    Vegan Breakfast Recipes

    Start your day with flavorful, nourishing vegan breakfast recipes. From traditional Middle Eastern breakfasts like foul salad, the Syrian way of preparing fava beans, to comfort food made plant-based, like vegan shakshuka, these recipes celebrate Mediterranean flavors.

    For a savory breakfast, try scrambled tofu with spinach, a protein-packed option. If you’re in the mood for something sweet, golden oatmeal is comforting and nourishing.
