Warmly spiced, nutty, and deeply satisfying, this caramelized date pumpkin spice toast is pure autumn comfort on a plate. Crusty sourdough gets topped with pan-caramelized Medjool dates, then layered with a high-protein, creamy pumpkin spice peanut butter whip. Finished with crunchy pecans, pumpkin seeds, chewy tart cranberries, and shaved dark chocolate, this pumpkin spice toast is the perfect cozy fall meal. It’s dairy-free, packed with good-for-you ingredients, yet tastes like an artisanal bakery treat and fuels your body like a post-workout powerhouse.
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
Remove the pits from the Medjool dates and place them flat in the pan.
Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pan-fry about 2 minutes per side, until soft, jammy, and deeply golden with caramelized edges. Remove from the heat.
Toast your sourdough bread until golden and sturdy. Lay the warm caramelized dates across the toast and use the back of a fork to smash and spread them evenly over the surface.
In a small bowl, combine the PBFit Pumpkin Spice powdered peanut butter, real pumpkin purée, dairy-free yogurt, and soy milk. Whisk briskly with a fork or small whisk until smooth, glossy, and spreadable.
Spread the spiced pumpkin whip generously over the smashed-date layer. Scatter the pumpkin seeds, chopped pecans, and dried cranberries over top, then finish with shaved dark chocolate.
