    This vegan breakfast burrito bowl is a fantastic way to get the day started! Made with black beans, smoky jackfruit and oil-free maple roasted sweet potatoes, it's packed full of flavours and healthy ingredients. Gluten-free, oil-free, incredibly easy. 

    Easy vegan breakfast burrito bowl

    We all know of breakfast burritos. But a breakfast burrito bowl really steps things up. Think an abundance of vibrant ingredients, plenty of flavours and textures to keep each bite interesting, and a lot of savoury comfort to set you up for a great day. Count me in!

    You guys know I love my savoury breakfasts. They're big, cosy and give me a lot of energy to be super productive throughout the morning. This option is a current favourite of mine! I'm sure you will end up loving it too.

    Breakfast burrito bowl with maple sweet potatoes

    I decided to base this burrito bowl on sweet potatoes. I know that a typical burrito ingredient is rice, but sweet potato feels more appropriate for breakfast. Although, if you want to switch it up for rice of your choice, all the power to you!

    Making oil-free maple roasted sweet potato is super easy. Simply toss your sweet potato pieces with maple syrup and salt. Transfer to a baking tray and bake for at least 15-20 minutes, but perhaps longer, depending on the size of your sweet potato pieces. I would totally recommend making extra to use in other recipes.

    Smoky jackfruit

    In my opinion, no burrito bowl is complete without a hint of smokiness/spice. That's where the smoky jackfruit comes in. To make it, all you need is:

    Ingredients for smoky jackfruit
    • Red onion
    • Jackfruit
    • Sea salt
    • Paprika
    • Garlic granules
    • Chopped tomatoes
    • Tomato paste
    • Plant based milk.

    To start, sauté the onion for a couple of minutes to soften it. Then, add the jackfruit, sea salt, paprika, and garlic granules. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, before adding the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste and plant based milk. Simmer over a medium heat for 8-10 minutes, until thick and fragrant.

    The perfect black beans

    Black beans are a must for a breakfast burrito bowl. My preparation method is very simple and only takes around 5 minutes. in order to make them, you will need:

    • Garlic
    • Tamari
    • Nutritional yeast
    • Apple cider vinegar
    • Lemon juice

    Add all the ingredients to a saucepan. Cook for around 5 minutes, stirring frequently and pressing down some of the beans to create a 'refried bean texture'. After this is done, you are ready to assemble your bowl! It's up to you which other ingredients and vegetables you pick, but here I went for lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, sweetcorn, and a generous drizzle of tahini. Serve and enjoy!

    Tips and tricks for the best breakfast burrito bowl

    • Serve with plenty of vegetables! The more texture and variety you can create, the better.
    • Be generous with spices. Don't lessen the amounts because a good amount of seasoning is the best way to create amazing flavours.
    • If you meal prep, you can make all the ingredients ahead of time and assemble the bowl as needed.
    • Add nuts on top for a little bit of extra crunch.
