1. Banana Bread Muffins
It doesn't get much more delicious than moist banana bread in muffin form! Made with our PLANTSTRONG Cornbread & Muffin Mix, these banana bread muffins are a huge hit every time we make them. PLANTSTRONG Pro Tip: they taste even more incredible when warm!
2. Cinnamon Roll Sheet Pan Pancakes
Is it even the holiday season without cinnamon rolls? Our Cinnamon Roll Sheet Pan Pancakes recipe tastes like a cinnamon roll, but saves you literally hours of prep and bake time. You can make these with any pancake mix of your choosing, but we used our PLANTSTRONG Pancake Mix – gluten-free or regular!
3. Apple Grunt
The best part of following a PLANTSTRONG lifestyle is that our desserts are so healthy, you could eat them for breakfast! Our Grandma's Apple Grunt looks extra fancy, but is very easy to throw together thanks to our PLANTSTRONG Pancake & Waffle Mix. This is the perfect plant-based holiday breakfast to use up a ton of fresh apples and wow your family at the same time!
4. Berry Cereal Milk Waffles
Remember the days where cereal milk was all the rage? Well, it's for good reason. Something magical occurs when you soak our Mixed Berry Crumble Granola with plant milk...and then use that plant milk to make waffles! Our Berry Cereal Milk Waffles are trendy, delicious, and good for you! You can use any waffle mix of our choosing, or one our PLANTSTRONG blends.
5. Pumpkin Sheet Pan Pancakes
We firmly believe that pumpkin season does *not* end with Thanksgiving. Our Pumpkin Sheet Pan Pancakes are so good, we'd enjoy them all year if we could! You can use any pancake mix you'd like, or one of our PLANTSTRONG Pancake & Waffle Mixes. If you haven't made pancakes in a sheet pan, you need to try it! It's amazing making enough pancakes for 12 guests all in one go.
6. Savory Pancakes
Just because it's a holiday doesn't mean we don't need our greens! These golden hued pancakes are the perfect savory breakfast, if you're looking for something a bit more hearty. Top them with sautéed greens and veggies of your choosing, although we love the kale and mushroom combination we used! A plant-based holiday breakfast that helps you achieve your nutrition goals? Yes, please!
7. Waffle Board
The holidays are the perfect time to have fun with your food! Our waffle board not only serves a crowd in one go, but looks gorgeous doing it. Whip up a batch of your favorite waffles and arrange them on a baking sheet or cutting board accompanied by your favorite fruits, sauces, maple syrup, and more. There's something for everyone to love, all on one plate!
8. Gingerbread Spice Latte
Say goodbye to your daily coffee shop runs and make our Gingerbread Spice Latte instead! We craft a delicious simple syrup made with gingerbread spices and date sugar to keep it refined sugar-free. This recipe makes a large batch, so you can make up to 10 drinks! This syrup tastes fantastic whether you like your lattes made with coffee or tea. Don't forget our PLANTSTRONG Unsweetened Almond Milk frothed on top!
9. Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats
If you're looking for a delicious plant-based holiday breakfast you can set and forget, try our Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats! This recipe also uses pre-made granola instead of having to source all the other ingredients – because you deserve to have a luxurious holiday morning, too! Our creamy PLANTSTRONG Oat Walnut milk and pumpkin purée are the finishing touches that make this a delicious and nutritious holiday breakfast.
10. Cranberry Walnut Sheet Pan Pancakes
You can never have too many Sheet Pan Pancakes recipes! This rendition uses cinnamon cranberries, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds to dress up our PLANTSTRONG Pancake & Waffle Mix, or a mix of your choosing. Drizzle with maple syrup and a pinch of lemon zest for an extra kick!
11. Lavender London Fog Latte
Tea lovers, don't miss this one! Brew a strong cup of our PLANTSTRONG Breakfast Tea along with some citrus zest to bring out those earthy flavors. We then infuse our plant milk with some dried lavender for a delicious yet calming beverage to start your day on the right foot. We love our Oat & Almond Milk in this, but you can use any milk you'd like!
