Keto Avocado Toast is a gluten-free replacement for regular avocado toast. This recipe is made with low-carb bread, avocado, and topped with smoked salmon and capers. Creamy avocado on toasted bread is the perfect breakfast, light lunch, or snack any day of the week.

This avocado toast recipe wouldn’t be complete without the perfect keto bread. You can easily make the bread yourself with 90-second keto bread or my almond flour bread recipe.

How to pick the best avocados

Storing avocados:

Store avocados separately from the bread. Try to only cut open as many avocados as you’re going to use right away. When they’re exposed to air, they turn brown quickly.

You can keep whole, uncut avocados in a cool, dry place until they’re ripe.

If you have cut or mashed avocado, cover it with plastic wrap in an airtight container and place it in the fridge for up to three days.

Add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to help prevent the avocado from turning brown as well.

 

Storing bread:

If you plan on using your bread within a week, you can keep it on the counter at room temperature as long as it is shelf stable. Some breads (especially gluten-free, dairy-free ones) don’t contain preservatives and can only be stored at room temperature for a few days before they start to mold.

Keep the loaf in the refrigerator if you will eat it within two weeks.
