I’m always excited to find healthier alternatives to wheat, rye and spelt-based breads, and Evi’s chickpea flatbread with garlicky spinach is a superb option that’s both gluten-free, high in protein, and customizable to your liking.
Get this; apart from water, salt and pepper, the flatbread itself requires only 2 ingredients! Can’t get much simpler than that.

Cheesy Tofu Breakfast Sandwiches
Have a ravenous appetite and want to start your day off on the right foot? If so, then you need to be biting into Dianne’s incredible cheesy tofu breakfast sandwiches!
These sandwiches feature baked tofu dipped in nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor. And my, oh my, the cheesy goodness doesn’t end there, because you’ll also have a jar of Dianne’s delicious cashew cheese sauce to drizzle over the baked tofu.

What are you waiting for? Go get busy!
Black Bean and Mushroom Tostadas
Some recipes lend themselves pretty well to being customized with what ingredients you have available at home.

I don’t often have access to fresh figs, but next time I do, there’s no doubt I’ll need to try Veronica’s chia pudding recipe.
The recipe is simple, requiring 5 simple ingredients. You mix together the chia seeds and spices with your chosen plant milk, then leave it overnight in your fridge and it’ll be ready for serving the following morning.

This savory breakfast comes together in just 30 minutes; you’ll love it!
Chickpea Omelet Mix
I always welcome veganized “egg” recipes that don’t include tofu, as it leaves us with more options to choose from, especially for those with certain food sensitivities.
So, instead of tofu, Susan has come up with an omelet recipe based on chickpea flour mixed with nutritional yeast, condiments and various spices amongst other complementary ingredients.
One key aspect of this recipe, is that it’s prepared to easily adapt to any cuisine you’re serving it with.
How long does it take to make? How does 15 minutes sound? Go for it!
Basic Tofu Scramble
Personally, I had never tried Kala namak, or black salt, until a special someone introduced it to me in 2017. I was told it had undertones of eggy flavor and that was absolutely correct!
So, guess what, Himalayan black salt is also the superstar in Bianca’s basic tofu scramble, which she says gives the scramble an egg-like aroma and taste.

Potato Pancakes (Kartoffelkuchen)
I was very new to the idea of potato-based pancakes when I first saw this one from Gin’s potato pancake recipe. So when she says it’s a fairly unique way to use potatoes, I can’t help but agree.
Tofu is creatively used instead of egg as a binder. And thanks to tofu’s neutral flavor, the taste of potato is allowed to fully come through.
While these special pancakes do take 75 minutes to prepare, you should definitely consider giving them a try, at the very least for a special breakfast occasion with friends or family!
