As they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It may not be a part of everyone’s morning routine, but it’s a meal that greatly benefits your overall mental and physical wellness, especially if you fuel yourself with something healthy and nutritious. 

Some days you may be craving something quick and simple to get your day started and others, something more grounded and fulfilling. This plant-based breakfast roundup includes a range of ideas to work with whatever mood you’re in. Get your pen and paper (or notes app) ready, and let’s dive into these delicious recipes. 

1. Chickpea Flour Mini Veggie Frittatas

This recipe makes up to 14 servings, which is perfect if you want to do a bit of meal prepping for the week or have more than one mouth to feed in the AM. It also includes an assortment of veggies like broccoli and spinach, so you’re already getting your dose of greens for the day!

2. Almond Milk Berry Smoothie

All this smoothie requires is a banana, fresh mango, frozen blueberries, frozen strawberries, and unsweetened almond milk. Enjoy it by itself or with a side of toast with almond butter. (For more plant-based smoothie ideas, head here.)

3. Vegan Croissants

Unfortunately for us vegans and plant-based eaters, baked goods usually don’t pass the vibe check. They typically include milk and/or eggs, which aren’t vegan-friendly. But with this vegan croissant recipe, there’s no being left out!

4. Vegan Breakfast Tofu Egg Sandwiches

McDonald’s McMuffins have serious competition with this mouth-watering vegan tofu ‘egg’ sandwich. It tastes just as good as the original, but offers a much more nutritious alternative.

5. Tofu Scramble 

One of my favorite go-to’s for breakfast is a classic tofu scramble. A tofu scramble can be made in a variety of ways and customized to fit what you like. Want to include spinach and mushrooms? Go for it! Want to put it on top of avocado toast? No one’s stopping you!

7. Vegan French Toast

The best thing about this vegan French toast recipe is that it requires only six ingredients – yes, only SIX! The ingredients you’ll need are non-dairy milk, all-purpose flour, vanilla, ground cinnamon, salt, and bread slices.

8. Overnight Oats

If you want to save time in the morning but still want a healthy, plant-based breakfast, then this overnight oats recipe is made for you. There are so many ways you can approach overnight oats, but this one includes bananas, chia seeds, cinnamon, almond milk, pure vanilla extract, and, of course, rolled oats. Some suggested toppings to jazz things up are granola, fresh fruit, coconut flakes, or pure maple syrup.

9. Sweet Potato Hash

This oven-roasted sweet potato hash is packed with flavor. Inspired by Mexican cuisine, it features sweet potatoes, black beans, and yellow onion with a combination of flavorful spices and can be topped with guacamole, cashew sour cream, tomato salad, or tahini sauce.
