Breakfast has been called the most important meal of the day. Eating breakfast is the first thing that many of us do in the morning. And when you have house guests or host brunch, you are forced to get up early and cook when you would rather get your beauty sleep.
So I've gathered up my favorite vegan breakfast casseroles that you can make ahead of time. Hopefully, these recipes will make your morning and life just a little bit easier!
Make Ahead Vegan Breakfast Casseroles
Here are all my favorite make ahead vegan breakfast casseroles. Yum!
Cranberry Baked Oatmeal
This healthy baked oatmeal is an easy make ahead breakfast! Orange-infused baked oatmeal is studded with crunchy walnuts and bursting with juicy cranberries.
Vegan Potato and Spinach Frittata
With a delicious potato and onion base paired with an herb-infused egg-like filling, this egg-less entrée is a true winner. It's perfect to serve for any meal of the day!
Vegan Breakfast Casserole
This casserole hits all of the breakfast comfort food criteria. Hearty potatoes, smokey BBQ tempeh, tofu eggs, and vegan cheese come together to create the perfect vegan breakfast storm. This can easily be made the night before and popped into the oven first thing in the morning. Enjoy!
Overnight Vegan Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls with Cashew Frosting
Not all vegan breakfast casseroles need to be savory. These Overnight Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls have "overnight" right in the title! These delicious little confections need to sit overnight so that the yeast can raise the dough. Serve these rolls with a nice cup of hot coffee on a cool fall morning.
Vegetarian Tater Tot Casserole
Who doesn't love an old fashioned tater tot casserole? This vegan version takes a deliciously healthy spin with the addition of spinach and pumpkin. I can't think of a tastier way to get in those veggies!
Veganized: French Toast Casserole | PETA
This delicious French Toast Casserole is among the best make-ahead vegan breakfast casseroles on the web. This casserole will get a more bread-pudding-like consistency when you refrigerate it overnight.
The article has a list of several options for egg replacements that is very helpful. Items on the list include a mashed banana, applesauce, and a store bought egg replacement—and they all sound amazing! We hope that this casserole conjures comforting memories and warms your morning.
Cheesy Vegan Breakfast Potato Casserole
What could be better than hash browns and vegan Italian sausage smothered in a "cheesy" sauce? That is what this Breakfast Potato Casserole recipe offers.
This is like a vegan hash brown casserole with sausage that would make a great main or side dish for a breakfast or brunch. This casserole will definitely break your fast with its hearty and comforting goodness, and you can make it the night before, too!
Baked Almond Butter and Apricot Oatmeal
These individual casseroles can be prepped ahead of time and baked in the morning. The flavors of apricot, ginger, and rich almond butter make these oatmeal casseroles filling and delicious! You can even bake them ahead and reheat them for a busy work-week breakfast.
Vegan Strata
A strata is traditionally an egg based casserole with bread in it. This Vegan Strata recipe uses tempeh bacon, mushrooms, and spinach tossed with bread and silken tofu "scrambled eggs."
Prep this strata ahead of time, then bake it first thing in the morning. This is a great brunch dish, and it can be baked during the week for a warm breakfast.
Vegan Bread Pudding
Bread pudding for breakfast? Yes, please. This vegan version is packed with sweet flavor and tastes even better when made in advance so the flavors can meld together. Yum.
Southwestern Tofu Scramble (Migas)
This tasty vegan breakfast dish is brimming with lively southwestern flavors. It's a vegan version of a traditional southwestern egg dish known as Migas. Prep this in advance than reheat and warm the tortillas when ready to serve!
I hope that this post has inspired you to try some of these great make-ahead vegan breakfast casseroles. That next brunch party won't be so stressful with these recipes in your arsenal!

My sincere apologize that my colleagues at VegKitchen used a non-vegan photo. Bad idea! I'll ask them to replace it.

To: James Pegler,
Hi.
The photo of the casserole at the very top of this post - the recipe is nowhere to be found and I'd really like it.
Please respond, ASAP, to my email address with this recipe, thanks so much!

Okay..., I want to know...
Why in the world would you post a photo of a meat casserole on a vegan web/blog site? It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and I am completely disappointed in you. It's a slap in the face to animals and VegKitchen.
Nava would NEVER have let something like this transpire.

Thanks for catching that, Carol. I'm only minimally involved with VK at this point and this isn't my post. I have gone ahead and replaced it with a great recipe from the site by Laura Theodore and it should show up within a few hours. Ugh, sorry!!
