High protein, savory vegan breakfast recipe
No need to get a bunch of pots and pans messy, just cook everything on a sheet pan and you’ve got a delicious, healthy, easy high protein vegan breakfast ready to go for the whole week.
Holy Guacamole do I have an easy recipe for you. I’ve been a bit obsessed with making breakfast recipes lately. Well, there’s good reason! Vegan breakfasts are insanely easy and delicious.
This recipe is really fun to make. Here is my sheet-pan breakfast burrito bowl.
Because of the tofu and beans in this breakfast bowl, this dish is also high in protein.
“Tofu is high in protein and contains all of the essential amino acids your body needs. It also provides fats, carbs, and a wide variety of vitamins and minerals.” according to this healthline article
Tofu is so much better to eat in the mornings than eggs because tofu doesn’t contain any cholesterol so it’s good for you heart.
Tips for making this high protein vegan breakfast bowl
- Don’t worry about pressing the tofu. Baking it will get rid of the excess water.
- Use extra firm tofu
- Some of the foods might get dry if you bake them too long, so make sure you use a couple tablespoons of oil to keep everything tasty.
- You can get as creative as you want with the fillings, but my favorite things to put in my breakfast bowl are potatoes (of course) tofu scramble, peppers, mushrooms and onions. To save even more time, you can buy most of these things frozen
- To make this easier, use a frozen peppers and onions blend and then frozen hash browns.
- If you fancy a vegan breakfast burrito, you can use this as a filling, or just put it in a bowl, like I did, if you don’t have any wraps on hand.
- This burrito bowl definitely needs a creamy topping. Make sure to watch my recipe video below to find out how to make an easy vegan cream sauce that brings this whole dish together.
- Top it off with some store-bought or homemade guacamole, salsa and vegan sour cream and you’ve got yourself a delicious, healthy breakfast that will keep you full for hours.
- This is also freezer friendly. If you know you have a busy week ahead, make this on a Sunday, put it in a burrito wrap and cover tightly with tin foil. Pop them in the freezer or fridge and you’ve got breakfast burritos you can warm up and then take with you on the go.

Hi, Megan
I topped it off with some vegan sour cream. You can buy it from the store, or make your own by getting some vegan mayo and adding a squeeze of lemon juice and pinch of salt. This also tastes really good topped with guacamole, hot sauce and salsa.
