By Lora O’Brien
We’ve all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
But…what should you make?
Cold cereal and burnt toast are out of the question. Especially when there are so many great options!
Here below, I’ve rounded up some pretty delicious vegan breakfast recipes that are not only so gorgeously presented, but they’re also pretty healthy, too!
Whether you’re in a rush in the early hours, need a caffeine hit, or have the luxury of enjoying a long, leisurely breakfast in bed, there’s a great selection of recipes to choose from.
May your day be filled with positive vibes, health, and endless cups of tea and coffee!
20 Vegan Breakfast Ideas
1. Peanut Butter Espresso Smoothie
This recipe infuses both espresso and peanut butter to make a super thick and delicious smoothie. It’s super satisfying and dare I say – indulgent! It’s creamy from the milk, (use any kind you like), banana and peanut butter. But there’s also that hit of coffee for the caffeine addicts among us.

2. Cold Brew Caramel Frappuccino
Sure, coffee is essential for vegan breakfast in bed recipes. So I just have to include this exquisite drink. Coffee doesn’t get more artisanal than this! Easier to make than you think, too.

3. Vanilla, Almond & Fig Granola Parfaits
This vanilla, almond and fig granola looks so damn good. This is really quick to throw together; simply combine the ready made granola with some coconut yogurt and some fresh blood oranges. The infusion of flavours and textures works so well. Definitely one of my favourite vegan breakfast in bed recipes!

4. Vegan Coconut Yogurt
Okay, so I’ve mentioned coconut yogurt in a few of the recipes above. So, why not make your own this Mother’s Day? It will take around 12 hours to make though, so you may want to make this ahead of Sunday. You could add this to some of the vegan breakfast recipes above, add a dollop onto some pancakes, or simply enjoy with some berries and granola.

5. Vegan French Toast
Fact: vegan French toast is actually pretty easy to make! This one is topped with a heaping of coconut yogurt, maple syrup and mixed berries and I have to say that it looks insanely good – like I’m actually salivating. You could even make a stack of these for you all to enjoy.

6. Coconut & Banana Buckwheat Pancakes
Can you tell I like pancakes? These are thicker than your usual crepe like pancake, so they’re wonderful for stacking into a pile and devouring together. The best part? Adding coconut milk between each pancake! When you cut into them, the coconut yogurt oozes out and leaves a yummy puddle to dip your pancake chunks into. YUM!

7. Blueberry & Coconut Baked Oatmeal
It’s a huge fan of oatmeal, and I didn’t think it could get better until the first time I baked it. It’s a game changer, seriously. It becomes almost dessert-like with its sweet crunchiness. Bake this, and then present it on a tray with a stack of bowls and spoons and enjoy breakfast in bed together with a loved one. It’s another of my fave vegan breakfast recipes!

8. Oil Free Vegan Donuts
These vegan donuts are surprisingly healthy! How so? Well, unlike real donuts that are packed with sugar and will cause a sugar crash an hour or so after eating, these are made from lots of goodness! Plus, they’re super fluffy, and not deep fried.

9. Fully Loaded Vegan Blueberry Muffins
What’s a list of vegan breakfast in bed recipes without muffins? Not only do they smell delicious whilst baking, but they’re just so yummy when they’re still warm from the oven and you’re tucking in. They especially taste great the next day if they manage to stick around long enough. Here’s a great tip: add some chia seeds for extra protein!

10. Vegan Banana Bread
Sweet, sticky, and hot out of the oven. How could this banana bread not be one of the best ever vegan breakfast in bed foods, like, ever? Slather mine in almond butter, please!

11. Vegan Scones
Yep, I’m a Brit. So I think scones are the best! They’re not too sweet, and of course, because they go oh-so-well with jam, vegan butter, and maybe some vegan clotted ‘cream’. Not keen on blueberries? Switch in whatever berry you love!

12. Fluffy Vegan Scrambled Eggs
The tofu scramble has become one of the staple vegan breakfast in bed recipes around the world. But loads of us are allergic to tofu (or just don’t like it). Luckily, there’s a solution! These ‘eggs’ are made of mung beans. And my gosh – what an innovation! This is light, fluffy and tasty as heck.

13. Vegan Breakfast Burrito
This is probably my very favourite of all the vegan breakfast in bed recipes. Because Mexican food is life! You can swap in your favourite fillings for most of these, too. This one features tofu and vegan queso, but you can also just put in whatever you have on hand: beans, rice, peppers, spinach – you name it!

14. Easy Skillet Potatoes
Think potatoes are boring? Think again! This is one of the tastiest vegan breakfast in bed recipes, thanks to the use of garlic, onion, and peppers. Make this as spicy or as mild as you like.

15. Miso-Tahini Avocado Toast
Time for more savoury vegan breakfast in bed recipes, right? Avocado on toast always goes down a treat in my household. It’s easy to make, super good for you and it tastes sooo good. There’s so much nutrition here! Gut friendly miso on a protein rich tahini base with the healthy, creamy avo, all topped with a salty seasoning.

16. Vegan Bagels with ‘Lox’ & ‘Cream Cheese’
Salmon and cream cheese bagels are considered a pretty good breakfast in bed recipe. But personally the idea of eating salmon 1. in bed, 2. at all and 3. first thing in the morning…. Well, it makes me feel a little queasy. The good news: we can now replicate that popular dish without the use of stinky salmon. This recipe uses tomatoes to re-create a salmony texture, and the cream cheese itself is made from cashews.

17. Soy-Free Vegan Benedict
A great eggs Benedict is a must in any list of vegan breakfast in bed recipes. But how to make it without, you know, the eggs?
This is a vegan-friendly take on the popular meat and egg based recipe. The ham is replaced with shiitake mushroom bacon, whilst the Hollandaise sauce is made from ingredients like cashews and nutritional yeast to make it incredibly creamy.
Instead of eggs, this recipe has chickpea patties, which are super easy to make, and taste SO good. I reckon this recipe may just make even the most devoted carnivore go vegan!

18. Zucchini Cakes
Many of these vegan breakfast in bed recipes were sweeter treats. So I thought I’d add another recipe that is really great for those who like it savoury! These little zucchini cakes are especially delish when topped with a vegan sour cream.
Get the recipe here.
19. Vegan Breakfast Sausages
This is the perfect vegan breakfast in bed base. Serve these bean-based sausages up with some of the potatoes above, and one of the vegan ‘egg’ recipes I’ve shown you, too. Heavenly! And you’ll be full for hours.

20. High Protein Tempeh Hash
Looking for vegan breakfast recipes that are high in protein? Bingo! It doesn’t get better than this. The skillet contains not only tempeh, but also tomato, potato, broccoli…well, essentially you can put whatever you like into this!
