Beyond Butter: Our Favourite Creative Crumpet Toppings
We all know that Crumpets are a breakfast classic—crisp on the outside, fluffy in the middle, honeycombed throughout, and always a comfort on the plate as ours are 100% gluten free. These delightful morsels are the perfect base for breakfast, dessert or snacking at any time you please, so we've pulled together five creative topping ideas that will help you rediscover the joy of crumpets. These are easy to make, full of flavour, and completely gluten-free.
1. Avocado Smash with Feta & Chilli Flakes
A modern classic that’s ideal for a quick gluten free breakfast, this combo is rich in healthy fats and protein, and always hits the right note.
How to make it:
-
Toast your gluten-free Crumpet until golden brown
-
In a bowl, mash half an avocado with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice (add a hard boiled egg for extra protein!)
-
Spread it generously over the warm crumpet, then crumble over some feta cheese and sprinkle with dried chilli flakes for a spicy little kick.
2. Berries, Greek Yoghurt & Honey
This one is for the sweet-tooths out there and is often a favourite for gluten free kids. It’s nutrient-rich and naturally sweetened, making it a great gluten-free alternative to sugary cereals or processed snacks.
How to make it:
-
Toast your gluten-free Crumpets until it’s extra crispy (this creates a gorgeous contrast with the soft toppings)
-
Top with a dollop of thick Greek yoghurt (we like natural and vanilla flavoured), a handful of fresh berries and a generous drizzle of honey.
3. Smoked Salmon, Cream Cheese & Dill
It’s giving deli in the best possible way. Elevate your crumpet game with this elegant, savoury option that’s packed with omega-3s and perfect for brunches or entertaining.
How to make it:
-
Toast your Liberate Gluten Free Crumpets
-
Spread with cream cheese, add slices of smoked salmon, and top with a few sprigs of fresh dill and a grind of black pepper.
-
If you fancy a briny little twist, also add a few baby capers to really take it to the next level
4. Nut Butter, Sliced Banana & Cinnamon
A kid-friendly, energy-boosting option that is also an ideal post-workout bite for the adults. This combo is rich in fibre, potassium, and healthy fats—plus, it tastes just like a warm dessert.
How to make it:
-
Toast your crumpet (soft toasted creates a nice contrast with the crunchy nuts)
-
Spread your favourite natural nut butter, such as almond or peanut, over the crumpet
-
Layer on sliced banana and dust with ground cinnamon
-
OR If you’re feeling fancy, grill your bananas with some cinnamon sugar to add a dash of caramelised scrumptiousness
5. Tomato, Basil & Mozzarella Melt
A pizza-inspired twist that’s a hit with both adults and even the fussiest gluten free kids.
How to make it:
-
Lightly toast your gluten free Crumpet (it will crisp up more in the oven later!)
-
Top your toasted Crumpet with slices of fresh tomato, torn basil leaves, and grated mozzarella
-
Place under the grill for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
