Halloween doesn't have to be ALL about the candy. These Halloween toast ideas are healthy and fun!
Reasons to Love these Halloween Toasts
- HEALTHY: Common toast toppings are jazzed up to to make a fun and spooky breakfast/lunch for the Halloween holiday.
- KIDS IN THE KITCHEN: There are so many benefits to getting kids into the kitchen. These recipes/ideas are perfect for encouraging kids into the kitchen and perhaps try foods they are unsure of.
- EASY: No special skills needed, just have fun!
Ghost Toast (Ingredient Info and Process Shots)
- SPREAD TOAST WITH PEANUT BUTTER: You can sub with a spread of choice. (To suit allergies, taste or just how healthy you wish to make it) Suggestions include chia jam, honey (over 1s only), butter, chocolate spread.
- CUT BANANAS: Cut the banana in half lengthways, through the centre. Then cut each piece in half to form 4 pieces.
- ASSEMBLE: Place two of the banana pieces on the toast, rounded side up. Add chocolate chips/raisins to form the eyes and mouth.
Frankenstein Toast (Ingredient Info and Process Shots)
- SPREAD TOAST WITH MASHED AVOCADO: For extra flavour make some guacamole instead.
- CUT FRANKENSTEIN HAIR, MOUTH & EYES: Sheets of Yaka Nori (dried seaweed sheets) make this really easy and black olives slices are perfect eyes.
- ASSEMBLE: Decorate using the cut outs / olive slices. Get creative!
Mummy Toast (Ingredient Info & Process Shots)
- SPREAD TOAST WITH HUMMUS: Don't like hummus? Try a different spread like cream cheese or cottage cheese.
- CUT CUCUMBER RIBBONS: A peeler works great for this, once you have cut the ribbons, cut them in half, lengthways, to form strips. You could alternatively use zucchini (courgette) or strips of cheese.
- ASSEMBLE RIBBONS: Place the cucmber strips on the toast, overlapping in areas and leaving small spaces in other areas.
- ADD EYES: Use two slices of black olives. I like to cover one eye with a little bit of "bandage".
Spider Web Toast (Ingredient Info and Process Shots)
- SPREAD TOAST WITH PIZZA SAUCE: You could alternatively use tomato paste and flavour with a touch of dried oregano or Italian dried herbs.
- CUT CHEESE & OLIVES: Cut the cheese into a web shape or small strips that you could use to make a web. Cut the olives in half. Use one half as the body and cut slices to form legs from the other half.
- ADD CHEESE & COOK: Add the cheese pieces to look like a web (this doesn't need to be perfect as it melts together in sections anyway. Grill (broil) until the cheese is melted.
- ASSEMBLE SPIDERS: Assemble the spiders ontop of the toast.
