25 Toast Topping Ideas for Toddlers

In my house, toast is very much a morning staple, but I know I tend to gravitate to the same spreads each morning, and I certainly serve the same thing to my kids regularly.

A few notes:

Feel free to use sunflower seed butter in place of peanut and or almond butter
Mascarpone cheese makes a wonderful replacement for cream cheese and/or ricotta
Fruit butters make an excellent toast topping
Almost any fruit can be cut, chopped, and sliced and placed on top of toast
Use a variety of breads to keep your meals interesting. We like cinnamon raisin, sourdough, pumpernickel, rye, multigrain, wholegrain, and brioche.
Broiling the toast can melt cheese and warm fruit.
If making multiple pieces of toast, use the broil function on your oven and a rimmed baking sheet instead of your toaster.
