Ingredients
2 slices of whole-grain bread
½ cup ricotta cheese
½ cup pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ cup toasted pecans
A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Toast the whole-grain bread slices until golden brown and crisp.
- In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, pumpkin puree, honey, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Spread the pumpkin-ricotta mixture generously over the toasted bread slices.
- Top with toasted pecans and a pinch of sea salt.
- Drizzle with additional honey, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, swap the ricotta cheese with a plant-based ricotta or a nut butter like almond or cashew butter.
Add a drizzle of maple syrup instead of honey for a deeper, caramel-like sweetness.
If you want extra warmth, sprinkle some cinnamon on top, in addition to the pumpkin pie spice.
For more texture, try adding fresh fruit like sliced apples or pears to the toast.
Make it savory by adding a dash of ground black pepper and a sprinkle of feta or goat cheese on top.
