The Joy of The Real Thing
When we say everyone can enjoy this deliciously decorated toast, we mean everyone! Our recipe starts with a hearty slice of gluten-free sprouted grain bread, generously spread with colourful plant-based cream cheese, and sprinkled with—well, sprinkles of course!
But don’t worry. Just like all our recipes, we went the extra mile to keep things gluten-free and allergy-friendly. That’s why we used vegan, gluten-free, organic sprinkles in our version, and made sure to only use plant-based food colouring as well.
How to Make Plant-based Gluten-free Unicorn Toast
This isn’t a recipe in the traditional sense—think of it as a mood board for colourful creations to come! Make your toast as unique as a unicorn! All you need to get started are three basic ingredient groups:
Gluten-free Bread Base: Sprouted 7 Grain and Sprouted Honey Oat add a feel-good foundation of gluten-free whole grain goodness to play with, but use whichever Little Northern Bakehouse gluten-free loaf is your favourite.
Colourful Plant-based Cream Cheese Spread: Portion your vegan cream cheese and mix in a few drops of plant-based food colouring. Try different colour combinations side by side, or mix and match to make your own dreamy colour palate.
Tasty Toppings: Unleash your imagination and sprinkle with childish abandon! Measure your sprinkles by the multicoloured hundreds and thousands for extra flavour and crunch! (You can’t go wrong with sprinkles, but a burst of freeze-dried fruit also fits the bill!)
Instructions:
- Divvy up your vegan cream cheese into separate bowls and mix each portion with your preferred colours of plant-based food colouring. Use as many bowls and colours as you need to decorate your one-of-a-kind unicorn toast!
- Toast your slices of gluten-free bread.
- Spread your colourful plant-based cream cheese on your gluten-free toast in any pattern and combination of colours you desire. Use our examples as inspiration, but don’t stop there!
- Top and decorate your unicorn toast with freeze dried raspberry bits, sprinkles, or any other colourful tasty toppings you can dream up!
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- A little goes a long way! Gel food colouring is powerful stuff! Too much can alter the taste of your plant-based cream cheese, so start small. Add 1 – 2 drops at a time and mix. If it needs more colour, repeat.
- Let your inner artist out! Don’t be afraid to mix different food dyes together to make new colours.
