Ingredients
Select the ingredients based on which animal toast you are making:
- 1 Piece of bread toasted
- Cream cheese, avocado, or sunflower butter
- Fruit toppings blueberry, strawberry, bananas
Instructions
Bear Toast
- Spread sunflower butter on bread. Slice a banana for the ears and nose. Place blueberries for the eyes and nose.
Bunny Toast
- Spread cream cheese as the base. Use two long slices of bananas for the ears. Slice 6 long rectangles for whiskers. Use two small strawberries pieces for the eyes and one blueberry for the nose.
Cat Toast
- Spread cream cheese on the bread. This one typically requires two strawberries for the following: Two triangle ears, 6 long rectangle whiskers, and a semi-circle nose. Place two blueberries for the eyes.
Fish Toast
- Spread cream cheese on the bread. Slice small semi-circles out of a strawberry for the fish scales. I prefer to cut out about 20 small ones. Lay them on the bread and form an oval. Place a small slice of strawberry on the top for a fin and two large strawberry triangles for the tail. Use a blueberry for an eye.
Bird Toast (Parrot)
- Use 5 slices of avocado for the feathers. Cut out a triangle from strawberries for the beak. Place a blueberry for the eye.
Owl Toast
- Spread cream cheese on the bread. Slice two strawberries for the wings, a semi-circle or the nose. Place bananas and blueberries for the eyes.
Notes
Substitutions include:
- Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese.
- Wowbutter or biscoff cookie butter instead of sunflower butter. If you do not need this snack to be nut free you can use your favorite nut butter.
