Author: 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!

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!

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
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.
