Veganuary recipes

Vegan breakfast recipes

Breakfast is one of the easiest meals to make vegan.

Many breakfast cereals are naturally vegan - serve with oat or almond milk instead of dairy milk.

The same goes for toast (remember to check the ingredients for shop bought bread). Use dairy free spread and toppings like jam, marmite, peanut butter or other nut butters.

However if you're looking for a nutritious and filling vegan breakfast then try one of the following recipes:

Oat-based breakfasts

Cinnamon banana porridge, or oatmeal, is one of the most delicious breakfasts imaginable. Sweetened with mashed banana and cinnamon, and topped with toasted seeds, maple syrup and fried banana this is vegan breakfast heaven.
