While these are my top 20, I have hundreds of amazing vegan recipes here on my blog. Some other honorable mentions that non-vegans love are:Whether you're new to plant-based eating or just want a quick weekday meal, there's no need to overcomplicate. Vegan meals don't need to involve hours of prep work or strange ingredients to be delicious and filling. Here's a list of some of my favorite Lazy Vegan Recipes.

One of the most frequently asked questions I get from both new and non-vegans who want to eat more plant-based, is how to make easy vegan meals that don't involve costly meat replacements or strange ingredients. Especially now that many of us are doing more cooking from home, having some ideas for Lazy Vegan Recipes made with normal pantry items seems like a good idea.

Epic Vegan Recipes To Make For Non Vegans

By the way, if you're new to eating vegan meals, then be sure to check out theVegan Starter KitbyNutriciously. It's one of the most comprehensive vegan guides I've found and contains everything you need to go plant-based and maintain a vegan lifestyle.

Below I have compiled a brief list of super-easy vegan meals, most of which can be prepared in less than 30 minutes! Some in less than 5 minutes. Warning: these are not fancy meals! But they are tasty, affordable, vegan, and can be made from ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. So without further ado, let's start off with the most important meal of the day. . .

Ah, breakfast! The most important meal of the day, as they used to say. And there is some truth to it. But one thing I love about mornings is how fresh and new everything feels. Starting the day off on a healthy and filling note is such a simple way to set the tone for the rest of the day. But most of us don't want to spend a lot of time making breakfast, thankfully there are so many plant-based options that we can either prep ahead of time or throw together in minutes. Here are some of my favorites!

Single Vegan Meals For One (breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)

If you're missing the savory goodness of a non-vegan breakfast, then might I recommend avocado toast? Here's my super lazy tip for people who don't like extra dishes. Just cut your avocado in half, remove the pit, use a butter knife to cube the avocado right in the shell, and then squeeze out the cubes directly onto your toast. Top with Vegan Parmesan and diced tomatoes. Yum!!

This is probably the most vegan meal of all time, and yet, so many non-vegans enjoy it! What I love about oatmeal, besides how warm and comforting it is, is how many ways you can serve and prepare it. On the stove, in the microwave, or even in your Instant Pot! My favorite toppings are Ceylon Cinnamon, ripe pears, and dried cranberries, but you can go wild and make it however you like!

This post is called Lazy Vegan Recipes for a reason! Many kinds of cereal are already vegan, so just check for any dairy in the ingredients first. (Also, I recently learned that some cereals contain vitamin D3, which is technically not vegan. so keep an eye out for that.)

Plant Based Recipes

You might also have to test out different types of plant milk before you find the one that suits you best, but cereal has to be the easiest way I can think of to easily

I don't often buy cereal due to the high sugar content, so if you want a super easy and super healthy alternative to cereal, try making your own muesli. You just need rolled oats as your base, and the rest can be made with ingredients you already have in your pantry.

I think a lot of new vegans are surprised to learn that you can make delicious vegan pancakes, waffles, or
