Just because you're vegan doesn't mean breakfast is limited to smoothies, oatmeal, or energy bars. You're not limited to chia pudding, granola, or peanut butter toast either. (Sorry smoothies, I like you too, remember that time I made 10 vegan dessert smoothies... yeah, see I still like you. Just not today).
Today, I want big, hearty vegan breakfasts. I'm talking breakfast burritos, pancakes, quiche, breakfast sandwiches, waffles, scrambles, french toast, and all things to make an epic vegan morning feast.
I asked around the vegan blogging community for their best breakfast recipes, and boy did they deliver!
So brew some coffee, and make room in your belly, because this collection of recipes is going to make you HUNGRY!

Richard Tunner says
Mmmmm, I love vegan bacon! Excited to try with Tempeh!! So funny for me to think of polenta and tempeh being together in a dish, but this one looks like it really works:) Yum!
Rimmy says

Roxanne says
Thank you for posting all these ideas. Going to try every. single. one!!
Sam Turnbull says
Awesome!
Ava says
I was curious. Would these recipes work well if reheated? I would like to try something to take to work and heated on a break.
Maureen says
I'm anxious to try a couple of breakfast recipes I have found on here, but may I suggest that you try to find a way to put a picture of the dish on the form when you click on it to print it out. I am a very visual person, and when I'm looking for something to make that looks good to me, I want to see a picture of it, not just the printed recipe. Just a thought.
Sam Turnbull says
Hi Maureen, this post is a collection of recipes from my blogging friends across the web. I can't control what they do with their recipes on their sites, but on my blog here at itdoesnttastelikechicken.com there is always a picture included when you print out the recipe. You can see my full recipe index here. Enjoy!
Freja says
Finally some breakfast recipes without sugar ❤️. I mean I don't mind sugar but I much prefer salty food anyway . Thank you!
Sam Turnbull says
So happy you enjoy!
Jessica says
I had no idea my mouth could water so much! I’m so excited to try these recipes!

Carolyn says
I love your site, Sam! Your spirit is infectious and has inspired me to give veganism another try. (I've been a vegetarian for 30 years but have never been brave enough to give up cheese!) Also, I'm really impressed how you include posts from other foodies. You are very gracious! It's so helpful to have a community of inspiration to draw from. Look forward to reading more from you!
Sam Turnbull says
Thanks so much, Carolyn! Thrilled you are inspired to try veganims. So happy you found me. I hope you enjoy many recipes! 😀
matei denisa says
Do you still have the links for no. 20 and 23? It looks like they are missing
Sam Turnbull says
Sure do! They have been updated.
Aylin Velez says
I just tried the breakfast hash! Absolutely delicious, by the way. I'm starting on veganism and breakfast was my most difficult meal... until today! Thanks so much for sharing this amazing list. I will try all of them (not at once, of course,ha ha)
Sam Turnbull says
So happy you like the recipes, Aylin! I have a whole chapter on vegan breakfast recipes in my cookbook as well 🙂
amanda renny says
All the dishes looks so amazing. Recipes are so easy, I will definitely try all of these recipes one by one. I tried 2 recipes and they were awesome. Please bring some more posts on vegan recipes.

Sam Turnbull says
You are most welcome Mallory! I hope you enjoy them 🙂
Phantom says
These all sound so good! I am just entering into veganism and am on the lookout for all sorts of recipes (I have to be careful with nuts and legumes though, which adds an extra interesting challenge to it all! :p ). While I can't make all of these exactly as written out, this was a great source of inspiration. Thank you!! ♥ ♥ ♥
Sam Turnbull says
You're so welcome, Phantom! Let me know if you ever have any questions or need any support on going vegan 🙂
Kimberly Howell says
Thia is great! I am new to the vegan world. I will definitely be trying these recipes for sure!
Sam Turnbull says
I hope you love them Kimberly!
Sam Turnbull says
Hi JOJO, I'm sorry to hear you are having difficulties. I actually don't allow any pop-up ads on my site, so it sounds like you might have some adware on your browser (something you could have accidently gotten similar to a virus). Maybe this tutorial could help you remove it so you can enjoy your browsing experience. Hope that helps!
Monique says
Ha! I love the title of this post because I find myself telling people to eat oatmeal and drink smoothies for breakfast since I usually do. lol
I need to add some of these recipe ideas. Thanks!
Sam Turnbull says
Haha! So glad I could help 🙂
Michelle says
Love this list Sam. There are several things I will be trying. To bad I had dinner already. ha ha
Sam Turnbull says
Haha!! Too bad indeed! I hope you love whatever recipes you decide to try 🙂
Bethery says
The links are working for me, and I live on an island where connectivity is difficult. Sam, this may be the best list I've ever seen. I'm going to try the ones I haven't already tried. YUM.
Sam Turnbull says
So glad the links are working! I really didn't know what else I could try doing. So happy you love the list Bethery! Let me know if you ever have any list ideas, I am going to try to keep putting them out every so often as everyone seems to enjoy them 🙂
Maya | Spice + Sprout says
Yum! These look seriously good. Thank you so much for including my latkes! 🙂
Sam Turnbull says
Don't they!? Haha. You're very welcome Maya!
kathy Sturr says
Ha! I laughed at the title of this because I am so a BIG breakfast gal – typically eating a large savory breakfast and no lunch. A smoothie will never “cut it” for me and I absolutely don’t crave sweet in the A.M. Wonderful batch of big breakfasts for a gal like me! TY! (And whoopsie just posted this to the wrong blog - obviously I have not had breakfast yet.)
Sam Turnbull says
Hahaha! So happy it hit the spot for you Kathy! I'm sure the other blogger was pretty confused for a minute! haha.
April says
These look fabulous BUT - the first 10 links don't work. I have tried on 3 separate occasions. :-/
Sam Turnbull says
Oh no! I just went through and tried all 10 but they all worked for me and all the coding looks right. Some of the sites did load slowly, but I can't control that as they aren't my sites. For any that aren't working for you I recommend copying and pasting the blog name and recipe name into google. It should be the first recipe that comes up. Hope that helps!
April says
Very strange indeed! Sorry for your trouble then.
Sam Turnbull says
No problem at all!
itsaso says

