posts for vegan avocado toast and avocado toast with tomatoes for even more ideas.
    5. Top with baked beans.
    6. Sliced ripe avocado, plant-based guacamole, or vegan avocado crema with salsa.
    7. Hummus, sliced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of sea salt or olives.
    8. Vegan refried beans and salsa or diced tomatoes.
    9. Hummus, avocado slices and/or sliced tomatoes, and coconut bacon.
    10. Garlic hummus with Everything Bagel seasoning.

    12. Hummus with avocado slices, sprouts, and crushed red pepper.
    13. Hummus and sautéed mushrooms cooked with thyme, garlic, and salt.
    14. Hummus with white beans or chickpeas, then topped with vegan parmesan or nutritional yeast.
    15. Hummus with roasted veggies and sliced olives.
    16. Unsweetened vegan cream cheese with sliced cucumbers and chives or dill.
    17. Marinara sauce with roasted vegetables and nutritional yeast or plant-based parmesan (this works well for English muffins for mini pizzas).
    18. Pesto with roasted tomatoes and plant-based cashew parmesan.
    19. Open-face sandwich with chickpea tuna salad or curry chickpea salad. 

    Serving suggestions

    The vegan toast can be served by itself as a filling meal or paired with a side to round out the meal.  For sweet toast ideas, pair them with a side of fruit, a dairy-free smoothie, or a fruit salad.  For savory toast ideas, pair them with raw or roasted vegetables, a simple side salad, a vegan spinach strawberry salad, a tofu scramble, or roasted potatoes.
