    Vegan Baked Oatmeal with Fresh Berries

    Even if you think you don't like oatmeal, you have to try this baked version. The oatmeal doesn’t become goopy at all. Instead, it becomes soft and chewy.

    I add in some healthy doses of sweetness and spice, topping it off with fresh berries and almond milk for serving. This baked oatmeal can be a hefty serving for one, so I recommend making it for a family breakfast or eating it throughout the week. It's also perfect for brunch or company! This one gets heavy rotation in my home during the holidays.

    Especially with the price of eggs right now, if you are looking for a similar recipe then you've gotta try this tofu scramble.

    Vegan Sourdough Waffles

    Did you become one of those people with a sourdough starter in 2020? I got heavily into making sourdough everything (you've gotta try my sourdough crackers-- they taste like cheeze-its!)

    Don't discard that starter when making your sourdough bread. Waffles suit sourdough so well, even completely veganized. A flaxseed egg keeps things together and light and fluffy.

    With this recipe, you need to plan the night ahead that you want waffles in the morning (much like making overnight oats). This allows you to overnight the sponge and rehydrate the starter in the morning. But, you can freeze the cooked waffles for simple breakfasts later in the week.

    Easy Overnight Muesli

    This is a slight variation of overnight oats for those who want to mix up their quick morning vegan breakfast. I love muesli so much more than regular oatmeal, and this is a slightly more elevated version of it. In it, I combine shredded coconut, nuts, seeds, and raisins.

    I know that muesli doesn’t take much work to make, but every minute counts in the morning!

    Muesli just gives such a nice crunch and texture that I can always get behind. I prefer to top this one with extra fruit right before eating.

    Glazed Vegan Breakfast Donuts

    I don’t know who decided that donuts are considered breakfast food, but I would like to thank them. A coffee and a donut are a pairing made in quick morning heaven. Making vegan donuts isn’t as hard as you might think. My kids go nuts for these donuts and they have become a regular weekend breakfast for us.

    These are baked and have a tender crumb like cake donuts. Once they are baked, top with chocolate or vanilla glaze of your choice. Or, a bit of both like we do! For this recipe, you will need a donut pan. And once you have one, you’ll find yourself making donuts regularly!

    Blackberry Chia Pudding with Peanut Butter
