Vegan Toppings for Sourdough Bread: 27 BEST Ideas!

Need some ideas for tasty vegan toppings for sourdough bread for your next mealtime? 

You’re in the right place! 

Whether you’re after a quick and easy breakfast to grab before you leave the house, or you’re having friends over for lunch and you want to impress them with something simple yet utterly delicious, we’ve got all the inspiration you need right here. 

A quick little word of warning before we get stuck in.

The majority of the toppings we cover on this list are absolutely, definitely, 100% vegan. As you’ll know though if you follow a strictly vegan diet, some items you pick up in the supermarket sometimes require a little bit of caution. 

Let’s take jam, for example. A lot of brands are vegan friendly, but you’ll occasionally stumble across one that uses gelatine as an ingredient, which isn’t suitable for a vegan lifestyle. 

The bottom line here is that it’s always worth double checking, especially if you’re not vegan yourself but you’re cooking for friends or family members! 

So without any further ado, let’s get into that list… 

The best vegan toppings for sourdough bread

1. Guacamole, chilli flakes, and fresh lime juice 
2. Marmite
3. Your favourite fruity jam
4. Marmalade 
5. Vegan mushroom pate 
6. Peanut butter and banana 
7. Sliced strawberries and vegan chocolate spread 
8. Apple compote and cinnamon 
9. Hummus and grated carrot 
10. Three bean chilli 
11. Baked beans
12. Veg hoops (these are the vegan friendly alternatively to spaghetti hoops, which perhaps surprisingly aren’t often vegan friendly due to the ingredients including non-vegan vitamin D) 
13. Rocket, avocado, and fresh lemon juice 
14. Sliced tomatoes and fresh basil leaves (rub your bread with a clove of garlic for extra deliciousness!) 
15. Quorn nuggets and baked beans 
16. Spicy dhal
17. Veggie curry 
18. Spicy tomato salsa 
19. Garlic mushrooms
20. Taco quorn ‘mince’ (with all your favourite taco toppings piled high!) 
21. BBQ jackfruit 
22. Veggie sausages and baked beans
23. Tofu scramble and hot sauce
24. Mushrooms with caramelised onions
25. Roasted tomatoes with garlic and kale 
26. Sliced falafel, hummus, and tahini dip 
27. Leftovers! 

Wondering what I mean exactly by leftovers? Well, one of my favourite quick and easy lunches is to serve up some of last night’s dinner on some toasted sourdough bread! 

Whether it was a tofu curry, a veggie stew, a lentil casserole, or a bean or sweet potato chilli, it often tastes even better the next day, and makes for a stress free lunch or even breakfast. 

If you want, you can add some fresh herbs, dried chilli flakes, or grated vegan cheese. I also like to add a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice, as it really brightens up your leftovers and the acidity can bring a lot of flavour to the table. 

Final thoughts on vegan friendly toppings for sourdough bread and toast 

Having a loaf of sourdough in your pantry is a delicious way to ensure that you’re never too many steps away from having a totally delicious meal. 

From the mega quick and easy, like fruity jam or peanut butter with sliced banana, to special indulgences perfect for a lazy weekend brunch, like guacamole with chilli flakes and fresh lime juice, there’s something for every occasion!
