10 Best Breakfasts That Don't Involve Eggs
These egg-free breakfast ideas are more than satisfying. From baked oatmeal to a tofu scramble, find a new way to get yourself fed this morning!


Just because eggs are synonymous with breakfast, it doesn't mean you have to start cracking shells first thing in the morning. There are plenty of reasons you might want to ditch the yolk, after all: egg prices, an allergy, or maybe you just forgot to pick up a dozen on your latest grocery run. Maybe you just don't like eggs! No matter the reason, you've got options, and we got inspiration. Here, we've rounded up 10 must-make recipes that are completely egg-free.
Spinach Tofu Scramble

Let tofu take a starring role in your next scramble! The vegan breakfast is packed with tofu, spinach, onion, nutritional yeast, and a dash of turmeric. Let this review from one of our readers, Max, convince you it's the breakfast du jour: "This tofu scramble is delightful, I made it this weekend and I will for sure make it again. Maybe next time with broccoli." Smart idea!
Instant Pot Oatmeal With Apples and Cinnamon

Want to make a hot breakfast that the whole family will love? Look no further than this Instant Pot oatmeal. The whole thing takes 40 minutes start to finish, and serves six people. The oats are cooked with apples, brown sugar, maple syrup, and a little cinnamon, and served with chopped nuts and a pat of butter.
Chicken Congee (Jook)

Recipe developer Frank Tiu says that congee, also known as jook or rice porridge, is "the ultimate Chinese comfort food, especially when served hot during the cold and flu season, but it’s a soothing meal any time of day regardless of how you’re feeling." Traditionally made with simple ingredients like rice, water, and salt, it's a staple breakfast that's meant to be stretched for days.
Corned Beef Hash

Made with just a handful of ingredients like potatoes, corned beef, and onion, this mighty breakfast is one of the hardiest things you can start your day with. While this dish is traditionally served with eggs, it would also be great with a side of roasted or steamed vegetables and some toast.
Pro tip: One of our readers, Johnny, suggested using tater tots instead of regular potatoes. How smart is that?
Grab-and-Go Oatmeal Chia Cups

Know you're going to have a busy week ahead? These grab-and-go cups are a satisfying option for breakfast. Made with oats, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, and milk as a base, it has 19 grams of protein per serving. You can top it with whatever you have available, but we recommend fresh berries, raisins, nuts, and a little honey. The make-ahead cups last in the fridge for up to five days.
Brownie Baked Oatmeal

Contributor Grace Elkus says, "If you’re looking to increase the protein content, you can stir in plant-based vanilla or chocolate protein when you add the oats. Just be sure to add an equal amount of extra milk."
Biscuits and Gravy

This classic southern recipe combines buttermilk biscuits with gravy that's loaded with sausage. It's the perfect dish to make for a leisurely Sunday, but it certainly wouldn't hurt on a weekday when you want something a little more special for breakfast. The rave reviews of this recipe don't lie. Reader Kimberly writes: "Thank you for thee best biscuit recipe ever!! I have been searching for 20 years and my family loved these so much!!"
Bran Muffins

Contributor Mark Beahm says, "To keep these egg-free, use two flax eggs. Prepare the flax eggs while the bran is toasting so they have time to thicken."
Avocado Toasts with Olive Relish, Tomatoes, and Balsamic

I see your avocado toast, and raise you avocado toast with a winning combination of toppings! The saltiness of the olives, mixed with the brininess of the feta, mixed with the creaminess of the avocado....I mean, come on. So good. One of our readers, Anastasia, agrees: "I tried out this recipe and it did not disappoint! Perfect mix of texture and flavor! Definitely on my list of recipes to share and make again. Thank you for bringing this awesome recipe into my cooking world!!!"
British Flapjacks

Mark says "Use quick-cook rolled oats, not instant oats and not old-fashioned rolled oats. Instant oats will make the flapjacks too dense, and rolled oats will fall apart. Quick-cook rolled oats are the Goldilocks oats for this bake."
