Vegan Holiday Brunch Ideas

Holiday Dinners - whether it's Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's Day, all have a certain similarity. Families work hard to prepare them, and they're time-consuming to cook. The family spends lots of time together before the big meal is served. Families are either up early to go to Church, or sleep late - either way, by late morning, there are hungry tummies, but dinner is hours away. And, the last thing anyone wants is hunger-inspired grumpiness on a big Holiday!

So, Holiday Brunch to the rescue!

Most of my Brunch dishes come from mixes you make yourself, and can be easily whipped up without a lot of hassle. But, for even greater convenience, and less holiday stress, most of the Pancakes, French Toast, and Waffles below can be prepared in advance and stored in the freezer, and simply toasted in a toaster oven on the big day. Similarly, the Muffins can be thawed and warmed up for serving. The Vegan Sausages can be prepared ahead and stored in the freezer to be microwaved as needed.

And, keep an eye out for an upcoming Christmas Dinner post! : )


Here are some ideas for what you can serve:

Pumpkin Spice Waffles



Apple Cinnamon Muffins





Apple Cinnamon Pancakes
(I have not tried freezing these - I always prepare them fresh)

Blueberry Pancakes




French Toast



Grilled Banana Pancakes 
(I have not tried freezing these - I always prepare them fresh)



Vegan Cranberry Streusel Muffins
(I have not tried freezing these - I always prepare them fresh)



Vegan Pumpkin Mini Muffins



Vegan Sausage Patties 
These are surprisingly popular with Omnivores, because they have a great flavor, a spiciness reminiscent of sausage, but don't pretend to be meat. They're great for sandwiches made on Naan with Dijon mustard, Lettuce, Tomato, and Onion.




Scrambled Tofu






Breakfast Burritos 
While Burritos may not be your traditional Holiday Brunch fare, some folks just love a savory breakfast, and this fits the bill.




Simply Fruit Salad

    While we aren't vegans, I do try to incorporate vegan dishes into our meal rotation. I love, love, love how breakfast items easily translate over and no one even thinks about it. Like the fact my family can tell no big difference between a vegan pancake and one with eggs added...lol

      Thanks for visiting - it's very true - Vegan breakfasts are easy. I'm always a little surprised when someone says, "But you can't make pancakes/muffins/waffles without eggs, can you?" Once you know a couple of tricks, it's suddenly really easy - and it's hard to tell the difference : )
