This tofu benedict from Plants Only Holidays by Gaz Oakley is a fun, plant-based take on the classic brunch dish. Instead of eggs, it uses thick slices of smoked tofu, pan-fried until golden and seasoned with black salt for that “eggy” flavor. It’s layered on toasted muffins or bagels with sautéed spinach and a smooth, tangy vegan hollandaise.

The sauce is made with soy milk, mustard, vinegar, and olive oil — it’s rich, creamy, and super easy to blend together. Cherry tomatoes, chopped chives, and a sprinkle of cress finish the dish and add a fresh pop of color.

This is the kind of breakfast that feels special but doesn’t take much effort. It’s perfect for weekends, holidays, or any slow morning when you want something warm, savory, and comforting. Make it for guests, share it with someone you love, or treat yourself to a solo brunch. However you enjoy it, this tofu benedict brings big flavor and makes any morning better.

Duration25 minutes
Servings2

Ingredients

  • 225 g block firm smoked tofu pressed to remove water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for frying
  • Pinch of black salt optional for an “eggy” flavour, or use sea salt
  • Pinch of ground pepper
For the “hollandaise” sauce
  • 120 ml (½ cup) soy milk
  • 3 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • ½ tsp English mustard
  • Pinch of sea salt and pepper
  • 120 ml (½ cup) olive oil
For the sautéed spinach
  • 4 big handfuls of baby spinach
  • Pinch of sea salt and pepper
To serve
  • 2 breakfast muffins or bagels
  • Handful of cherry tomatoes halved
  • Small bunch of fresh chives finely chopped
  • Pinch of cress

Instructions

  • First up, make the “hollandaise” sauce. Pour the soy milk, vinegar, mustard and seasoning into a measuring jug and blend using an electric stick blender, until mixed well.
  • Keep the blender running and slowly trickle in the oil until the sauce starts to thicken up. Once you’ve added all the oil it should be thick and creamy but still pourable.
  • If your sauce is too thick, stir in a few additional tablespoons of soy milk. Taste to check the seasoning. Cover the sauce with cling film (plastic wrap) and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.
  • Cut the tofu into rounds using an 8cm (3in) cutter. Pat dry with kitchen paper, then preheat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the oil to the pan. Pan fry the tofu until golden on each side, around 3–4 minutes. Season with the black salt, if using, and pepper.
  • Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside. Turn the heat up high and add a touch more oil. When it starts to smoke add all the spinach (don’t worry, it will wilt down quickly). Cook the spinach for 1 minute, stirring quickly. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then remove from the heat. Spinach contains lots of water, so I always press it with a clean tea (dish) towel to soak up any excess liquid.
  • Toast the muffins or bagels, if you like, then add the tofu slices and sautéed spinach. Scatter around the cherry tomato halves. Top with a dollop of the “hollandaise” sauce, sprinkle over some chopped chives, top with a pinch of cress and serve immediately.
  • Wow your guests with this beautiful breakfast, it’s a real show stopper. The “hollandaise” is velvety and smooth, the perfect match for smoky tofu.

This oatmeal cookie granola from Fantastic Vegan Recipes for the Teen Cook by Elaine Skiadas is crunchy, sweet, and totally addictive.

You can eat this granola so many ways. Sprinkle it on vegan yogurt or smoothie bowls, pour it in a bowl with your favorite plant milk, or just eat it by the handful as a snack.

  • cups (60 g) crispy brown rice cereal
  • ¼ cup (35 g) sunflower seeds
  • ¼ cup (35 g) pumpkin seeds
  • ¼ cup (35 g) almonds, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp (14 g) ground flax seeds

  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (84 g) dairy-free chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the oats, crispy rice cereal, seeds, almonds, flaxseeds, cinnamon and salt.
  • In a small saucepan, stir together the maple syrup, brown sugar and coconut oil. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to low and hold at a simmer for about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and quickly whisk in the almond butter and vanilla until smooth.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine. Spread the mixture on the prepared sheet pan and press down firmly, using a spatula or another sheet of parchment paper. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake for 27 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. The granola will still be a little soft when it first comes out of the oven. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes, then use a spatula to gently break the sheet into a few large clumps. Allow the granola to finish cooling completely on the sheet pan before transferring to an airtight container.

