Vegan Breakfast Toast with Roasted Blackberries

This Vegan Lemon Cream Cheese Breakfast Toast + Roasted Blackberries is by far one of my favorite ways to have toast. A great balance between sweet and savory and it super easy to make! Spruce things up by adding additional toppings for a nice crunch or flavor! Gluten-free option available.

I know that breakfast toast is by far one of my the most popular ways that everyone seems to enjoy their mornings and while my toasts on a daily are usually pretty simple, I'm so excited to share this delicious version with you. I'm usually adding peanut butter to my toast along with sliced bananas for a quick morning starter. If I'm spending more time to make breakfast then a nice egg and bacon sandwich is award winning for me.

This Vegan Lemon Cream Cheese Breakfast Toast + Roasted Blackberries is definitely one to try and it's super easy. It only consists of three main components: the toasted bread, vegan lemon cream cheese, and roasted blackberries. So good!

How to Make Vegan Lemon Cream Cheese Breakfast Toast + Roasted Blackberries

In just a few short steps, you'll have the most delicious breakfast toast ---- Vegan Lemon Cream Cheese Breakfast Toast + Roasted Blackberries that'll satisfy each morning craving possible. Here's how to make everything:

First, make the vegan lemon cream cheese sauce by whipping it all up in the blender. I recommend soaking your cashews so that the sauce is easy and smooth. Then roast the blackberries by using a baking sheet, parchment paper, and a drizzle of olive oil and maple syrup and wallah. Toast your bread in the meantime.

Once everything is perfectly prepped, add dollops of cream cheese to the tops of toast followed by roasted blackberries and drizzle of maple syrup.

Ingredients for Breakfast Toast + Roasted Blackberries

For the best toast, it's all about the toppings! It’s about whether you want to load up your toast or keep it really simple. Either way, it'll be a quick fix in the morning.

Here’s what you need:

• Bread. I love using rustic bread such as sourdough, however, any type of bread works just fine!
• Maple syrup. A great natural sweetener.
• Blackberries. I love using fresh blackberries.
• Extra virgin olive oil. This is a neutral oil, but you could also use grapeseed oil.
• Vegan lemon cream cheese. Made from soaked cashews, lemon juice, lemon zest, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, water, salt and cinnamon.

How to Make the Perfect Toasts

The toast itself is pretty important in this Vegan Lemon Cream Cheese Breakfast Toast + Roasted Blackberries. You want something light enough to hold, big enough to eat in a few bites, but sturdy enough to hold toppings.

Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees and adding a wire rack to a baking sheet. I like to lightly butter each side of my bread to great a nice golden color and crisp. It takes about 5-10 minutes for things to be toasted.

How to Make Vegan Lemon Cream Cheese

The star of the recipe, despite the roast blackberries------this Vegan lemon cream cheese is such a great and deliciously smooth spread for a lot of dishes.

Here's What You Need:

• 1 cup raw cashews, soaked
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• ½ cup filtered water
• Pinch of ground cinnamon

The Best Bread for Breakfast Toast

A crusty rustic bread is perfect bread for these breakfast toasts. They are naturally thin, so the slices end up being perfectly sized. They are light and airy, so the toast is not too dense upon biting. Because of the large air pockets in the bread, they make for a lovely mouthfeel. Lastly, they have a heavy crust which helps to hold up toppings as well. Here's the best breads:

• sourdough
• challah
• ciabatta
• semolina bread
• baguettes

Storage for Vegan Lemon Cream Cheese

Leftover cream cheese can be stored in an airtight container or jar and refrigerated for up to 2-3 days. Stir to smoothen when ready to use.

Ingredient Swaps and Substitutions

Here are a few simple swaps in case you don’t have every ingredient on the list:

• Use another neutral oil (coconut oil, grapeseed oil, etc.) instead of olive oil.
• Swap blackberries with strawberries, grapes, blueberries, etc. They all stated great roasted.
• Use almond slices, other chopped nuts, nut butter, etc. as topping.
• Add additional flavor with balsamic vinegar
