Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices whole grain bread (or gluten-free bread)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat, 2%, or non-fat)
- ½ cup fresh blueberries (or thawed frozen blueberries, patted dry)
- 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon
- Optional: 1 tablespoon granola or chopped nuts
- Optional: ½ teaspoon chia seeds or hemp hearts
- Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Toast the Bread – Place bread slices in toaster, toaster oven, or under broiler. Toast until golden brown and lightly crispy, about 3-5 minutes depending on your method. For oven toasting, use 375°F for 4-5 minutes per side. The bread should be crispy enough to support toppings without getting soggy, but not so dark it’s hard. Let cool for 1 minute if it’s too hot.
- Prepare the Yogurt (Optional Flavoring) – While bread toasts, if you want to flavor your yogurt, mix the Greek yogurt in a small bowl with a tiny drop of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon. This step is optional – plain yogurt is delicious too! If your yogurt seems very thick, you can stir it briefly to make it more spreadable.
- Spread the Yogurt – Once bread is toasted and slightly cooled, generously spread Greek yogurt over each slice – about ¼ cup per piece of toast. Spread all the way to the edges for even flavor. The yogurt layer should be thick and creamy, about ¼-½ inch deep. Use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula for smooth, even spreading. Some people like to create pretty swirls in the yogurt!
- Add the Blueberries – Scatter fresh blueberries generously over the yogurt – use all ½ cup divided between the two toasts. You can arrange them in neat rows, create a pattern, or just scatter them naturally. Press them very gently into the yogurt so they nestle in slightly and don’t roll off. Make sure each bite will have blueberries!
- Drizzle with Honey – Drizzle honey or maple syrup lightly over the blueberries and yogurt – about ½-1 teaspoon per toast. Use a light hand; the blueberries and yogurt are already flavorful, and you want natural sweetness, not sugar overload. The honey also makes everything look glossy and appetizing!
- Add Optional Toppings – If using, now is the time to add finishing touches: a light sprinkle of cinnamon (just a pinch!), a tablespoon of granola for crunch, a sprinkle of chia seeds or hemp hearts for extra nutrition, or chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts. Don’t overload – you want to taste all components!
- Garnish and Serve – If desired, add a final garnish of fresh mint leaves or a few extra blueberries on the side. Transfer to a pretty plate. These toasts look so beautiful and appetizing!
- Enjoy Immediately – Eat with a fork and knife or pick up carefully and eat like an open-faced sandwich. These toasts are best eaten within 10-15 minutes of assembly while the bread is still crispy. The yogurt and berries will soften the toast if they sit too long, so enjoy fresh!
Notes
- Yogurt Type: Greek yogurt is essential for thickness and protein content. Regular yogurt is too runny.
- Berry Prep: If using frozen berries, thaw completely and pat very dry to prevent sogginess.
- Bread Choice: Whole grain provides best nutrition, but any sturdy bread works!
- Timing: Assemble just before eating to maintain crispy toast texture.
- Protein Boost: Each serving provides approximately 15g protein from the Greek yogurt.
- Sweetness: Adjust honey based on berry sweetness and your preference.