Mark Filippelli’s vegan fried egg from This Cookbook is a Huge Missed Steak looks just like the real thing — and it’s fully plant-based. The recipe is splits into two parts: the egg white and the egg yolk. The egg white comes together with a simple blend of potato and tapioca. It cooks to a firm texture with a slight crisp at the edges. This part mimics a traditional egg white very well.

Mark uses techniques that transform everyday components into a convincing egg yolk. The two parts work together to form a complete vegan fried egg.

This recipe proves that you can enjoy a classic breakfast dish while keeping it fully plant-based. The process is straightforward and uses ingredients you might already have. It is perfect for topping toast, sandwiches, or serving with your favorite breakfast sides. With a bit of practice, you can master this innovative dish and add a creative twist to your vegan meals.

Ingredients

Vegan Egg White
  • 2 potatoes
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tbsp corn flour
  • 2 tbsp tapioca starch
  • Water enough to make a loose batter
Vegan Egg Yolk
For the puree
  • 1 sweet potato medium/ large
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter such as
  • Nuttelex melted
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • cup of water
  • tsp of black Himalayan salt
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
For the water bath
  • 1 liter distilled or bottled water
  • 1 & 2/3 tsp sodium alginate
To blend with the puree
  • ¾ tsp calcium lactate
  • 1/16 tsp xanthan gum
  • 200 g purée

Instructions

For the vegan egg white

  • Pre-heat your non-stick fry pan with a thin layer of olive oil. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly into a roughly circular shape approximately 8–10cm in diameter. The less you fuss, the more it will look like a traditional fried egg.
  • Once the shape is set, use the back of a teaspoon to flatten down any lumps of grated potato. Fry on a medium heat until it starts to turn a bit golden around the edges (this will take about 2–3 minutes). The complete the egg, using a spoon carefully add the egg yolk to the center of the white.

For the vegan egg yolk

    PART 1: make the puree

    • Let’s get cracking. To make the purée, wrap sweet potato in foil and roast in the oven at 200°C / 390°F for 50–70 minutes or until it’s soft. Unwrap potato and peel skin, add all ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth. You now have your purée, made with purée talent.

    PART 2: get ready

    • Blend your water and sodium alginate on low for 1 minute, pour into a fl at bottom container and leave overnight (this is your water bath). When you are ready to get your sphere on and have your purée ready, take your container out of the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature.
    • In the meantime, add your purée, calcium lactate and xanthan gum into the blender and blend for 1 minute. Let both the puree/liquid and alginate bath stand, allowing time for any trapped air bubbles to rise to the surface and pop. Trapped air bubbles will prevent the spheres from sinking in the spherification bath, which can cause an uneven skin to form.

    PART 3: reverse spherification

    • Get a round tablespoon or measuring spoon (google that if you are not sure), fill it with your blended purée mix and slowly add it to your water bath. At this time you add as many as you need but make sure they are not touching. Allow them 3–5 minutes to chill in the bath to set. Once set you can keep them in a separate fresh water bowl and they are ready to explode.

    This article was written by Halle Burns on the PBN Website.

    ]]>
    These vegan bubble bagel bites from CALL ME VEGAN by Halle Burns are a high-protein, chewy snack you can whip up fast. The key ingredient is vital wheat gluten — a flour packed with protein that gives the bites their signature texture. You mix it with just a few other pantry staples to make a simple dough, then roll it into bite-sized balls and coat them in everything bagel seasoning.

    Once baked, they puff up and turn golden, with a chewy inside and crisp edges. They’re perfect straight from the oven or dipped in vegan cream cheese. Halle recommends tofu cream cheese or a store-bought option like Kite Hill.

    These bites are easy to make and super tasty. Each one packs in a solid protein boost, thanks to the vital wheat gluten. Enjoy them as a snack, party bite, or part of a high-protein vegan breakfast. No long prep, no fancy tools — just chewy, savory goodness.

