The image of an actual piece of toast is using up a lot of colors in the GIF's indexed color palette, meaning that the rest of it needs to use dithering to express the colors. If the toast were replaced with a solid color (for the GIF only), the GIF would look better and probably have a smaller file size.

@ZevEisenberg Tried a different header image but still got dithering. Could it be the ffmpeg settings? raisin-toast-6plus2

Yes. Some time let me take a crack at the original video file in Photoshop. It gives you really good control over GIF export settings. ffmpeg might as well, but in Photoshop you get real-time, interactive feedback.
