I am getting so tired of bagels, english muffins and toast. Other than cereal and oatmeal, what the heck is there left to eat?
(no meat or egg suggestions though please).
Thanks!

Hiya,
I have a tricky time with breakfast too 'cause I don't like a lot of 'breakfast-y' foods. I usually tend to stick to toast and stuff, but I do like some breakfast bars and soy yogurts are good. I like canned fruit as well in the mornings.
Good luck, I'll be watching this post too for ideas!

You could try this... French Toast Casserole although it does have eggs in it.
Here's another one to try... Casey's Orange Juice Pancakes
And another... Restaurant Style Buttermilk Pancakes to make the buttermilk, just whisk some cider vinegar in your rice/soy milk
If none of these work, visit the recipe exchange index, you're bound to find something there.
I've just been changing my oatmeal every morning... some mornings I even put dried cranberries in it. Dried fruit is a really good way for me to get my insolubles.

a few more if your not on the weightloss side of things... banana bread (or chocolate banana bread) and even peppermint fudge cake work for breakfast if your ok with that.. I've also been known to just have applesauce for breakfast with my SFS stirred in!
good luck! I don't love breakfast foods either.. I sometimes even do pasta or other leftovers for breakfast.. and rissoto works well too..

Hi Rachel,
Wow, some great suggestions. Casey's pancakes are looking like a pretty good Sunday morning breakfast right now. Pretty easy too. Yum.
I like the idea about adding fruit to oatmeal too.
Thanks!

No, I definitely don't need to lose weight. I like the banana bread idea. The problem is that I've tried to make it a few times and it always turns out yucky.
Maybe I'll look at the recipe section and find a new recipe to try.
Thanks!

Ok, thanks. There have already been some good suggestions.
My ideal breakfast would be: a fresh chocolate & strawberry crepe topped with whipped cream, a croissant and a mocha coffee. Not gonna happen... That's what I woke up thinking this morning. Just thinking about it made me full though.

I'll write out my recipe later.. I don't use heathers, but the same one I always did, just sub applesauce and a small amount of oil for the shortening in it! I have also been known to sub cocoa for some of the flour to make it chocolate..

I first made my own applesauce by cooking 2 apples & mashing them up (leaving a few small chunks). But you could use unsweetened bottled applesauce. Everyone in my family thought they were great. Wonderful for breakfast.

I just looked for it again on the site & couldn't find it. Don't remember how I found it the first time. But I wrote it down, so I've got it in my kitchen.
I'll be happy to post it. It was very easy!

...actually reheat really quickly and easily, so I make a double batch and keep them in the fridge. To reheat, just toss them in a *dry* frying pan for a minute or so on each side. It's really that quick, which makes them perfect for workday breakfasts too.

...is my favorite so far. Rice pudding is good breakfast food too. If you don't want to go through the trouble of making a whole batch of rice pudding, a much quicker alternative is to microwave some leftover rice with soy milk in it for moisture, then sweeten, add a dash of vanilla & a sprinkle of cinnamon.
And I'm with Amie... leftovers always work for breakfast if I'm feeling like breakfast food just isn't going to cut it.

Woo-hoo Casey! Perfect!
Hey, while I've got you here, can I ask you something? I remember we were both struggling with our weights when we last spoke..um...posted.
Have you gained any weight yet? I have gained about 4 lbs without really trying. My appetite has really come back.
Just curious and, as always, hope you're doing great!

Frozen waffles like Kashi or I bet you could make pancakes and waffles and freeze them yourself. I started cream of wheat today as it has less calories than oatmeal and I might make it with chocolate soy milk tomorrow! or cream of rice maybe if you rather. It takes 1-2 minutes to cook in microwave. Oh and chunky cinnamon bread or raisin bread with no HFCS in it. If you want to be naughty than things that you should have for dessert- just add some canned fruit! Or muffins or scones if you can find low fat recipes.

These are really great.
Mix together: 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup canola oil, 2 egg whites.
Combine & add to above mixture:
1 cup applesauce (unsweetened)
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cloves (I omitted this ingredient)
Pour in lined muffin tins. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.
I made homemade applesauce using 2 apples (peeled, cored, & cooked for 20 minutes in a little water). This gave the muffins a really fresh taste. I'm sure they're good with the bottled applesauce, too.
Enjoy!!

Yes, I should try and look for some vegan frozen waffles at a health food store. Eggos are have eggs and milk in them.
Muffins are also a great suggestion.
Thanks.

Heather has a great recipe for french tost on this site. Also, a friend of mine gave me a great recipe for pancakes that I revamped to make it safe. (I know everyone is different but it doesn't make me sick.)
1/4 c. egg beater or 2 egg whites
1 c. soy milk
1 c. flour
1/4 c. quick oats
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
mix in a blender. Spray a skillet with non stick spray. Pour the batter in an let it cook till bubbles form. Flip the pan cake and let it cook for another 30 seconds to a minute. (Poke a fork in it - if batter runs out it's not ready yet.) Enjoy your breakfast. 
(I had some for lunch today with a tiny drop of honey on them and a serving of apple sauce on the side.)

I know most people need thier coffe or whatever, but with me it's cereal that gets me going. If I don't get my cheerios in the morning, no one can talk to me. Right now my new breakfast kick is Cheerios or Special K with a tbsp of Fiber one sprinkled in and a cup of Celestial Season's Tummy Mint tea.

Same here. If not for breakfast I wouldn't get out of bed. Zoloft made me lose my appetite so I didn't want to get up and eat! P.S. Doesn't special K have HFCS?

It was only last week that I learned about HFCS and I ran out of special K before that and started on my box of cheerios. It never made me feel too sick so I wonder... I'll have to take a look next time I'm in the grocery store.
Learning about HFCS did solve a mystery or two for me though, such as why apple sauce sometimes made me sick and sometimes made me feel better... and can you beleive there's HFCS in my kids' Animal Crackers!

Kashi waffles list the last 2 ingredients as egg white powder and whey powder- sorry. But I think you should try freezing your own pancakes and waffles ( I mean who wants to cook every morning?). Chocolate cream of wheat was sort of interesting. It was okay but kind of not for adults.