Sam Turnbull says
Aww thank you so much!! I love nicecream as well and have been enjoying it a lot recently. Maybe I will include it in the next round-up! So happy you are enjoying my blog 🙂
Sophia | Veggies Don't Bite says
Thank you so much for including me!! What a fantastic roundup. Now I kinda want to eat breakfast all day!
Sam Turnbull says
Right? Dinner and lunch feel so overrated right now! Haha
Sandy says
Oh my! They all look so good...guess I will just have to make them all LOL! Great variety of recipes...THANKS for sharing!
Sam Turnbull says
Don't they looks scrumptious?? You're welcome Sandy!
Katie | Delightful Vegans says
It's 10pm here and I'm wondering: 'is it breakfast time yet?' All these delicious recipes have my mouth watering!
Sam Turnbull says
Haha! Go to sleep, breakfast will come so much sooner that way! 🙂
Bel says
Was just thinking "I don't know if I can face another bowl of Bircher with chia seeds" Such perfect timing. Thanks.
Sam Turnbull says
Yay! You're very welcome. No chia seeds here!
Anjali @ Vegetarian Gastronomy says
Thanks for including my waffles! Great roundup...will share for sure!
Sam Turnbull says
You're most welcome!
Melissa @ Vegan Huggs says
Wow, this breakfast roundup is insanely delicious looking! This is perfect to send to some of my non-vegan friends that believe I just eat weeds. I see so many recipes on here that I want to try, too. Thank you so much for including my breakfast sandwich. I feel honored to be next to such awesomeness! 🙂
Sam Turnbull says
You're most welcome, you sandwich looks amazing!! Yeah, as much as oatmeal is good, I really don't think it's going to woo any meat eaters to the greener side! Haha. Hopefully this collection helps.
Casey the College Celiac says
All of these absolutely had me DROOLING! Such a great idea to list vegan options that differ from the usual choices...though, considering my addiction to smoothies and oatmeal, I might end up eating these for lunch or dinner instead! 😉
Sam Turnbull says
Haha! That's totally fair! I'm on a nice cream kick for breakfast myself on these hot days 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
All SOOO delicious! The best meal of the day!!
I am humbled to be included! xoxo
Sam Turnbull says
Haha you're most welcome Rebecca 🙂
Amanda Rogers says
Your French toast may be an old recipe, but it's to die for.
Sam Turnbull says
I know right? I had to include it. Maybe I will update the recipe and pictures one day...
Sandra says
LOVE IT! THANK YOU!!! Gonna share! (Sorry for the caps lock, too excited) 😀
Sam Turnbull says
Haha I totally understand your excitement!!
Angel says
Great collection Samantha! Thanks so much for including my Enchilada Breakfast Casserole! I can't wait to try some of the other recipes too!
Sam Turnbull says
Don't the all look so good? You're very welcome Angel 🙂
Natalie | Feasting on Fruit says
Thanks Sam!! Most certainly sharing, this post is fantastic 🙂
Sam Turnbull says
Thank you so much Natalie 🙂
sophie says
Oh great FINALLY! So tired of this oatmeal-greensmoothie-healthy-breakfast trend... THAANNNKS <3
Sam Turnbull says
Right!? Why does my breakfast need to have greens and chia in it? Sometimes I just want something hearty delicious like the rest of the population! Haha.
