Ingredients

• 1 loaf whole wheat brioche loaf
• 2 tablespoons light olive oil or avocado oil
• 8 tablespoons unsalted almond butter
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Start by cutting the whole wheat brioche loaf into 8 even slices. Use a serrated knife for the cleanest cuts.

Step 2

Pre-heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for a few minutes. Once warm, add the light olive oil or avocado oil and let it heat up for another minute.

Step 3

Place the brioche slices in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd them. Toast each side for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to work in batches.

Step 4

While the brioche is toasting, in a small bowl, mix the honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Step 5

Once all the brioche slices are toasted, spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted almond butter on each of the slices.

Step 6

Scatter the fresh blueberries evenly over the almond butter layer on each brioche slice.

Step 7

Sprinkle a little ground flaxseed and a few chia seeds over the blueberries for an added nutrient boost.

Step 8

Drizzle the honey or maple syrup mixture lightly over each slice for a hint of sweetness.

Step 9

Serve the heart-healthy brioche toast immediately while warm, optionally alongside a fresh fruit salad or a cup of green tea.
