Some mornings, life feels a little… meh. You roll out of bed, and the idea of another boring toast or cereal just doesn’t cut it. That’s when my Nutella and Raspberry Toast recipe swoops in like a superhero in a jar of chocolate spread. Seriously, this recipe is like giving your morning a big, sweet hug—with a bit of fruity flair for good measure.
The first time I made this, I was in desperate need of comfort food. You know, one of those days when even my coffee felt uninspired. But then, with a piece of toast, a dollop of Nutella, and a handful of raspberries, I created a mini masterpiece. I took one bite, and suddenly, all felt right with the world again. That’s the magic of this toast—it’s indulgent enough to feel like a treat but easy enough to whip up in minutes.

How to Make Nutella & Raspberry Toast
Here’s the play-by-play for breakfast greatness:
- Toast it up: Choose your favorite bread and toast it until it’s golden brown and crispy. Trust me, a good base makes all the difference.
- Spread the love: Generously slather Nutella across your toast. And I mean generously. No skimping here—this is a judgment-free zone.
- Add the berries: Scatter fresh raspberries on top. If they roll off, just pop them into your mouth (chef’s perks, right?).
- Crunch it up: Sprinkle crushed almonds or hazelnuts over the top for a bit of texture.
- Optional magic: Add a pinch of sea salt to make the chocolate flavor pop. If you’re feeling fancy, a dusting of powdered sugar wouldn’t hurt.
Variations to Make It Your Own
- Out of raspberries? Strawberries, blueberries, or banana slices are equally delicious.
- Want extra crunch? Add granola, shredded coconut, or even crushed pretzels.
- No Nutella? Try almond butter with a drizzle of honey and cocoa powder.
- Dairy-free? Use a vegan chocolate spread or whip up a cacao-avocado blend (yes, it’s a thing, and yes, it’s amazing).
Pair It With…
I love pairing this toast with a strong cup of espresso or a creamy iced latte. For a more filling breakfast, a side of Greek yogurt is perfect—it balances the sweetness and adds a protein punch.
And let’s not forget the vibe. Whether you’re savoring this on a lazy Sunday morning or sneaking a slice between Zoom calls, this toast will make your day feel a little brighter.
