10 High-Protein Breakfast Recipes To Swap In While Egg Prices Soar Out Of Control
I've never been more grateful for the egg ick.
Besides when the occasional egg ick rears its head, I use eggs in my breakfast routine more days than not. They’re not only easy and versatile, but packed with protein. That means that the rising egg prices (that don’t appear to be dropping any time soon) are bad news for my morning meals. The good news? There are plenty of other high-protein breakfast options that don’t require eggs, but that are just (if not even more) satisfying. From vegan recipes with egg replacements (like vegan quiche and tofu scramble) to easy-to-make favorites like overnight breakfast porridge and copycat Chobani yogurt protein drinks, we've got breakfast ideas that will satisfy sweet and savory breakfast lovers. So skip shelling out for a carton this week—make these high-protein breakfasts instead.
Copycat Chobani Yogurt Protein Drink

Overnight Breakfast Porridge
When you've got a long, chilly day ahead of you, a bowl of warm and creamy oatmeal is just the thing to keep you fueled and satisfied. To get cozy in the colder weather, I took the idea of overnight oats and transformed them into a comforting breakfast in the slow cooker.

Vegan Quiche
Don’t mind me, I'm just swapping out eggs for tofu in quiche like it’s no big deal. Because who says you have to have eggs in quiche anyway? Or butter in pie crust for that matter? I'm taking matters of quiche into my own hands and can confidently say that this vegan quiche is here to stay.

Blended Overnight Oats
When it comes to easy, flavor-packed, and make-ahead breakfasts, overnight oats always deliver. Then blended overnight oats started to pop up on our TikTok feeds, and we needed to see if they lived up to the hype. And did they ever! Blending the ingredients together gives the finished recipe a thick, almost pudding-like texture.

Cinnamon Roll Power Bites
These "power balls" are exactly what they sound like: perfect little bites of energy that will satisfy that sweet craving. Medjool dates are paired with warm cinnamon, almond butter, cashews, oats, vanilla, and a dash of salt to make these breakfast-worthy bites. All ingredients come together in just 10 minutes to form sweet, soft, chewy balls that are reminiscent of cinnamon rolls.

Air Fryer Baklava Granola
This version of the staple snack food has all of the flavors you’d find in a crispy and syrupy square of baklava—pistachios, walnuts, and plenty of sticky-sweet honey. It all comes together in an air fryer and takes a fraction of the time to cook than it would in an actual oven. In short, a quick and easy breakfast has never tasted so good.

Classic Tofu Scramble
Tofu scrambles have been a mainstay of vegan cuisine for decades. This one is seared and crisp on the outside, tender and creamy on the inside, and assertively spiced. Try it in a breakfast burrito or taco, or even in fried rice!

Vegan Pancakes
Fluffy vegan pancakes are 100% possible. And trust us, you won't miss milk, butter, or eggs. These are the ingredients that make all the difference: non-dairy milk, baking powder, and coconut oil. (Bonus: Its high smoke point means you're less likely to burn that first pancake, woohoo!)
