Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Butter
- 1/4 cup Pure Blends plant-based butter (avocado oil or coconut oil based)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/16 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)
Breakfast Fig Toast
- 8 slices sourdough bread
- 8-10 fresh figs, sliced into rounds
- Roasted pistachios, crushed, about 2 tablespoons
- Flaky sea salt, to taste
- Fresh mint, finely chopped, about 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Butter: In a sealable container or small bowl, whisk together the plant-based butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, maple syrup, and optional cardamom until smooth and well combined. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or spices as desired. Seal the container and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Toast the Bread: Toast the sourdough slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown and crisp to your preference.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread approximately 1/2 tablespoon of the prepared cinnamon butter evenly onto each toasted slice.
- Add Toppings: Arrange sliced fresh figs on top of each buttered toast slice.
- Finish with Garnishes: Sprinkle crushed roasted pistachios, flaky sea salt, and finely chopped fresh mint over the figs to add texture and a burst of flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the combination of creamy, sweet, and fresh elements.
Notes
- Use ripe figs that are soft and fragrant for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Pure Blends plant-based butter can be substituted with any vegan butter you prefer.
- If cardamom is unavailable, omit or substitute with a pinch of nutmeg for a similar warm spice note.
- Roasting your own pistachios enhances their flavor but pre-roasted nuts also work well.
- Flaky sea salt adds a nice contrast to the sweetness; feel free to adjust the amount to your taste.
