INSTRUCTIONS

How to Make the Best Nutella Toast

STEP ONE: Prepare the Bread

Start by toasting your bread slices to golden perfection. You can use a toaster, or simply pop them in the oven for a few minutes.

STEP TWO: Spread the Nutella

Take a generous amount of Nutella and spread it evenly on each toasted bread slice.

STEP THREE: Top with Strawberries

Wash and slice the fresh strawberries. Place them on top of the Nutella and topping-covered bread slices, arranging them as desired.

STEP FOUR: Add the Toppings

Sprinkle a layer of oats, chia seeds, and granola on top of the Nutella-covered bread slices, pressing lightly to ensure they adhere. Feel free to add a drizzle of more Nutella if you're a true Nutella lover!

STEP FIVE: Serve

Serve your Nutella and Toast with strawberries, oats, chia seeds, and granola as a delightful breakfast, snack, or dessert.

SUBSTITUTIONS

  • Nutella - If you're looking for a different flavor profile, you can substitute Nutella with other chocolate spreads like homemade chocolate-hazelnut spread, almond butter, or even peanut butter.
  • Bread - Experiment with different types of bread, such as cinnamon swirl bread, challah, or gluten-free options for those with dietary restrictions.
  • Toppings - If you prefer different toppings or have dietary preferences, feel free to customize this toast with your favorite ingredients. Sprinkle some chopped nuts, like almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans, over the Nutella Toast. The nuts add a satisfying crunch and a nutty flavor that pairs well with the creamy sweetness of the Nutella.

VARIATIONS

  • Nutella and Banana Toast: Swap the strawberries for slices of ripe banana. The combination of creamy Nutella, sweet bananas, and the added texture of oats, chia seeds, and granola is a classic that never fails.
  • Nutella and Raspberry Toast: Replace the strawberries with fresh raspberries for a burst of tartness that complements the chocolatey Nutella (see picture below). Add your favorite fruit spread and top it off with powdered sugar.
  • Stuffed Nutella French Toast: Take your Nutella and Toast experience to the next level by creating a stuffed French toast version. Dip your Nutella and topping-covered bread slices into an egg mixture consisting of beaten eggs, a splash of milk, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Cook them on a buttered skillet until golden brown and serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and maple syrup.

TOP TIPS

Warm the Nutella before spreading for easier and smoother application.

For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle your Nutella and Toast with a little bit of honey or maple syrup. You could also sprinkle a light dusting of powdered sugar over the top.

To reheat Nutella and Toast, simply place the desired number of slices in a toaster oven on a low setting until warmed through and the Nutella becomes slightly melted and gooey.

FAQ

Can I use other fruits instead of strawberries in this recipe?

Yes! While strawberries are a delicious choice for topping your Nutella and Toast, you can easily substitute them with other fruits. Consider using sliced bananas, blueberries, raspberries, or even a combination of your favorite fruits. Choose fruits that pair well with the rich chocolate-hazelnut flavor of Nutella.

What is the best type of bread to use for Nutella and Toast?

The best type of bread for Nutella and Toast depends on personal preference. You can use a variety of bread options to suit your taste and dietary needs. If you prefer a classic option, choose a fresh baguette, an English muffin, or a slice of soft brioche. For a healthier twist, whole wheat bread or whole grain bread will work well.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes! If you follow a gluten-free diet or have gluten sensitivities, you can enjoy Nutella and Toast by using gluten-free bread. There are many bread options available in stores, such as those made from rice flour, almond flour, or a blend of gluten-free grains. Strawberries, oats, chia seeds, and granola, are typically gluten-free. However, it's important to note that not all brands or varieties of these ingredients are guaranteed to be gluten-free.

How can I make the Nutella and Toast sweeter without adding additional toppings?

Try choosing a sweeter bread variety, such as a sweet brioche, or a bread with added sweetness like cinnamon swirl bread. Alternatively, you can sprinkle a light dusting of powdered sugar over the finished Nutella and Toast. This will add a touch of sweetness without overpowering the flavors of Nutella and the bread.
