This can be eaten alone, in a bowl of fresh fruit, or even on a bowl of porridge if you’re really hungry! This recipe serves two.

2. Apple Sauce-Based Pancakes

  • 1 ½ tsps baking powder
  • ½ cup unsweetened oat milk
  • Vegan butter

Method:

  • Step 1 – Put the flour and baking powder in a mixing bowl, and stir these together thoroughly.
  • Step 2 – Add your apple sauce and vegan milk, and use a fork or whisk to fully stir these until you have a smooth mixture.
  • Step 3 – Put a frying pan over low heat and add butter to grease the pan.
  • Step 4 – Pour the mixture in, a third at a time, waiting until the pancake fully unsticks from the pan to flip.

You can top these pancakes with fruit, vegan chocolate sauce, or golden syrup.
*For ready-made apple sauce I use Biona Apple Puree. You can find it in most health food shops.

3. Avocado Toast

Avocado toast is a simple recipe but add almond butter and this breakfast is not only soothing for a sweet tooth, but extra decadent! This recipe makes avocado toast a dish more suited to breakfast than to lunch.

Ingredients:

Method:

Simply spread the almond butter onto your bread, add thinly sliced avocado on top, and sprinkle on the milled chia seeds.

* You can use white bread or brown bread, seeded or non-seeded, depending on your preference. I use Warburtons Thick Sliced White Toastie bread. Just make sure you choose bread you know won’t break apart easily when you spread your almond butter on it!

4. Chocolate Porridge

This breakfast recipe by Deliciously Ella is a warm, creamy and sweet treat! This only takes 5 minutes to prepare and cook. Despite that it’s simple-looking, this porridge is something special, especially for those of us with a preference for a warm, and sweet breakfast.

5. Blueberry Breakfast Muffins

These blueberry muffins (But It’s Vegan) are my all-time favourite breakfast dish! They are light and fluffy, and the blueberries give a delicious natural sweetness. Best of all, you can freeze these muffins and finish your batch later.
