high protein vegan breakfast sandwich
If you’re anything like me, breakfast is usually something quick, easy, and on the lighter side — a smoothie, a bowl of porridge, something sweet and simple that you can throw together without much thought.
But every now and then (especially at the weekend for me), that’s just not what hits the spot.
Sometimes, what you really want is something savoury!
That’s where our newest creation comes in.
This is my take on a classic fast-food breakfast muffin — but made completely plant-based and with a much more nourishing twist. We’re talking a soft roll layered with a homemade vegan egg patty, crispy plant-based bacon, and juicy vegan sausages… everything you’d want from a breakfast sandwich, just made in a way that actually supports your goals and doesn’t harm animals.
And the best part? Each sandwich packs an incredible 33 grams of protein, making it a genuinely satisfying, muscle-friendly option that will keep you full for hours.
The “egg” layer is made from a base of tofu, blended with simple, wholesome ingredients to create that classic texture and flavour — but without any gross ovulations!
And when it comes to the sausages and bacon, you can absolutely make this your own. Go with your favourites, but if you can, I’d recommend choosing options that are lower in oil and salt.
Now let’s get to the recipe…