    Ingredients

    For the tofu cream cheese
    • 7 ounces firm or extra firm tofu drained and at room temperature
    • 3 tablespoons Homemade
    • Vegan mayo
    • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
    • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice or vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon seltzer water
    For the bagel bites
    • ¼ cup vital wheat gluten
    • ¼ cup water
    • 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
    • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
    • ¾ teaspoon white vinegar
    • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
    • 1 to 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
    • Tofu cream cheese or store-bought vegan cream cheese such as Kite Hill for serving

    Instructions

    Tofu cream cheese

    • In a blender, combine the tofu, mayo, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and seltzer water. Blend on high until very smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
    • Transfer the mixture to a lidded container, smoothing the top with a spatula, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before using. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

    For the bubble bagel bites

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
    • In a medium bowl, stir together the vital wheat gluten, water, tapioca starch, baking powder, vinegar, and salt until a shaggy dough forms. The dough will be very wet. Using your hands, knead the dough for 1 to 2 minutes until it becomes smooth.
    • Break the dough into tablespoon-size pieces and roll them into balls roughly 1 inch in diameter.
    • Pour the everything bagel seasoning into a small bowl and roll the balls in it until covered. Place the bites an inch or two apart on an ungreased sheet pan.
    • Bake for 10 minutes, then turn each bite over so it can brown a little more on the other side.
    • Continue baking until they are puffed and golden, 13 to 15 minutes total. Serve with tofu cream cheese.
    • They are best enjoyed right from the oven.

    This ultimate Jamaican breakfast is a hearty, plant-based meal that looks and tastes amazing. This breakfast is perfect for family gatherings or weekend brunches. It’s filling, full of textures, and offers a variety of flavors, from crispy dumplings to savory ackee and “salt fish.”

    The dish uses hearts of palm in place of the traditional salt fish, making it a vegan twist on the classic. The hearts of palm have a similar texture to fish, giving the dish that “seafood” feel without any animal products. Kale adds a nutritious boost to the dish, while ripe plantains bring a sweet contrast when fried to perfection.

    This meal takes a bit of time to prepare, especially with the resting time for the dumplings, but it’s worth it for the depth of flavor. The dumplings, fried to a crispy golden brown, pair wonderfully with the garlicky greens and ackee. Whether you’re making it for a special occasion or simply want to enjoy a comforting breakfast on the weekend, this dish is sure to impress.

    This recipe is from Denai Moore’s Plentiful, offering a vegan twist on a traditional Jamaican breakfast.

    Servings4

    Ingredients

    FOR THE DUMPLINGS
    • 400 g self-raising flour or 4 cups all-purpose flour plus 3½ teaspoons baking powder
    • 1 tablespoons light brown soft sugar
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon vegan block butter
    • 200 ml water
    • Vegetable oil for frying
    FOR THE ACKEE AND ‘SALT FISH’
    • 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 red onion diced
    • 1 tomato diced
    • 1 Scotch bonnet deseeded and chopped
    • 1 spring onion scallion, chopped
    • 2 garlic cloves chopped
    • 350 g kale
    • Splash of water
    • 4 sprigs of thyme leaves chopped
    • 210 g hearts of palm roughly chopped
    • 1 tablespoon vegan fish sauce
    • Splash of water
    • 500 g tin of ackee rinsed and drained
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • Your favourite hot sauce to serve
    FOR THE GARLICKY GREENS
    • 1 tablespoon vegan block butter
    • 4 garlic cloves finely chopped
    • 350 g spinach
    FOR THE FRIED PLANTAINS
    • 2 ripe plantains peeled and sliced diagonally into 8 pieces
    • Olive or vegetable oil for frying

