Almond Cream Ingredients















Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Make sure to use room temperature butter for best results.
Step 2
Once the butter and sugar are well combined, add the large eggs and a pinch of salt.
Whip these ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Gradually mix in both all-purpose flour and almond flour.
Be gentle when folding to avoid over-mixing; you want everything to be combined evenly.
If you do not have almond flour, you can finely grind whole almonds to create a similar texture.
Step 4
Spread the almond cream mixture generously over slices of white bread.
Next, roll the coated toast slices in sliced almonds until they are well-covered.
Step 5
Place the prepared toasts onto a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
Allow them to bake for 5 to 10 minutes until they are golden brown.
Step 6
Once baked, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top for a beautiful finish.
Serve these delightful almond toasts warm—perfect for breakfast or as a snack!

Equipment
A large mixing bowl is essential for combining your ingredients without any spills. Choose a bowl that allows plenty of space to whisk without making a mess!



A hand mixer is your best friend for achieving fluffy results when whipping the butter and sugar together. Make sure the beaters are clean for optimal performance!


Use a spatula for folding in the dry ingredients. It helps to maintain the airiness of your batter, ensuring your toasts are light and delightful.



Ensure your oven is preheated to 180°C (350°F) for that perfect golden brown finish. An oven thermometer can help maintain accuracy!



Variations
Looking for options that cater to different dietary needs? Here are some fantastic gluten-free and vegan variations that still deliver on taste: 🌱✨
- Gluten-Free Option: Replace the regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend. Check that the almond flour you use is also certified gluten-free to ensure no cross-contamination!
- Vegan Variation: Substitute the eggs with a flaxseed meal or chia seed mixture (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal or chia seeds mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water equals one egg). Use plant-based butter and ensure your white bread is vegan.
With these swaps, everyone can enjoy the deliciousness of almond toast without worry. ✨🍞
Faq
- What can I use instead of almond flour?
If you don’t have almond flour, simply grind whole almonds in a food processor until they reach a powdery consistency. Just be careful not to over-process and turn them into almond butter!
- How can I tell when the toasts are done baking?
Keep an eye on the color! They should turn a lovely golden brown. Start checking around the 5-minute mark to ensure they don’t overbake.
- Can I store leftovers?
Yes! Store any leftover toasts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They can also be reheated in a toaster or oven for a few minutes!
- How do I customize the flavor of the cream?
Feel free to add a splash of vanilla extract, almond extract, or even a hint of citrus zest to the cream for added flavor depth!
- Is it necessary to use white bread?
While white bread provides a soft texture, you can certainly experiment with whole-grain or sourdough bread for a different taste and texture. Just keep in mind that baking times may vary!
- Can these toasts be made in advance?
You can prepare the almond cream ahead of time and store it in the fridge! Just spread it on the bread right before baking for maximum freshness.
