Try This Simple CupofMood Recipe For Avocado Toast

I’m starting with an absolute classic: avocado toast. It’s everyone’s favorite “why does this cost $14 at brunch?” meal.

Believe it or not, this is a recipe I found from what I thought would be an unlikely source, Canva. But in looking at the recipe, I think it definitely passes the vibe test.

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of whole-grain bread
• 1 ripe avocado
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional toppings: sliced tomatoes, poached eggs, red pepper flakes, or feta cheese

Instructions:

1. Toast the bread slices to your desired level of crispiness.
2. While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
3. Mash the avocado with a fork and season it with salt and pepper.
4. Once the bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado evenly on each slice.
5. Add your favorite toppings.
6. Serve immediately.

If you’re going to enjoy avocado toast (responsibly), I highly recommend pairing it with this adorable mood-lifting mug:

And technically, at least by my logic, if it’s in a mug, it can be considered breakfast. And since this But First, Pizza Pfaltzgraff Coffee Mug is a generous size and it’s microwave and dishwasher safe, it’s the perfect #cupofmood for it. So, if you need a valid reason to have this deliciously simple CupofMood recipe for breakfast, there you go!

• 1 tablespoon pizza sauce
• 2 tablespoons shredded whole milk mozzarella

Instructions:

1. Combine the flour, oregano, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder in a microwave-safe mug.
2. Add the olive oil and 3 tablespoons water and stir until a lumpy batter comes together.
3. Pour the pizza sauce on top of the batter.
4. Sprinkle the cheese on top, followed by the pepperoni slices.
5. Cook in the microwave until the cheese is melted and the dough is crispy around the edges, about 1 minute and 30 seconds.