    Instructions

    • First make the dumplings. Put the flour, sugar and salt (and baking powder if using all-purpose flour) into a bowl with the butter. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the dry ingredients. Add the water to bring it together, then knead in the bowl until you have a smooth dough. Cover with cling film (plastic wrap) and leave to rest for 1 hour. This will allow the gluten to fully hydrate and give you the fluffiest dumplings. Once rested, separate the dough into eight pieces, then form into balls by rolling in your hands. Set back in the bowl.
    • Next prepare the ackee and ‘salt fish’. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan (skillet) over a medium heat. Sweat the onion for 2–3 minutes with a pinch of salt until softened, then add the tomato, Scotch bonnet, spring onion, garlic and thyme. Fry for a few more minutes until wonderfully fragrant. Now add the heart of palm and season with the vegan fish sauce. Fry for another minute. Add a splash of water to the pan to deglaze and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the ackee, cover with a lid and steam for 5 minutes.
    • For the plantains, in a separate frying pan, heat enough oil to coat over a medium heat and fry the plantain slices for 3–4 minutes until golden, flipping to cook each side.
    • Now make the garlicky greens. Heat the butter in a frying pan and once melted fry the garlic until fragrant. Add the kale and a splash of water. Season with salt and pepper, cover and steam for 2 minutes. Next add the spinach, put the lid back on and cook until just wilted. Check for seasoning.
    • Heat 2.5 cm (1 inch) of oil in a deep-sided heavy-bottomed frying pan over a medium heat. Test the temperature by using a wooden spoon – if lots of bubbles appear around it immediately, it’s ready to go. Fry the dumplings for 3–4 minutes – be careful, if they are browning too quickly, the temperature of the oil is too high.
    • Put a couple of fried dumplings, some plantains and garlicky greens on each plate. Finally, add the ackee and ‘salt fish’ in the middle. Serve with your favourite hot sauce and enjoy!

    • Once the milk has curdled, whisk in the yoghurt and maple syrup, then pour the wet mixture into the flour bowl and stir to combine until you have a smooth pancake batter.
    • Grease a non-stick pan with a little coconut oil and pour your pancakes into the hot pan. Use a wooden spoon to shape the individual pancakes, and gently flip when the edges become golden.
    • Serve your carrot cake pancakes with your favorite toppings!
    • Some of my favorites are protein yoghurt (protein powder mixed with yoghurt), maple syrup, vegan custard, crunchy nuts and seeds, nut butter (especially pistachio butter!), chocolate sprinkles and shredded carrot.

    Ingredients

    • 4 cups (360 g) rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
    • 2 cups (220 g) pecans roughly chopped
    • cup (92 g) pumpkin seeds
    • cup (90 g) sunflower seeds

    This mango coconut chia seed pudding is a simple and nutritious breakfast option. It combines mango, coconut milk, and chia seeds to create a creamy, naturally sweet dish. Chia seeds are nutritious and full of fiber, omega-3s, and plant-based protein, making them a great way to start the day. They are also gluten-free. Since this pudding sets overnight, it’s perfect for meal prep and saves time in the morning. Once it’s set, the pudding is ready to serve with extra mango, shredded coconut, or more chia seeds for texture.

    This recipe comes from Blk + Vegan by Emani Corcran. As well as breakfast, it works well as a quick snack or light dessert, too. Whether eaten at home or taken on the go, mango coconut chia pudding is an easy way to enjoy a wholesome plant-based meal meal.

    This article was written by Elaine Skiadas on the PBN Website.

    ]]>
    These vegan chai spiced cinnamon rolls from Elaine Skiadas’ cookbook Fantastic Vegan Recipes for the Teen Cook bring a new twist to the classic treat. The dough is soft and fluffy, filled with a blend of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and allspice. These rolls are topped with a maple glaze, making them a great option for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. The chai spices add depth to the usual cinnamon roll flavor, giving them a little extra something special.

    This recipe is ideal for cozy mornings or holiday gatherings. The rolls rise twice, allowing the dough to develop a light texture. If you’re short on time, you can prep them the night before and bake them fresh in the morning. They’re best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven, with the glaze melting into each bite.

