19 High-Protein Vegan Breakfasts that Are Plant-Based and Totally Satisfying

The peanut butter, oats and nut milk will keep you full until lunchtime rolls around, but the even better part is that it’s ready when you roll out of bed. Just assemble the jar the night before, and add the toppings on your way out the door.

A frittata without eggs? Yep, it’s a thing, thanks to protein-rich chickpea flour, which acts like eggs when combined with water. Toss in any vegetables you like (or whatever’s hanging around in your fridge).

Admittedly, this is a big breakfast cookie. You could easily split it in half and still get 12 grams of protein in your morning meal. (Or eat the whole thing; we won’t judge.)

Cake for breakfast is totally acceptable when it’s made with nutritious spelt flour and blueberries. Banana bread who?

See ya later, cheese: This plant-based version of chilaquiles is made with crumbled tofu and is ready in just 15 minutes.

It cooks like eggs, looks like eggs and even tastes a lot like eggs. You had us fooled (and don’t even get us started on the juicy mango salsa).

Sure, these waffles are tasty and downright gorgeous, but they also happen to be gluten-free, since buckwheat flour isn’t a grain, unlike traditional wheat flour.

Just swap the honey for maple syrup or agave if you want to keep it truly vegan. Just don’t skip the chia seeds, which are key to this smoothie’s protein punch.

This plant-based porridge is the morning calm we need after hitting snooze twice. It’s made with chamomile tea, which is known to be soothing and tastes slightly floral.

It’s sweet and rich enough to taste decadent, but also has plenty of protein to keep you satiated until your next meal. (And that’s more than we can say for most granolas.)

Swap the usual oats for quinoa, which is gluten-free and loaded with plant-based protein. The berries and coconut are a lovely touch, but customize it as you see fit. Might we suggest peaches and almonds, or bananas and pecans?

FYI, regular avocado toast contains only about six grams of protein. But if you add chickpeas…well, it’s a total game-changer. The tahini dressing is just gilding the lily at this point.

They’re as fluffy and flavorful as any diner short stack, but a little more nutritious and ready in 20 minutes.

Chickpeas and sweet potatoes are both relatively high in protein as far as vegetables go. It only makes sense to combine them into one simple, savory dish.

These savory crepes make a delicious and deceptively fancy breakfast, but you could also serve them for lunch or dinner.

Can you believe there’s a cup each of spinach and cauliflower in there? Not at first sip you can’t.

It’s basically the building block for any savory, protein-rich vegan breakfast. Eggs need not apply.

It tastes like a Creamsicle and is best if you make it the night before. Who doesn’t love a make-ahead breakfast?

As far as we know, there’s no rule that says your breakfast can’t taste like dessert (especially if you sneak a cup of spinach in there).
