Are you looking for some indulgent plant-based breakfast ideas for your weekend brunch? Look no further! Here are three mouth-watering options: pancakes, waffles, and French toast.

Pancakes 🥞

What’s better than a stack of fluffy pancakes topped with your favorite fruits and syrups? Not much, I’d say!

Making vegan pancakes is easy, and you can substitute the traditional ingredients like milk, eggs, and butter with plant-based alternatives. For example, instead of milk, you can use soy milk, almond milk, or oat milk. To replace eggs, you can use applesauce, mashed bananas, or flaxseed. And instead of butter, you can use vegan margarine.

Don’t forget to add some flavor to your pancakes! You can add vanilla extract, cinnamon, vegan chocolate chips, or blueberries for an extra sweet treat.

Some tips for making the perfect pancake:

  • Use a non-stick pan or griddle
  • Don’t flip the pancake too soon. Wait until you see bubbles forming on the surface before flipping.
  • Keep the pancakes warm in the oven while you cook the rest.

Waffles 🧇

Waffles are like pancakes but with crispy edges! To make vegan waffles, you can use the same substitutions as for pancakes.

What’s great about waffles is that you can switch up the batter to make different flavors. For example, you can add cocoa powder for chocolate waffles or pumpkin puree for a fall-inspired twist.

To get the perfect crispy texture, make sure you don’t overmix the batter. And if you want extra crispy waffles, try using a Belgian waffle maker.

Some topping ideas for waffles:

  • Fresh berries
  • Vegan whipped cream
  • Peanut butter
  • Maple syrup

French Toast 🍞

French toast is a classic breakfast dish that’s easy to make vegan. Instead of using eggs, you can use a mixture of non-dairy milk and cornstarch to dip the bread.

To make the French toast extra indulgent, try using thick slices of brioche or challah bread. And don’t forget the cinnamon and vanilla for flavor!

Some topping ideas for French toast:

  • Sliced bananas
  • Powdered sugar
  • Vegan butter and syrup
  • Coconut whipped cream
