Creamy porridge, pancakes with fruit and nuts, crunchy muesli or a fruity smoothie – a balanced and healthy breakfast is the perfect start to a productive day. The motto is: Homemade is thought ahead. Because many products from the supermarket contain too much added sugar, salt and flavor enhancers instead of whole grains, superfoods and organic ingredients.

Creative breakfast recipes: the basis for healthy enjoyment in the morning
To create delicious vegan recipes for a balanced breakfast, a small but fine selection of vegan ingredients is sufficient. With our favorites you can prepare your favorite porridge, pancakes, organic snacks, muesli or waffles.
With fruit, nuts and superfoods such as linseeds, chia seeds or delicious nut butter variants, you can round off your vegan breakfast with variety and enjoy a new taste experience every day. We'll show you here how versatile vegan breakfast basics are.
The base: whole grain oats
Oat flakes are real power packs and can be used in many different ways, not just in vegan cuisine.
If you buy oat flakes from an organic store or supermarket, make sure you choose whole grains. It is even better if the flakes are sprouted - then they are easier to digest and the valuable nutrients are much more readily available to the body. You can use water or a plant-based drink of your choice, for example made from almonds, to prepare them. Whether raw or cooked, oat flakes are the ideal basis for a whole range of our favorite vegan breakfast dishes:
Porridge
The ever-popular porridge is filling, healthy and provides you with valuable energy in the morning. To do this, simply let the oat flakes and plant drink boil to the desired consistency. Depending on your hunger, you need around 50 grams of oat flakes and 250 milliliters of liquid for one serving.
Tip: You can also easily prepare overnight oats with oatmeal – a super delicious vegan breakfast to take with you .
pancake
Pancakes without flour: does it work? And yes, with oatmeal. Because these little power packs can be easily chopped in a blender and, with a ripe banana and a plant-based drink of your choice, make a wonderfully fluffy batter for healthy breakfast pancakes . Add cinnamon, vanilla or cocoa powder to the batter as desired.
Tip: You can also eat pancakes, i.e. the smaller, rounder version, for lunch or dinner. With a warm compote of berries or apples and a dollop of soy yoghurt, this recipe is guaranteed to appeal to everyone - whether vegan or not.
Granola
Could your favorite muesli use a little more crunch? Here's your new favorite recipe: Bake a homemade crunchy granola from wholegrain oat flakes, seeds and nuts and sweeten your creation as desired with agave syrup or date syrup. Your homemade muesli topping not only tastes heavenly, it also contains no added refined sugar.
Tip: But be careful, it's lurking here: hidden added sugar! If you want to mix your granola with dried fruits, make sure that no products sweetened with refined sugar end up in your shopping or shopping cart. You can find information about this in the ingredients list.
muesli
In contrast to granola, the ingredients for muesli are not baked, but enjoyed raw. If you enjoy creative kitchen sessions, you will definitely have a lot of fun putting together muesli and granola. From oat flakes to almonds, coconut flakes, kernels and seeds to superfood toppings and dried fruit - there are no limits to your culinary creativity. You can mix your self-created ready-made mix together in larger quantities and fill it into storage jars.
Tip: Have you ever tried the combination of muesli and herbs? It just sounds strange at first, but tastes even better the second. Fresh mint or even a little basil give your muesli a summery, fresh taste.
The toppings: fruits and nuts
We like to top our oatmeal-based vegan breakfast with fresh, organic fruits, dried fruits and nuts. To avoid hidden added sugar, you can easily prepare your toppings yourself. Want some inspiration? Here are some of our favorite combinations.
Regional: A crunchy mix of almonds and apples
To top a delicious smoothie bowl or our favorite porridge, we like to use regional products. A mix of apples and pears provides a nice crunch. When selecting organic quality almonds, we make sure that the small energy suppliers come from Europe, for example from Spain.
Seasonal: Fresh berries and walnut kernels
Berries contain, among other things, many antioxidants as well as vitamin B, vitamin C and calcium. Walnuts contain a lot of vitamin E, magnesium, zinc and many other vitamins. The mixture is therefore a healthy and varied topping idea for a delicious vegan breakfast, and not just for vegans.
Holiday feeling: South Sea fruits and pistachios
Are you looking for topping ideas with a vacation vibe for your favorite porridge, waffles, or oatmeal-based muesli? Then treat yourself to a taste of a short holiday with a mix of fresh pineapple, sweet bananas, and sweet-sour passion fruit. Crunchy pistachios round off the fruity enjoyment and score with unsaturated fatty acids, fiber, and vitamin B.
The Add-ons: Our Superfood Favorites
We come to the healthy add-ons for your vegan breakfast: a fine selection of superfoods. These delicious all-round talents do not contain any added sugar and complement your smoothie in the morning as well as porridge, muesli, waffles and, in combination with fresh herbs, even a salad during your lunch break. We'll tell you which superpowers make them a great addition to delicious breakfast ideas:
flaxseed
- Superpower: Flaxseed is a local superfood that contains high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and magnesium.
- Use: As a topping for the smoothie bowl, made into porridge with whole grain oat flakes or in your smoothie. It is best to use ground linseed.
chia seeds
- Super power: Just like flax seeds, chia seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids and fiber and also score points with their high protein content.
- Use: As a base for chia pudding, in your favorite porridge or muesli, for the morning smoothie, in the smoothie bowl or mixed with water as an egg substitute for pancakes or banana bread.
Goji berries
- Super power: Goji berries contain, among other things, many antioxidants that fight free radicals, as well as important trace elements, magnesium and iron.
- Use: As an ingredient for your homemade granola, as a topping for porridge and smoothie bowls, as a fruity addition to your muesli.
Cacao nibs

Super power: Cocoa nibs are obtained from cocoa beans and contain, among other things, fiber, magnesium, calcium and polyphenols.
