These Vegan Breakfast Sandwiches are easy to make, can be made ahead of time and you can customize them with your favorite sandwich ingredients!
Whether you’re already vegan, doing Veganuary or if you just like to eat vegan food sometimes (like me!), these Vegan Breakfast Sandwiches are for you! They’re made with chickpea flour plus lots of delicious seasonings and they’re the perfect way to start the day.
I’ve experimented a lot with tofu when making vegan breakfast items, but this is the first time I’ve used chickpea flour. Chickpea flour has a little bit more of a taste than tofu, but when you add some seasonings it works really well!
Vegan Breakfast Sandwich Recipe Ingredients and Substitutions
We’ll talk a little bit more about customizing your sandwiches below, but here are the main ingredients in the vegan egg patties:
- Chickpea Flour – Chickpea flour is made with ground up chickpeas/garbanzo beans. It’s used a lot in Indian cooking and contains lots of protein and fiber. I’ve seen it most used in vegan egg recipes, such as vegan quiche because when mixed with liquid and cooked, it holds together really well. I buy mine online but it can also be found in most natural food stores.
- Nutritional Yeast – I always use nutritional yeast in my vegan egg recipes. It has a nice cheesy flavor and it’s also yellow in color so that helps too! If you do a lot of vegan cooking you are probably already familiar with it. If not, I would not suggest leaving it out because it really does add so much flavor.
- Black Salt – I recently started using black salt when making vegan egg recipes. It’s pink salt but turns black when you heat it up. It has a really eggy/sulfery flavor that reminds me of actual eggs. I buy mine online and it lasts quite a while.
- Non-Dairy Milk – I like to use an unsweetened almond or oat milk for this recipe. You could also use water if you don’t have any milk on hand.
- Seasonings – Other seasonings I like to add to my vegan egg patties are granulated garlic, turmeric, curry powder and salt and pepper. You can always experiment with your own choice of seasonings!
How To Make The Best Vegan Egg Patties
These vegan egg patties are SO easy to make, and then you can have fun deciding how to enjoy them!
- You start by adding the chickpea flour to a medium sized bowl and then adding in all your dry spices. Mix together and then add in your milk. Mix again and you should get a mixture that resembled pancake batter. The thicker it is, the more dense the egg patties will be. You want a consistency that is on the thinner side but will still hold its shape when you pour it into a pan.
- Heat a large pan over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil or vegan butter. I like to use a 1 tablespoon scoop to make little round circles with the batter in the pan. I like to make mine about the size of an English muffin so they fit well.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, it really doesn’t take long since they are pretty thin. You can either use them immediately or store them in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use.
Customizing Your Vegan Breakfast Sandwiches
You can customize your breakfast sandwiches anyway you like! Here are a few ideas to give you some inspiration:
- Bread – English muffins, toast, biscuits, bagels, tortillas, hash browns
- Sauces/Spreads: Ketchup, guacamole, pesto, salsa, hot sauce, refried beans, aioli, vegan cream cheese
- Toppings: Pickled onions, avocado, tomato, vegan sausage patty, vegan bacon, lettuce, vegan cheese

I’m so excited to find this recipe – I just bought chickpea flour because i found a recipe for an Indian crepe made with it. And I also bought nutritional yeast a while ago, on impulse, and it’s just been sitting there because I had no idea what to do with it! Really looking forward to trying this!
Awesome!! I hope you enjoy it!
Your article says to use a 1 Tablespoon scoop, but the recipe says 1 teaspoon. 😉
Fixed it! Thanks!!
