Need some delicious & easy vegan breakfast ideas? Got you covered with this collection of recipes, from sweets to savory eats!

Collage of vegan breakfast recipes - tofu scramble, blueberry lemon bread, hash, and pancakes.

Going vegan can be tough - and it's not because the food is gross or weird, it's simply because breaking cultural norms is difficult. The traditional breakfast here in the U.S. involves some kind of egg variation (scrambled, poached, omelet, etc) paired with a pile of meat (bacon or sausage).

But breakfast doesn't have to be that way, and there are so many sweet and savory breakfasts you can make that will fuel you until lunch rolls around (see this post for quick vegan LUNCH ideas.)

Once you get into the swing of things, vegan breakfast is an EXCITING time of day. Gimme all the tofu scramble, potato hash, vegan sausage, and more!

Is your mouth watering yet? Here are some really delicious, creative vegan recipes for breakfast!

Another great way to make vegan sausage is by using tempeh. It's high in protein and takes on seasoning really well! I honestly can't get enough of this sausage gravy and biscuits recipe. If you need something indulgent and comforting in the morning, it's perfect.
