7 Yummy Toddler-Friendly Vegan Breakfasts

Toddler Friendly Vegan Breakfast Ideas Recipes

We’ve received a lot of questions and messages about what we feed our 19-month old daughter Maya, so we thought we’d start sharing lots of the recipes we cook for her at home.

Maya wakes up most days demanding breakfast immediately!

Quite often we’ll make a straightforward porridge with ground seeds and mashed banana, but sometimes we’ll mix things up with one of the below.

You can also prep a few of these recipes in advance, such as the flapjacks, pancakes and French toast, then simply reheat when your little one is hungry.

Please note: these recipes are for our 19-month old daughter so you may need to adjust portion sizes, shapes and serving suggestions depending on your toddler’s age and developmental stage.

Also, we haven’t specified amounts for a few of these recipes because they can simply be used as a guide, such as the porridges.

1. Toddler Tofu Scramble

Vegan Toddler Scrambled Tofu
Ingredients:
  • olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 block of firm tofu
  • ground turmeric
  • garlic powder
  • onion powder
  • pepper
  • unsweetened plant-based milk
  1. Add a small splash of oil to a frying pan on medium-high heat. Crumble the tofu between your fingers straight into the pan. 
  2. Add the remaining ingredients 1/2 a teaspoon at a time and adjust the amounts to taste. Fry for 5-10 minutes, then serve with toast, tomatoes and avocado. 

2. Mini French Toast

Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 250ml (8.5fl.oz) unsweetened plant-based milk 
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • coconut oil for frying
  • 4 slices of bread
  1. Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl. Then add the milk, flaxseed, cinnamon and vanilla and stir to combine. 
  2. Heat a non stick frying pan on medium heat and add some coconut oil. Dunk the bread in the wet mixture then fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. 

3. Oaty Pancakes

Vegan Toddler Pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 150g (5.3oz) plain flour
  • 80g (2.8oz) oats

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseeds
  • coconut oil for frying 
  1. Mash the banana in a mixing bowl then add the flour, oats, milk, vanilla, baking powder, chia seeds and flaxseeds. Stir then leave the batter to sit for 5 minutes. 
  2. Meanwhile add a little coconut oil to a frying pan and leave to heat up. Spoon in some pancake batter and fry each pancake for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. We like to serve these with some plant-based yoghurt, fruit and peanut butter.

4. Peanut Butter Flapjacks

Vegan Toddler Peanut Butter Banana Flapjacks

  • 2 ripe bananas

  2. Mash the banana in a mixing bowl then add the remaining ingredients. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for around 30 minutes or until golden on top. We serve ours with extra peanut butter, blueberries and slices of banana.
