Breakfast Recipes Without Eggs

I have a passion for crafting breakfast recipes that are both delightful and nutritious—especially those sans eggs. Most recently, I combined rolled oats, almond milk, and some of my other favorite breakfast elements to make this creamy, dreamy, and totally wholesome way to start the day.

I think this combo is so good that I wouldn’t be surprised if it became a cult favorite. It’s certainly a morning bowl that keeps giving: for sustenance, I count on the fiber that the oats and chia seeds alone pack.

I use almond milk mainly because I love the creaminess it imparts, but any milk will do (including water, if you’re looking for a low-calorie option). Sliced banana and fresh berries take care of the sweetness department, while a hint of cinnamon and a spoonful of vanilla extract ensures that this breakfast is brimming with flavor.

Ingredients

Oats Rolled: They are fibrous, and that is what provides the long-lasting energy and good digestion that makes eating oats an all-around healthy choice.

Almond milk is a dairy-free and low-calorie beverage that is high in vitamin E.

The following food is rich in protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids:

Chia seeds
Banana: Sweet by nature, potassium-rich, and loaded with vitamins B6 and C.

Cinnamon: Infuses warmth and spice.

It is well recognized for its anti-inflammatory properties.

Maple Syrup: Sweetener derived from nature; it contains antioxidants and minerals (like zinc) often in short supply.
