12 Delicious Vegan Breakfast Recipes

Being vegan can be hard at breakfast time, when your options are typically limited to an expansive array of egg dishes, fluffy pancakes and waffles, and maybe a single vegan-friendly salad. But with a slew of vegan breakfast recipes on your side, it’s more than easy to make your mornings all the more delicious — without changing your diet. As long as you have some staples like almond milk, oats, and the occasional dash of nutritional yeast, vegan brunch is no difficult feat to make on your own.

While it may be easy enough to just whip out some cereal and your non-dairy milk of choice, making a filling and healthy breakfast recipe at home makes it much easier to get out of bed in the morning. You don’t need to be a master chef or an incredibly early riser just to get something delicious on your plate. These 12 recipes prove just that.

Forget about eggs and dairy-ridden baked goods, and get to the kitchen to do your own cooking. These breakfast recipes will change your life — or at least make mornings a whole lot more bearable. And when you’re a fan of the snooze button, nothing could really be more encouraging than a big plate of something delicious.
