10 Delicious Vegan Breakfast Recipes

Plant-based diets are one of the fastest growing dietary trends right now. And whatever your reason is for adopting a plant-based diet, I think we can all agree that eating more fruits and vegetables is a good idea.

I don’t know about you, but breakfast has always been difficult for me to eat. I can’t stomach the idea of sitting down and eating a big, greasy, heavy breakfast which is why I love vegan breakfast recipes.

Vegan breakfast are usually on the lighter side (compared to something like bacon, eggs and sausage) but highly nutritious, satisfying and delicious.

If you’re looking for new ideas to add to your vegan breakfast recipe toolkit, then you’ll love these 15 delicious recipes that are all easy to whip up and taste amazing.

#8 – Of course, no vegan breakfast recipe list would be complete without a pancake recipe! These Vegan Banana Pancakes from Delicious Everyday are light and fluffy and take just 20 minutes to whip up.

#9 – I’ve long been a fan of adding avocado to my morning smoothie. Avocado is full of healthy fats which are not only beneficial to your health, they’re also highly satiating which helps keep you feeling fuller for longer. This Avocado Smoothie recipe from Vibrant Plate is the perfect way to drink your vegetables!

#10 – If you’ve never made your own granola, then I encourage you to give it a try. Homemade granola is easy to make, delicious and extremely cost efficient, compared to store bought granola which can be expensive. If you’re a peanut butter fan, then you’ll love this Easy Peanut Butter Granola from Little Sunny’s Kitchen.

#11 – Buckwheat is a superfood that has a whole host of health benefits and is packed with nutrients, including potassium, iron, fiber, protein, manganese, magnesium, copper, zinc and vitamin b6.

#12 – Another easy to make but tasty granola recipe to try out is this Maple Pecan Granola from Beyond the Chicken Coop. It has just four ingredients, and if you don’t like (or don’t have) pecans you can switch them out for a different nut of your choice.

#13 – Did someone say “tacos for breakfast”? Um, yes please. These Vegan Breakfast Tacos from The Cook Report are light, tasty, easy to make and high in nutritional value.

#14 – Oatmeal raisin cookies are a popular grab ‘n go breakfast option, but unfortunately, they’re usually packed with added sugars and aren’t much than healthier than grabbing a chocolate chip cookie for breakfast. If you want a healthy, vegan alternative that isn’t packed with added sugar, then these Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies from Two Purple Figs are perfect.

#15 – Eggnog is traditionally seen as something you only drink around the holidays, but when you can easily whip up this tasty, Vegan Eggnog Smoothie from Gluten Free School in minutes, why not enjoy some eggnog the whole year round?
