In honor of Mother’s Day I came up with a series of toast recipes that are so simple, a toddler can make it for their mother, with supervision and just a little adult prep! The steps are easy: TOAST, SPREAD and SPRINKLE.

BACON AVOCADO TOAST

TOAST a piece of bread.

SPREAD mashed avocado on top.

SPRINKLE with bacon bits.

Note: Consider adding a dash of lemon juice and salt to the mashed avocado. The lemon will keep it from browning as fast.

STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM TOAST

TOAST a piece of bread

SPREAD with soft cream cheese

SPRINKLE with finely diced fresh strawberries.

Notes: To make it easy an adult should prep the strawberries by dicing it beforehand. If mom has a sweet tooth, consider stirring in some powdered sugar with the softened cream cheese before spreading. Little miss 3 loved making this toast and also ate the whole thing!

APPLE CRISP TOAST

TOAST a piece of bread.

SPREAD with applesauce.

SPRINKLE with your favorite cinnamon-tinged granola.

Notes: This was my husband’s favorite toast variation. If your granola doesn’t taste like cinnamon, throw in a dash and stir with your granola before sprinkling on the toast.

EVERYTHING BAGEL TOAST

TOAST a piece of bread.

SPREAD with softened cream cheese.

SPRINKLE with everything bagel seasoning.

Notes: My mom found this seasoning at Trader Joe’s. Once you have it in your pantry you may find yourself wanting to throw it on everything!

PINA COLADA TOAST

TOAST a piece of bread.

SPREAD with apricot-pineapple preserves.

SPRINKLE with coconut chips.

Notes: Consider adding some crushed pineapple on top of the apricot-pineapple preserves so it gets a stronger pineapple flavor. I tried using straight up crushed pineapple and it made the toast soggy.
