Blackberry Ricotta Toast
Creamy ricotta and tart blackberries will have you craving this toast morning after morning! It’s an easy breakfast recipe with plenty of protein to keep you satisfied all morning, and it only takes a few minutes to make!
I don’t know what kind of magic I stumbled into yesterday but I found fresh blackberries at the grocery store for $1 per 1/2 pint. WHAT. Obviously, I had to stock up and I found myself with heaps of blackberries in the kitchen. This is a lovely problem to have because I’m pretty sure I could eat a few pounds of blackberries on my own without a problem. But instead of just stuffing my cheeks full of berries, I decided to try a little twist on toast. Lately, I’ve been switching up my breakfast and deviating from my usual yogurt parfaits and smoothie bowls. So here’s what I made yesterday.
Tips for Blackberry Ricotta Toast
- Do not make this toast in advance, or the bread will start to get soggy. It’s best served immediately.
- I prefer whole milk ricotta because it’s extra creamy, but you can use part-skim ricotta if you prefer.
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt to amplify the combination of flavors.
It’s so simple you barely need a recipe but here you go!

In the mood for more toast? Try this almond butter and peach combo!
wow that is quite a steal of a price! Anytime berries are on sale when its colder out, you gotta stock up! This looks like a yummy combo! I love having blackberries with oats and dark chocolate…so good! I made a recipe a while ago that was dessert oats with blackberries and chocolate and i made them in to a muffins…so good!
I love putting blackberries in my yougrt parfaits, or making a jam!! This looks great though!!!

This looks so good and I love the flavor combination! It’s been so long since I’ve had blackberries and ricotta cutting out dairy but as soon as I get my hands on my favorite almond milk ricotta (out of stock everywhere) I’m making this!
yum! I would so do this on a piece of my Ezekiel bread and maybe try it out with cottage cheese instead of ricotta!
Ohh I bet that would be really good!!
Sometimes the simple combinations are the best because you can really taste all of the individual flavours.
Blackberries aren’t my favourite kind to eat as is but we usually have blackberry apple crumbles during berry season using the berries growing in our back yard and it’s delicious.
Ohhh blackberry Apple crumbles sound awesome!! Yum!
Delicious! I love ricotta and need more of it in my life!

Ricotta is such a soft beautiful cheese. And those blackberries on top are just perfect.
So simple yet so perfect.
Blackberries and ricotta… what a match made in heaven! And why haven’t I ever thought of this combination? BRB going to go back this now…

Whaaa? How’d you find blackberries in December for that price? Nicely done, this looks so delicious! Sometimes the simplest things are the best, aren’t they? I’ve already had two breakfasts this morning (whoops! haha), but I’ll keep this one in mind for if I ever get as lucky as you!
I have NO idea how they were so cheap!!!
