Are you avoiding eggs for any reason whatsoever, and finding it's hard to come up with some healthy alternatives for breakfast ideas without eggs? We've got a solution for that!
I'm not always pumped to write blog posts, to be honest, but today I'm ready to go! Just the other day, one of my favorite comedians, Anjelah Johnson, followed me on Instagram. So I reached out.
Anjelah let me know that she was looking for breakfast ideas that didn't have eggs, so I wanted to put this list together for her. If you're lucky enough to stumble upon it, you can thank her for the inspiration!
17 breakfast ideas (with calories listed) that do not include eggs:
Of course, I'm going to list the one that Anjelah pointed out first:
Southwestern Quinoa Bowl is like all the favorite things you have in a burrito situation, without the actual wrapper. Quinoa ups the protein significantly and keeps rice out of the equation. Also happens to be vegan, but feel free to use vegan cheese or regular cheese. Because burritos. And nary an egg in sight.
Blueberry Breakfast Bars (605 calories) How did blueberries become one of the go-to morning fruits?Don't answer that. Instead, make these because they're vegan, full of oats, and served with vegan (or regular) plain yogurt.
Cinnamon Almond-Butter Protein Balls (405 calories) Protein balls are awesome because they come together fast and they are really satisfying. The only challenge? Can you eat just one? Might need to pair this with a breakfast salad.
Banana and Berry Overnight Oats (479 Calories) We never tire of overnight oats recipes, especially ones that are super easy to prep. Serve with fresh strawberries and one of our faves, almonds. This breakfast without eggs will keep you full until lunchtime.
Stupid Easy Blueberry Muffins (288 Calories) Yes, you can have a muffin for breakfast, and in a flash, too, because these are as the recipe promises, "stupid easy."
Vegan Quinoa-Oat Bars (294 Calories) Just mix the ingredients together and bake it off in a lined loaf pan. Serve with fresh clementine segments for another breakfast idea without eggs.
AIP-Friendly Breakfast Hash (530 Calories) Sausage, sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts. These three are made for each other and offer up a hearty egg-free breakfast situation.
Homemade Granola + Vanilla Greek yogurt - 199 Calories (granola only) We can never get enough of delicious granola recipes, and a simple Greek yogurt, vanilla or not, is a great accompaniment for a protein-packed breakfast that avoids eggs.
No-Bake Energy Bars with Berries (416 calories) No bake and energy are two words that should go together more often. Dates, pecans, cacao, coconut, shall we continue? No? Just make 'em!
Strawberry-Chocolate Granola Squares (336 calories) Any time there's another way to prepare granola, we're all in. This one only feels decadent, and packs in the protein thanks to almond butter.
Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie (336 calories) It was about time we mentioned a smoothie, right? Flaxseed, bananas, and peanut butter blend together and taste like a milkshake. Elvis would approve of this particular breakfast idea without eggs.
Healthy Chilaquiles (407 calories) Are you ready for more south-of-the-border inspired breakfast ideas without eggs.
Eggless Waffles (429 calories) So delicious! No eggs, just leavening from the usual sources, plus buttermilk! You'll never miss the egg here.
Avocado Toast 4 Ways - (Calories vary) Avocado is more than just a stand-in for a breakfast without eggs. It's its own thing altogether. Load them with sliced tomatoes, everything bagel seeds, red pepper flakes, chopped radishes, it's your call.
Sweet Potato Toast Four Ways (Calories vary) Your mornings will never be the same once you combine toast and sweet potatoes. These can go sweet or savory, depending on your preference!
Egg-Free Cinnamon rolls (408 calories) Ok, admittedly, this is a breakfast idea without eggs, but it's not the healthiest breakfast item. Still, no eggs in this treat, so if you need something sweet that can't have eggs, go for it!
