Everyone knows breakfast is the most important meal of the day…but that’s ESPECIALLY true when you’re traveling, walking all over and exploring a new city. So if you’re a responsible adult and not someone that starts off their day with cinnamon sugar on toast (*cough*) or Speculoos-chocolate spread sandwiches (who, me?!) check out this guest post from Lucy Gomez of Get Camping Wild. In it, she shares four delicious vegan breakfast sandwich recipes. T
In the post, Lucy shares four delicious vegan breakfast sandwich recipes. The avocado toast in particular is something you can whip up just about anywhere (okay, unless you don’t have a toaster in your vacation rental or hotel room, but I have heard you can make toast with an iron and ironing board – kids, don’t try this one at home!). And don’t worry about the fact that you can’t just stop at a drive-through for a breakfast on the run on your road trip — when you can whip up Lucy’s vegan version of a McDonald’s breakfast sandwich and pack it in your car!

CHEESE AND PANCAKE SAMMIE
Introducing the Cheese and Pancake Vegan Breakfast Sammie- the best way to start your day following a perhaps too exciting night out.
To Make the Vegan Pancakes:
NOTE: Bisquick isn’t vegan in every country. If the Bisquick in your country is not vegan, try these 5-minute vegan pancakes from scratch instead.
Ingredients:
– 2 cups Bisquick
– 2 tsp baking powder
– 2 tbsp sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla
– Oil or vegan butter
– 1 cup non-dairy milk
– 2 slices of Vegan Cheese
– vegan bacon
– tofu
– desired ingredients for tofu scramble
Instructions:
1. Mix the first four ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add milk while stirring slowly. Keep stirring until the consistency you have
achieved is exactly to your liking. Hint: for fluffier pancakes, allow your batter to sit
for a few minutes before you begin cooking.
3. Heat a pan to medium heat and use a small amount of oil, or Earth Balance vegan
butter.
4. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan. Flip the pancakes when bubbles pop up upon
the batter and do not fill in.
5. Cook both sides until golden and delicious.
To Assemble the Sandwiches:
1. Set pancakes aside.
2. Cook vegan bacon and scramble tofu.
3. Add any condiments or extra toppings, as desired, to the pancakes.
4. Using the vegan pancakes as a bun, assemble your beautiful vegan breakfast
sandwich.
5. Enjoy!
