There’s nothing more magical than waking up on Christmas morning with the redolence of sizzling, smoked mushroom bacon, or pillowy chocolate chip pancakes with a dust of powdered sugar.
Unless, of course, you’re the one cooking - then, I guess, you’re waking up to a vegan Christmas breakfast recipes menu plan.
Growing up, I was the lucky girl to wake up to a full Christmas morning breakfast. It was tradition - and it was also to hype us for the grand finale: gifts. Now, I cook breakfast for Christmas to keep the magic and tradition alive - plant-based style.
The only difference is now we are switching out the animal-based meals with ones that are vegan and plant-based friendly.
