Vegetarian breakfast recipes

Sweet and savory vegetarian breakfasts, including vegan scrambles, overnight oats, pancakes and breakfast bakes.

Breakfast can be warm and savory, cool and creamy, or something made ahead for a busy morning. Tofu scrambles, chickpea-flour pancakes and oat bakes offer different ways to begin the day. Pick a quick stovetop recipe when you have time to cook, or prepare overnight oats before bed.

Some recipes list active preparation time separately from chilling; read those notes before planning your morning. Freeze cooled waffles and pancakes in individual portions so they are easy to warm. For savory breakfasts, add a fresh vegetable side, and check packaged bread and plant milk labels if you are following the vegan version.
