Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf whole wheat brioche loaf
- 2 tablespoons light olive oil or avocado oil
- 8 tablespoons unsalted almond butter
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Start by cutting the whole wheat brioche loaf into 8 even slices. Use a serrated knife for the cleanest cuts.
Pre-heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for a few minutes. Once warm, add the light olive oil or avocado oil and let it heat up for another minute.
Place the brioche slices in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd them. Toast each side for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to work in batches.
While the brioche is toasting, in a small bowl, mix the honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
Once all the brioche slices are toasted, spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted almond butter on each of the slices.
Scatter the fresh blueberries evenly over the almond butter layer on each brioche slice.
Sprinkle a little ground flaxseed and a few chia seeds over the blueberries for an added nutrient boost.
Drizzle the honey or maple syrup mixture lightly over each slice for a hint of sweetness.
Serve the heart-healthy brioche toast immediately while warm, optionally alongside a fresh fruit salad or a cup of green tea.
