I’m wondering if anyone has any good vegan breakfast ideas. I’ve always had a lot of issues with breakfast, since I hate most breakfast foods. Eggs, bacon, waffles I hate, pancakes and oatmeal are okay but always make me feel like shit afterwards. Cereal I don’t like too much. I usually either skip breakfast or eat some yogurt which do like, but I end up hating after eating it day after day so I start to skip breakfast again. So I’m wondering if anyone has any good vegan breakfast ideas that might make me a bit more excited to get out of bed in the morning and eat breakfast.
I like grilled cherry tomatoes and onions over a sourdough English muffin and alfalfa for my brekky :)
Takes like 10 minutes to make most days
I’ll just take seconds on ass please.
my life would be so much easier if I could subsist on ass
Homemade hummus on toast is a common one for me. I’ll mix in some stuff like jalapeno and cilantro or kalamata olives to make some pretty good ones.
Toast is so damn good. It’s basically double-cooked bread. Boggles the mind how that is such a gamechanger.
Plus you can freeze your shit so it doesn’t go bad, then toast it back to life for a tasty treat.
Tofu scramble with veg on toast is great Dice up whatever veg you have (think anything that would go in an omelette), fry it up with a package of crumbled tofu, add some black salt to add egginess and turmeric for eggy colour and put it on toast. A+

what do you mean they make you feel like shit?
have you ever tried overnight oats? I’ve been really into that recently - you can add yogurt to it and basically anything else to make it taste like whatever you want
I can’t eat a lot of them and they make me feel very heavy afterwards, no matter how much I eat. They also don’t seem to agree with my stomach too much, nothing horrible, there’s just a good deal of rumbling going on afterwards
I think that’s pretty common if you’re not used to eating fiber and immediately start eating foods with lots of fiber. you generally get used to it after a week or two.
idk don’t eat them if you want, but I think oats are the best breakfast. super filling, healthful, nutritious, cheap, easy to make.
healthful, nutritious
Until you have to dump a pound of sugar on top to make them taste okay
Idk I’m usually okay with a lot of beans and stuff. But oatmeal is tough
coffee
And nicotine
I like rice and kim chi with some other pickled vegetables. I usually add a fried egg, myself, but you don’t have to. Also some grits with some avocado, chili oil, and really any savory item to tie it all together goes far and keeps you full for a long time.
I’m not sure if tofu scramble falls into the “don’t like” but I have been making breakfast burritos in bulk and freezing for the week.
Make a lot of scramble, heat up a hash brown patty, saute whatever veg you’d like to include (I do mushroom, onion, and peppers) then portion it all out into wraps and place them in a baking sheet after wrapping each in parchment.
Keeps me going through the day as I usually miss lunch and it is mostly a time investment when you have a bit more which is nice because I am not a morning person
I often make a breakfast “skillet” thing. This takes about 20 minutes so you’ll have to plan around it if you have a commute.
- 1 or 2 potatoes
- 1/2 to 1 onion
- 1/2 bell pepper
- 1 portion seitan, soy chorizo, fake sausage, etc
- a couple mushrooms
- 1/2 avocado
- some fake cheese
- bbq sauce or spices (chili, cumin, paprika, etc)
- Peel and dice potatoes. Put them in frying pan over medium heat with some oil. These take roughly 20 minutes to cook, the smaller the pieces the faster they cook. Let them get good and brown, enough for them to naturally “release” from the pan, before you start flipping them
- Add salt and spices
- Dice the onion, bell peppers, mushrooms, seitan. Add to pan as you go, in the order of what needs to cook the longest.
- Once the potatoes are fully cooked, add fake cheese and avocado. Once incorporated, turn off the heat and add BBQ sauce, if using.
Any grain/starch porridge, oatmeal and congee probably being the most well-known, but it is a pretty broad and international category: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porridge
It’s also a blank canvas so you can add whatever you like, sweet or savory, heavy or light, easier on your own stomach, etc. And very easy to whip together, in bulk if you prefer
Upma or khicṛī are some Indian contenders if you want a specific palette or recipe
I like making oatmeal bakes. It’s just rolled oats, mashed bananas, (pea) protein powder, sugar or sweetener, and baking powder, then into the oven. I’ll usually put blueberries or chocolate chips in it too, and chia seeds. It’s easy to make and only takes a minute to microwave a slice in the morning. Lots of fiber and protein, and it usually lasts me Monday to Friday.
Yogurt bowls, smoothies, and fruit salads are my favorites.
Have you tried putting peanut butter and jelly in your oatmeal?
