Vegan breakfast ideas?

by Donna Adams
(Chicago, Illinois )


Hi Sassy,

I own a cafe that does not allow black iron, no stove or grill. I have a small convection oven and a microwave. I have been searching for breakfast foods that are vegan that I can either toast, microwave or prepare in the convection oven and freeze for later.

I don't have a large kitchen and I have one freezer. I would like to be able to offer my vegan customers more breakfast options.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Donna Adams

starstarstarstar 		vegan brunch!
by: Danielle

Isa Chandra Moskowitz' book Vegan Brunch is my favorite go-to book for breakfast/lunch treats. She does amazing muffins, french toast, pancakes and the like, but also veganizes traditional breakfast foods like bagels, fritattas, and even quiche. At $13 this book is a STEAL for what you get from it.

My very favorite crowd-pleaser recipe is her tofu benny with hollandaise sauce. Highly recommend!!

The best part? Her book allows for so many "options" and swaps, you never have to do the recipe the same way twice. She teaches you the base or basics and leaves the creativity up to you.

For your cafe, fresh fruit is always a treat. I rarely can find good, clean, fresh, ripe fruit at a restaurant. Hope this helps.

Herbed Tempeh and Hash Browns

Here's one of my favorite breakfast recipes. It takes a little time to prepare, but lasts me several days.

Ingredients:
3 medium red potatoes, cut into 1/4" dice
1 8-oz. package tempeh
1 small onion, diced
Sea salt
Soy sauce
1 T. chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
1/2 tsp. chopped fresh sage
1/2 tsp. chopped fresh oregano or marjoram
Olive oil

Directions:
1. Cook potatoes in boiling salted water until soft, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Cut tempeh in half and steam in a steamer basket for 20 minutes. Cool and crumble into a small bowl.
3. Add olive oil and onion to a large skillet. When the onion starts to sizzle, add a pinch of sea salt and cook until tender. Add the potatoes and cook for several minutes until starting to brown. Add the tempeh, a sprinkle of soy sauce and the herbs. Cook for several more minutes, stirring as needed to brown. ENJOY!

by: Donna Adams

Much thanks to you both for your suggestions! I will check the book out, but since I can not fry/saute anything I'll have to pass on that recipe.
Once again thank you!

starstarstarstarstar 		Make ahead vegan pancakes
by: Meg

I make a pile of pancakes ahead of time and reheat them in the toaster. You could do this in your convection oven. My recipe goes like this.
1 banana, pureed in blender
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 teaspoons agave nectar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup almond milk
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
Mix all dry ingredients. Blend all wet ingredients and add to dry ingredients until just mixed. Spoon onto hot skillet.
Makes 8-10 small pancakes.
Make them ahead at home and reheat them in the oven! Good luck to you! Love Meg

starstarstarstarstar 		Your breakfast question...
by: Wendy

(Hot, Organic?) Banana Walnut Oatmeal, with real maple syrup or with Chia seeds or with Quinoa...I use water but your could add a milk alternate.
.
Do you have a blender? Smoothie with avocado, spinach or romaine or red swiss chard+ frozen fruit and water. Tastes like fruit! You'll need two bananas to make a six cup blender sweet enough for average American tastes.

Good luck!

starstarstarstarstar 		Granola
by: Hilary

You might try making your own granola - preferably one that is not too sweet (I have a good recipe if you need one) - and serve it topped with fresh fruit and almond milk (or another non-dairy "milk")

I also like to slice and freeze a ripe banana. Blend with almond milk and a spoonful of almond butter. Depending on how thick it is, you can drink or eat with a spoon.

starstarstarstarstar 		Thanks Again!
by: Donna Adams

How wonderful you guys are with your suggestions!

I have zero time at home to prepare anything! I'm there from 7am until 9pm. I have no food at home in any case!
I can try a couple of ideas and see what happens.

Again thank you!

starstarstarstarstar 		Great Super Healthy Vegan Breakfast Ideas
by: Nicole

Hi There,

Since chia seeds have been getting heightened fame, I'd like to suggest an ultimate fruit salad that will probably be a hit.

1 cup chopped pineapple
1 cup chopped peaches
1/2 cup blueberries
1 cup chopped apples (prefer gala)
1 cup chopped mango
1/2-3/4 cup chia gel (Soak 3/4 cup chia seeds in 3 cups water, or look up online how to make chia gel)
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup honey or other sweetener.

Mix chopped fruit together. Add coconut milk, chia gel and sweetener. Mix well. Let sit overnight. Actually, always better 1-2 days later when coconut milk has had a chance to marinate with the fruits.

Always love scrambled tofu, fruit pizza, smoothie granolas cups (layer smoothie, then granola, another layer of smoothie, then granola and top of with cut of strawberries for decoration).

Also, try some Raw fruit pies. Use granola, or blended up nuts as crust. Then with a food processor, shred apples, pears, or other crunchy fruits of choice. Also, you can add chopped pineapples into the mix. Mix all fruits together then spread on top of crust. Top off with blueberries, strawberries or others.

You can always freeze fruits for smoothies.
