Avocado Toast Recipe with Chickpeas

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This avocado toast recipe with chickpeas {aka better avocado toast…really, promise} comes from The Well Plated Cookbook: Fast, Healthy Recipes You’ll Want To Eat by Erin Clarke. The cookbook is full of 130 recipes for comfort classics, with a spin.

The best recipe ever for avocado toast with chickpeas

What I love about this cookbook is that it not only has good recipes (hopefully a given with cookbooks, but in this case, I know Erin did extensive recipe testing), but it is packed with useful information.

Chickpea avocado toast from The Well Plated cookbook

I was drawn to all the ‘pro tips’ and ‘market swaps’ and useful information throughout.

Ingredients for the best avocado chickpea toast

Erin, the author of this cookbook, is actually one of my friends IRL (in real life). She is an amazing writer; something I tell her all the time (every time I read her site, I end up spending an hour just reading her stories)! We used to have a cookbook club (mentioned here) where we’d cook out of different cookbooks (darn you corona, I miss those gatherings) we’ll definitely have to use this book asap!

Oh, and she also has a hugely popular blog called Well Plated. I’m so excited for her and the cookbook!

How to make kid approved chickpea avocado toast

My son has always liked avocado toast. To be honest, I didn’t ‘get it’ …it’s just avocados on toast, right? I was a little skeptical. But as I was flipping through the cookbook, something caught my eye – “4 ways to use a can of chickpeas.”

How to make chickpea avoado mash

I had all the ingredients (another thing I love about the book – there are no weird ingredients, she makes a point to talk about using commonly found ingredients to create healthier recipes) so I enlisted my toddler (he loves mashing things) and we made avocado toast with chickpeas.

The best ever chickpea avocado toast

It was so flipping good!  I feel like avocado toast sometimes gets a bad wrap because it’s a ‘hipster dish’ but it’s seriously now one of my most favorite things to eat.  I’ve had it 3 times this week alone! It’s delicious, healthy and so easy to put together!

How to make the best avocado chickpea toast

You know how I mentioned “4 things to do with a can of chickpeas” above?  Well, Erin (the author of this amazing cookbook) shares the following ideas (all of which I cannot wait to make!):

  1. Better avocado toast (recipe below)
  2. Chickpea veggie stir-fry
  3. Quick chickpea pasta
  4. Tu-No Melts

The best recipe for avocado toast with chickpeas

This recipe is so good that I can’t wait to try her other three chickpea suggestions!

Kid approved chickpea avocado toast

Are you normally a fan of avocado toast?  And do your kids love it?  This toast is a great way to sneak in some additional healthy food into you and your family’s diet! The cookbook is full of amazing recipes you and your family will absolutely love, I’d highly recommend purchasing a copy of the Well Plated cookbook today!

    Quick question – I will have leftovers. How long will the spread keep in the refrigerator? Thanks

      This is like guacamole – it keeps just fine for a few days (I’d say 3) but it discolors a little – so I’d recommend adding a dash of lime or lemon juice to keep it from browning.

They sounded kinda gross if you asked me. Canned fish? No thank you.

Then I was part of a cookbook club (remember social activities.. 😭) and I cooked a recipe with anchovy breadcrumbs. It completely changed my perspective and thoughts on them as an ingredient. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now whenever I encounter someone who is team ♥️ I rave and rave at them about miraculous anchovy breadcrumbs.

They’re awesome on roasted cauliflower or on pasta 😘
