One of the big questions to most working parents is to serve a healthy and quick breakfast to their kids and also for themselves. One of the most common requests I get via Facebook and emails is to post video recipes on quick healthy breakfasts and quick healthy snacks. Honestly, it is not a different situation in my home as well. My husband has to leave for work early in the morning, so most mornings I fall back to the bread toast recipe. But I try to vary it by preparing rava toast, cheese toast, besan bread toast, or just plain toast with strawberry jam. The other easy option I follow is to prepare dosa batter or idli batter in bulk. With these options I somehow try to manage and have healthy, yet quickie breakfasts.

While it is one of the easiest bread toast recipes, here are some easy tips and suggestions for a savory bread besan toast recipe. Firstly, toast the bread on low flame, else besan will not get cooked from the inside. Once it is cooked, it may get a burnt and crisp texture. But it does not mean it cannot be consumed. Also, add vegetables of your choice to make the bread toast more healthy and tasty. You may need to finely chop the vegetables to make it a complete meal. Finally, add a tsp of rice flour/corn flour to the besan batter to make besan toast crispy. It is optional and you may ignore it if you like the besan texture.
