Turn oven to broil.
Using a pastry brush, dab the bread slices with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder. Broil the bread slices for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining olive oil (about ΒΌ cup) with the seeded tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and half of the garlic. Set aside to let flavors mingle together.
In a separate bowl, mash the avocado. Mix in the remaining garlic, lemon juice, half of the basil, salt and pepper.
Spread each baguette slice with 1-2 tablespoons of avocado mixture. Evenly divide the tomatoes among the avocado toasts. Sprinkle with remaining basil and additional flake salt if desired.
