Start by toasting your whole grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy. This will provide the perfect base for your creamy toppings.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chickpeas, kosher salt, and lemon juice. Use a fork to mash them together slightly, ensuring some chickpeas remain whole for texture.
In another bowl, add the peeled avocado. Mash it with a fork until smooth, but still slightly chunky for a delightful texture.
Mix the mashed avocado with the chickpea mixture. Stir in the chopped cilantro, adjusting seasoning to taste.
Spread a generous layer of the chickpea and avocado mixture onto each slice of toasted bread.
Top with additional cilantro if desired, and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy your wholesome Chickpea Avocado Toast!
