– Hey munchies! Welcome if you're new, I'm Alyssia A whole ago I launched a new ebook with over 100 vegan recipes
So today I've figured I'd share some of the easy breakfast options here with you since we're back to school and a lot of you are trying to get in that healthy fuel to start your day I hope you enjoy We're starting out with a super easy and versatile granola In a bowl I add rolled oats, almonds, cashews, pecans, you could of course use any nuts, and coconut shreds Mix! Separately I mix maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt
I add the dry to the wet, and stir well to integrate Then I can transfer it to a sheet pan or it might need two because this makes a lot of granola Line it with parchment and cook low and slow for about an hour and a half I like to wait until the end of cooking to stir it and break it up so I can have some larger and some smaller pieces Once removed from the oven you can stir in mixed raisins or dried fruit of your choice and enjoy, or store for later
The beauty of this recipe is it is a base recipe that you can swap in and out to your heart's content Use your favorite nuts, sub the coconut for any seed oil, mix in any dried fruit You can really have fun with it and make it different every time Cooking it low and slow gets it crunchy without burning I love it as a parfait with yogurt or plain as a snack
Next we've got a vegan omelette Sounds like an oxymoron but we're doing it First I'm going to get the filling of my omelette made I add a bit of oil with onion and mushroom cooking a few minutes until softened Then I add spinach and let that wilt down and season to taste with salt and pep
Spinach, mushroom and onion make for one of my favorite omelette fillings but you can use anything you prefer For the eggs to a blender I add tofu, almond milk, nutritional yeast, corn starch or arrow root powder, baking powder for fluffiness, onion powder, a pinch of turmeric, salt and pepper and a pinch of kala namak, which I have no idea how to say, but it's an Indian black salt that sort of gives this an eggy taste I got it on Amazon and I will link it in the description Blend that up until it looks like a pancake batter, not too thick or thin And then we can get our skillet going over medium heat with a bit of oil or spray
Add your batter and cover until smooth Once it's beginning to bubble reduce the heat to medium and allow it to firm on the bottom Now this may take eight to 10 minutes so let it go low and be patient When it's firm enough to lift up on the side add your fillings Make sure the middle is not liquidy and is set, and then you can fold the omelette over and top with salsa or whatever you prefer
Holy moly! Does that look like an omelette? Common, that's a pretty convincing omelette And to be honest, I'm sure the way it looks helps to fool the brain because it actually tastes omelettey, too I am a huge fan of regular egg omelettes and I totally devoured this one Thumbs up if you are enjoying these vegan recipes Could you take a quick moment to just hit that Subscribe button, and the bell, and the thumbs-up? Did you do it? I'm not even making you pause the video to do it
Just please hit all the buttons except for the thumbs-down button How about a classic favorite, kicked-up-a-notch sweet potato toast? I have a few of these in the ebook and on my website and I've shared a video before so check that out for further info on how to actually slice the potato But once you've got your toasts, you can toast them up in the toaster or toaster oven and add your favorite toppings This one's got black bean hummus with cucumber, hemp seeds and a drizzle of olive oil It's really so simple but so beautiful and actually has a lot of flavor with just a few common ingredients
You could use regular hummus but I like to switch it up Of course you could also totally use regular bread as toast too, but I love getting even more nutritious carbs in for breakfast when I can Okay, we've probably saved the best for last, banana bread This is the recipe to save those browning bananas for Mash them up until chunky
Add sugar or sweetener of choice, coconut oil, almond milk and vanilla extract Whisk to incorporate Sift in your oat flour Then add baking soda, cinnamon and salt Stir to mix
And stir in some chopped nuts if you'd like Sifting the flour is gonna help this mix together more easily and evenly and if you make your own oat flour, which you should because it's literally blending up oats in the blender, then it's nice to get out those bigger pieces so you have a consistent bread Into the loaf pan it goes and I like to add rolled oats and banana slices on top because it looks nice and we eat with our eyes first Cover with foil and bake Remove the foil to finish it off and when a toothpick comes out clean, it's done
Cool completely before slicing I like to use the foil lining so it's easy to remove from the pan Wow-za! Talk about moist No eggs, no dairy and totally hard to resist So don't even try to resist
