Level Up Your Guac Game: This Vegan Version is EBTB-licious
Everything But The Bagel (EBTB) guacamole brings creamy, tangy, and savory flavors together in a simple, plant-based spread. This easy vegan recipe combines perfectly ripe avocado with a touch of vegan cream cheese for extra richness, finished with Everything But The Bagel seasoning, chives, and lemon juice for brightness. It’s quick to make and versatile enough for snacks, parties, and morning toast.
The vegan cream cheese softens and smooths the avocado, giving the guacamole a luxurious texture without dairy. The Everything But The Bagel seasoning adds savory, oniony, and sesame notes that transform a standard guac into something exciting and layered. A few minced chives contribute a mild, fresh onion flavor, while lemon juice lifts the whole mix with acidity to keep the avocado tasting bright.
This guacamole is ideal when you want something effortless but memorable. It’s ready in minutes and uses just a handful of pantry-friendly ingredients. Serve it with tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, crackers, or spread it on toast for a satisfying breakfast or snack.
Tips for the best results: choose avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure, and taste as you go so you can balance tang, saltiness, and texture to your preference. If you’d like it chunkier, mash lightly and leave small pieces of avocado. For an ultra-smooth spread, blend the avocado and vegan cream cheese briefly with a fork or small food processor.
Because the recipe is naturally vegan and easily adaptable, it’s great for gatherings where guests have varied dietary needs. You can make a double batch for parties or prepare a single serving for a quick, flavorful addition to your day.
🥑 EBTB Guacamole Recipe
Ingredients 🧺
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 4 oz. softened vegan cream cheese (brands like the suggested Oatly non-dairy cream cheese work well)
- 2 tsp Everything But The Bagel seasoning
- 1 tbsp minced chives
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions 📝
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
- Add the softened vegan cream cheese and mash together until you reach your desired consistency—smooth or slightly chunky.
- Fold in the Everything But The Bagel seasoning, minced chives, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasoning: add more EBTB if you want a stronger onion/garlic/sesame flavor or a little extra lemon for brightness.
- Serve immediately with chips, crackers, or spread on toast. Store any leftovers in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed against the surface to minimize browning; use within a day for best flavor.
