4 slices gluten-free bread Shop
1 large ripe avocado
1 tbsp fresh lime or lemon juice
0.25 tsp salt
0.125 tsp black pepper
pinch red pepper flakes (optional) Shop

Instructions

1 Toast the gluten-free bread slices until golden brown and slightly crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side in a toaster or under the broiler. You want a sturdy base that will hold the avocado without becoming soggy.
2 While the bread is toasting, prepare the avocado mash. Halve the ripe avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the fresh lime or lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
3 Gently mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency, leaving some small chunks for texture. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, ensuring a bright and balanced flavor profile.
4 Once the gluten-free bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado evenly over each slice. Ensure good coverage from edge to edge for the best bite.
5 Finish by sprinkling a pinch of red pepper flakes over the avocado toast, if using, for a touch of heat. Serve immediately and enjoy this simple, satisfying gluten-free breakfast.

Tips & Notes

Zest the lemon before juicing — it's nearly impossible to zest after the lemon is squeezed.
Mash avocado immediately after cutting to slow browning; a squeeze of lemon or lime juice helps further.
Prep any wet and dry components separately the night before to assemble quickly in the morning.
