Why These Are the Best Vegan Brunch Recipes
This isn’t one of those random roundups full of recipes the writer has never even tried. Every single recipe here was created and perfected in our tiny Northeast Philly kitchen over the past 10 years by us!
We’ve brought every single one of these dishes to real-life brunches with our friends and family (who aren’t even vegan!), and they still came out winners. So you can trust these dishes to win over your crowd too.
Brunch has always been a special ritual for us and how we connected after a long week. T has a serious sweet tooth, while I’d happily choose savory breakfast every time. As such, the recipes in this round-up are a mix of both indulgent treats and hearty, satisfying plates.
No matter your taste, you can rest assured you’ll find something here to fit your style so you can create your own fantastic brunch spread – whether it’s a cozy Sunday at home, a holiday gathering, or a graduation brunch buffet!

Savory Vegan Brunch Ideas
If you’re like me and feel like a sweet brunch leaves you hungry an hour later, these savory vegan brunch recipes are for you. From hearty casseroles to scrumptious sides, they’re perfect for a filling brunch buffet.
Our vegan hashbrown casserole is hands-down one of the most popular recipes on the blog, and for good reason: It’s cheesy, comforting, and the ultimate crowd-pleaser. Another go-to is our rice paper bacon, which has shocked more than one bacon-lover with how crisp and smoky it is. And if you’re looking for something make-ahead, our loaded vegan breakfast casserole never fails to deliver. Same with this vegan veggie cream cheese spread on rye toast or bagels!
You’re also sure to love our vegan fried egg, which makes a great addition to any breakfast sandwich or served with our wildly popular seitan ham and some roasted potatoes. And for quick mornings, we always keep a jar of our tofu scramble seasoning on hand…maybe throwing a little walnut sausage in there if we’re feeling it. It makes whipping up a savory scramble ridiculously easy!

Of course, sometimes brunch is made easier with a few store-bought helpers! Products such as JUST Egg, Beyond Meat, and Impossible Sausage are lifesavers when you want to make eggless scrambles or hearty breakfast sandwiches.
We also love Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry. It makes incredible vegan turnovers and even doubles as a quiche crust like in this Simple Vegan Quiche.
