The lemon in this recipe mixes with the baking soda to create little bubbles that lift the pancakes into pillowy comfort food. Cooking the pancakes slowly over low heat allows them to cook up into the perfect texture.

Vegan Breakfast Ideas: French Toast
Vegan French toast can seem tricky. After all, if you’re used to making this dish with lots of eggs and milk, you might wonder what you should substitute to make them vegan.

Vegan Breakfast Ideas: Eggs
Vegan eggs recipes sound a little contradictory. When you think about what’s in an egg, it makes sense, however. Eggs deliver protein and a neutral flavor that can be paired with just about any other ingredient. You can replace eggs with tofu, chickpea flour, flax meal, chia seeds and agar agar powder. Using kala namak, Indian black salt, delivers that eggy sulfur flavor that you might otherwise miss out on when you make vegan eggs recipes.

Vegan Breakfast Ideas: Crepes
Crepes can easily be made into a vegan recipe with a few substitutions. Fill them with something sweet or savory, or just eat them plain.