    Servings9 rolls

    Ingredients

    Cinnamon roll dough
    • 1 cup+ 2 tbsp (270 ml) water
    • 2 tbsp (25 g) organic cane sugar
    • 1 tsp active dry yeast
    • 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour plus more as needed
    • ½ tsp kosher salt
    • 6 tbsp (84 g) vegan butter melted
    • Olive oil for bowl
    Filling
    • ½ cup (112 g) vegan butter softened
    • 1 cup (225 g) light or dark brown sugar
    • 1 tbsp (8 g) ground cinnamon
    • 1 tsp ground cardamom
    • ½ tsp ground ginger
    • ½ tsp ground allspice
    • Vegan butter for baking dish
    Maple glaze
    • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
    • ¼ cup (60 ml) pure maple syrup
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 to 2 tbsp (15 to 30 ml) nondairy milk

    Instructions

    • Heat the water in a microwave-safe bowl in a microwave or in a small saucepan over the stove until it’s lukewarm but not yet hot (110 to 115°F [43 to 46°C]). Stir in the sugar and yeast. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes until the yeast foams.
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Pour in the melted vegan butter and the yeast mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out the dough onto a clean work surface and knead for 5 to 6 minutes, or until soft and springy. If the dough feels too dry, wet your hands with a little warm water and continue kneading. If it’s sticking to your fingers, add a dusting of flour, but err on the side of a stickier dough.
    • Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl and turn the dough over a couple of times so it’s coated with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean, damp towel and place in a warm spot to rise for 1½ hours, or until the dough has doubled in size (see Tip).
    • While the dough rises, make the filling: In a small bowl, use a spatula to mix the vegan butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and allspice into a spreadable paste.
    • Grease a 9 x 13–inch (23 x 33–cm) baking dish with vegan butter and line with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.
    • Once the dough has risen, roll it into a 12 x 18–inch (30 x 45–cm) rectangle. Spread the filling mixture over the surface and, starting from the wider end of the rectangle, roll the dough into a tight log. Use a sharp knife or a clean length of dental floss to cut the log into nine equal-sized pieces.
    • In the prepared baking dish, arrange the rolls,cut side down, in a single layer. They will rise quite a bit, so each roll should just barely be touching the others. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot to rise for another 45 minutes.
    • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Uncover the cinnamon rolls and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown. Be careful not to overbake, these taste best when they’re still a little gooey.
    • While the cinnamon rolls bake, make the glaze:In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and 1 tablespoon(15 ml) of nondairy milk. If the glaze seems too thick, add another splash of milk until it’s smooth and pourable.
    • Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before pouring the glaze on top. Serve warm.
    Tips:
    While the dough is rising, fill a large dish with hot water and place it next to the bowl in the oven. Don’t turn the oven on! The warm, moist environment will help the dough double in size. Be sure to remove the bowl of water before baking the rolls.
     
    If you plan on having these cinnamon rolls for breakfast or brunch, you can roll out the dough the day before and let them do their final proof in the fridge overnight. The next morning, let the rolls come to room temperature and bake as instructed.

    Vegan apple waffles make a great breakfast option, whether you’re cooking for yourself or feeding a family.

Fresh fruit like berries and orange slices add freshness, while a drizzle of maple syrup or melted vegan chocolate makes them extra special. You can also add vegan whipped cream for a more indulgent treat.

    These waffles work for both breakfast and dessert. They’re naturally sweet without added sugar and offer a hearty, satisfying start to the day. If you’re looking for a simple, plant-based breakfast that everyone will enjoy, these apple waffles are a great choice.

    If you’re on the hunt for a nutritious vegan breakfast that isn’t too much effort to make, these high-protein savory vegan muffins from Natlicious Food are a great one to try.

    Muffins have a long history, originating in England as yeast-leavened bread cooked on griddles. Over time, the American-style muffin evolved into a quick bread made with baking powder, gaining popularity in the 19th century. Muffins most famously incorporate sweet ingredients, but this recipe shows you how to make savory muffins.

    Smoked tofu and nutritional yeast are key components of this recipe. Smoked tofu adds a source of plant-based protein, while nutritional yeast adds a slightly cheesy flavor. These muffins are great for meal prep, as they’ll last around seven days in the fridge in an airtight container.

It features plant milk, frozen ripe bananas, Medjool dates, cacao powder, as well as some peanut butter and optional vegan chocolate protein powder.
