Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, use a fork or potato masher to mash the chickpeas until they are mostly broken down but still have some texture. Don't mash them completely smooth – we want that scramble-like feel!
- 2
Add the diced red onion, bell pepper, nutritional yeast, black salt (if using), turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Mix well to combine.
- 3
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chickpea mixture to the pan. Spread it out evenly and let it cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's heated through and slightly browned in spots. This helps develop those delicious scramble flavors and textures.
- 4
While the scramble is cooking, toast your bread to your desired crispiness.
- 5
In a small bowl, mash your ripe avocado with the lime or lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread a generous amount of mashed avocado onto each slice of toasted bread.
- 6
Top the avocado toast with a hearty spoonful of the warm chickpea scramble. Garnish with red pepper flakes and fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.
- 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant and comforting plant-based breakfast!
