This Loaded Avocado Chickpea Toast is one of my favorite brunch meals! Delicious, healthy and filling, this is exactly the type of breakfast that I like to start my day off with. It's super quick to make and the mixture stays good for a couple of days so you can make it ahead!
The Ingredients
- Chickpeas- The recipe is written to make enough for just 4 slices so it only uses half a can of chickpeas. You can double the recipe in order to use up the whole can or use the other half of the can to make some Crispy Roasted Chickpeas. You can also use dried chickpeas that have been cooked and cooled.
- Sea Salt
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- Red Pepper Flakes
- Avocado- To serve two people, you only need ½ of an avocado. Feel free to make a double batch for later in the week or to use the rest to make a Blueberry Avocado Smoothie!
The Method
- Add all of the ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Spread on toast and top with desired toppings.
Leftover Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you are making it ahead and don't want the mixture to turn brown, mix up just the chickpeas and spices and then mash and add the avocado just before serving.
How to Serve
Try the mixture out on your favorite toast and top as desired. Some suggestions:
- Freshly diced tomatoes
- Finely chopped green or red onions
- Soft scrambled eggs
Or try it out on sweet potato toasts!

Tips and Tricks
If you don't have a food processor (or just don't want to have to clean one), you can mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl and use either an immersion blender to combine (for a smooth consistency) or mash with a fork or potato masher. The mixture will be a chunkier this way but still delicious!
