Dress up your toasts with yogurt and fresh blackberries! Add balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, and basil for a fresh combo that’s perfect for summer.
Back when I worked in an office, I used to pack slices of bread in my purple lunchbox to toast in the break-room.
Then I proceeded to assemble different colorful combinations at my desk, praying that no one stopped by to ask…”what is THAT?”
I got that question a lot when it was lunchtime in the office.
That, my dear friends, is a Blackberry Basil Yogurt Toast and it’s fan-freaking-tastic.
Ready to take your toast game up a notch and make all of your coworkers jealous (and maybe slightly confused) in the process?
Remember when toast got cool?
I do.
The day I realized that toast wasn’t limited to a mediocre vegan butter spread over dry bread was a giant edible victory.
If you’ve never tried yogurt on toast, it’s delicious!
The creaminess of almond milk yogurt is perfect to slather on freshly toasted bread in place of avocado, nut butter, or your usual toast toppers.
I like to use an unsweetened kind like this one that’s thick and creamy without any added sugar.
Mmm.
The next step is to add freshly muddled berries on top quick-marinaded in a bit of balsamic vinegar and maple syrup.
If you don’t have blackberries on hand, try swapping them out for raspberries or blueberries instead.
Add a bit of basil on top for color and intrigue and that’s it!
This sweet and creamy toast tastes like a dreamy berry dessert sitting pretty on your favorite bread.
Enjoy these Blackberry Basil Yogurt Toasts for an easy and fun breakfast, snack, or anytime fuel.
They’re packed with protein, complex carbs, and naturally sweetened with fresh berries and maple syrup.
You can pack everything to assemble on the go like I used to, or enjoy from the comfort of your own home with minimal effort.
I love to make them for breakfast or a mid-morning snack.
Note: Muddled balsamic blackberries will disintegrate quickly, so the topping is best enjoyed fresh! Wait to muddle them until just before serving.
Enjoy!
