Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the slices of whole-grain bread on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil using a pastry brush.
Toast the bread slices in the oven for about 5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth but chunky.
Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the avocado and mix it in to prevent browning.
In another bowl, combine the cooked crab meat with the remaining lemon juice, chopped red onion, cilantro, black pepper, and garlic powder. Gently mix until well combined.
Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
Spread a layer of avocado onto each slice of toast.
Top each slice with an equal amount of the crab mixture.
Add halved cherry tomatoes to each toast for an additional burst of flavor and color.
Drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil for extra richness if desired, and serve immediately.
