Welcome fellow brunch enthusiasts! As a vegan, it can be tough to find brunch options that fulfill that classic savory breakfast craving without compromising our values. Fear not, for I have compiled a list of delicious vegan brunch recipes for those of us who miss the taste of eggs and bacon. Bring on the plant-based goodness!

Tofu Scramble 🍳

If you’re missing the taste of scrambled eggs, look no further than the versatile tofu scramble. The key to a delicious tofu scramble is seasoning and texture. Crumble your tofu and sauté it with onions and garlic, then add in your favorite veggies like peppers and spinach. Season with turmeric, cumin, and nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor. Toast some bread, add some avocado and salsa on top, and voila - a breakfast of champions!

Tempeh Bacon 🥓

Ah, the classic breakfast staple - bacon. But fear not, for tempeh bacon is here to save the day. Slice your tempeh thinly and marinate it in a mixture of soy sauce, maple syrup, liquid smoke, and garlic powder. Then, fry it up until crisp and place it on top of your tofu scramble or stack it on a breakfast sandwich. You won’t even miss the real thing!
