Dunkin’ Donuts Avocado Toast Copycat Recipe

This Dunkin’ Donuts avocado toast copycat brings the chain’s sourdough toast topped with creamy avocado spread, everything bagel seasoning, and a drizzle of olive oil straight to your kitchen in about 10 minutes.

It costs a fraction of what Dunkin’ charges, and you can make it exactly the way you like it.

Why I Love This Recipe

The avocado layer here is thick and a little chunky, which gives each bite something to hold onto instead of just a thin smear that disappears under the toppings.

The everything bagel seasoning does a lot of the work. Its salt, garlic, onion, and sesame seeds hit all the savory notes at once, so you do not need much else.

This is the version I keep coming back to on mornings when I want something that actually fills me up.

Recipe Ingredients

• 2 slices sourdough bread – Thick-cut slices hold up to the avocado without going soggy; a bakery loaf works best but any sourdough works
• 1 ripe avocado – Hass variety gives the richest, most buttery flavor; it should yield slightly when pressed
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice – Keeps the avocado bright green and adds a clean sour note
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt – Fine sea salt works too; adjust to taste
• 1/4 tsp black pepper – Freshly cracked is noticeably better here
• 1 1/2 tsp everything bagel seasoning – Store-bought is fine; Trader Joe’s or McCormick are both reliable
• 1 tsp olive oil – Extra-virgin for the finish drizzle; use a decent one since it is raw
• Pinch of red pepper flakes – Optional, adds a mild background heat

Variations / Substitutions

• Bread swap – Use a thick slice of whole grain or multigrain bread if sourdough is not on hand; the texture will be denser but still holds the toppings well.
• Lemon to lime – Swap the 1 tbsp lemon juice for lime juice for a slightly more tropical edge that pairs well with a fried egg on top.
• Add protein – Lay 1 or 2 fried eggs on top of the avocado for a more filling meal that takes the toast from snack to breakfast.
• Dairy-free – This recipe is already dairy-free as written, so no changes needed.
• Extra heat – Add a few dashes of hot sauce or double the red pepper flakes if you want something with a real kick.
• No everything bagel seasoning – Use a pinch each of sesame seeds, garlic powder, and flaky salt in its place; the flavor is nearly identical.

How To Make Dunkin’ Donuts Avocado Toast

Step 1: Toast the Sourdough

Set your toaster or broiler to medium-high. Toast the 2 slices of sourdough bread for 2 to 3 minutes, until the surface is golden brown with a few deeper amber patches and the edges feel firm and crisp when you tap them.

If you are using a broiler, keep the rack about 4 inches from the heat and watch it closely after the 2-minute mark, because the difference between golden and burnt is about 30 seconds under a hot broiler.

Step 2: Mash the Avocado

Halve the 1 ripe avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mash with a fork for about 30 seconds, leaving the texture slightly chunky rather than totally smooth.

You want visible small pieces of avocado, not baby food. The chunks give the spread some body so it stays put on the toast instead of sliding off.

Step 3: Spread the Avocado onto the Toast

Divide the mashed avocado evenly between the 2 slices of toast and spread it from edge to edge, pressing gently so it grips the surface. Aim for a layer roughly 1/4 inch thick.

The toast should still be warm when you do this, so the avocado softens very slightly at the base. That contrast between the cool creamy layer and the crisp bread underneath is the whole point.

Step 4: Season and Garnish the Toast

Sprinkle the 1 1/2 tsp everything bagel seasoning evenly over both slices. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you want the heat. Drizzle the 1 tsp olive oil in a slow back-and-forth motion across both slices, then serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

• Pick your avocado right – A ripe Hass avocado should feel like a firm stress ball, soft but not mushy. If yours is still hard, let it sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 days.
• Toast it last – Mash the avocado first, then drop the bread in the toaster. That way the toast is hot when you spread, and you are not racing a cooling slice.
• Keep it from browning – The lemon juice in the mash slows oxidation significantly. If you are making this for 2 people at different times, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the leftover mash and refrigerate it for up to 2 hours.
• Go easy on the seasoning salt – Everything bagel seasoning already contains salt. Taste the avocado mash before adding any extra salt at the end.

How To Store

• Refrigerate – Store any leftover avocado mash in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface for up to 1 day. Do not store assembled toast.
• Serve Cold – The mash can be spread cold on freshly toasted bread the next morning; just re-toast the bread and spread straight from the fridge.

What To Serve With Dunkin’ Donuts Avocado Toast

A soft or jammy fried egg on the side rounds this out into a full breakfast, since the runny yolk adds richness that complements the bright lemon in the avocado. A small handful of cherry tomatoes works well too, their natural acidity cutting through the fat in the avocado and keeping the plate from feeling heavy. If you want a drink alongside, a cold brew or iced coffee is the natural Dunkin’ pairing, and the slight bitterness of the coffee contrasts nicely with the creamy, salty toast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the avocado mash the night before?

You can, but the color will dull overnight even with lemon juice. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate, then give it a quick stir and taste for salt before spreading.

Does Dunkin’ use any cheese on their avocado toast?

Dunkin’s version does not include cheese. If you want to add some, a light crumble of feta works well because its saltiness reinforces the everything bagel seasoning without overwhelming the avocado.

Can I double this recipe for a group?

Yes. The mash from 2 avocados covers 4 slices comfortably. Toast the bread in batches and keep finished slices warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven for up to 5 minutes while you finish the rest.

What if my avocado is too fibrous or stringy?

A fibrous avocado is usually slightly underripe. Mash it more aggressively and add an extra small squeeze of lemon juice to loosen the texture; it will not be as smooth, but it is still usable.
