[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Hi friends! If you want to save these recipes for later, they are all on my NEW Pinterest account as well: www.pinterest.com/caitlinshoemaker/ Hope you are having a wonderful day :)

[@Ella.L.]

Thank you. Hope you're having a good day too :-)

[@TheMuirite]

Nice. Where did you get the reusable freezer bag???

[@Gilennam]

Caitlin Shoemaker I was wondering, how would the recipe turn out using oat flakes instead?

[@Violet1996-]

You're awesome!! Love your vids and recipes

[@livingstress_free186]

Lovely video.. Tasty looking recipes ❤ May I ask where you got those *Reusable Freezer Bags*?

[@ZoeBohemeBeauty]

I know it was a conflicting decision for you to take time off from school to do KZbin but I just wanted to let you know that you have a huge talent for this. I always look forward to your high quality videos and unique recipes

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Thank you so much, Zoe! That means a lot.

[@Ellie.rose.mckenna]

it's taken 3 months of me trying to convince my mum to accept me as vegan and she finally has I can now expand my vegan options and not have to be ashamed that I have different beliefs to my family, thank you so much for helping me find quick easy and cheap ways to stay vegan without the help of my mum I genuinely couldn't have done it without you

[@WhyYoutubeWhy]

You should never feel asahmed of not torturing and voluntary killing animals!

[@aplacecalledmydreams9965]

Yes! The good kind of FAST food

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Love it!

[@lilyflowers8291]

My favorite breakfast lately has been an everything bagel topped with hummus, sliced tomatoes, and little sea salt & pepper. So quick and delicious. I can't get enough of it.

[@Lydia-th5jh]

Just a baking tip, sugars are considered a wet ingredient! I recommend adding your coconut sugar to the banana mixture. :)

[@Lydia-th5jh]

I figured I should add a reasoning: the way you make fluffier muffins, non-yeast breads, pancakes, cakes, and other baked goods is by limiting the development of gluten. Gluten makes things chewy and elastic-y, like seitan or yeast bread. The way to limit gluten development is to avoid disturbing flour and liquids together. By disturbing, I mean mixing batters. The more you mix, the more gluten forms. So, back to sugar being a wet ingredient! Sugars dissolve in liquids. Therefore, if they are pre-dissolved in a liquid (coconut sugar mixed in the with banana mixture), you don't have to mix as much to combine your ingredients! Less mixing, less gluten, fluffier products! :)

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Thanks for the tip Lydia!

[@Panda-no9jn]

I become so happy when you upload. You literally changed my life. Yay. I am not vegan but i mostly eat vegan foods they're so yummy yet so simple! Love u so much! (BTW I'm vegetarian) 😊

[@Panda-no9jn]

BTW this is perfect for school because it starts next week! Sadly ;(. BTW can you recommend me Any type of healthy sweeteners?! (I'm allergic to coconut so no coconut sugar) ;)

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

that is awesome! Thank you so much!

[@luciasanchez865]

Panda48 Maybe maple syrup or agave :)

[@kristinlopez255]

Panda48 sometimes I like to add pure maple syrup, dates, or agave nectar to my bread or baked recipes instead of coconut sugar.

[@mexicanmuslim]

How Vegetarian are you what animal products do you eat? And why do you support cruelty huh?

[@RainbowPlantLife]

I so look forward to your videos, Caitlin! They make me so happy (and hungry)!

[@britneypellouchoud2948]

You should check out a lot of Thai recipes. A lot of Thai people are vegetarian/vegan and since they've been cooking that way for so long they have great recipes. (My mom is from Cambodia, the sister country, so she's made some of these for me)

[@riedmagd]

Half a year ago your videos gave me the last kick to finally do it - I've been a happy healthy vegan since christmas now. Thank you so much for doing what you're doing and please never stop trying to make a positive impact on this in many facettes very cruel world. You are someone to look up to!

[@aditisapkota5707]

my fav is super chewy thick porridge with chia seeds, cinnamon, pumpkin seeds, some good ole peanut butter, a few dates/prunes/raisins/apricot or all of them with a big glass of plant milk- my fav is cashew

[@lindatherese6909]

Can you please make a school lunchbox video??!!!! It needs to be super easy and filling.

[@ryliemckinney8023]

I know I'm late but you just earned a sub girl! I'm not vegan, but these dairy free recipes have really helped me a lot! Keep up the good work!!!!

[@peachi3sweeti3]

My absolute FAVORITE breakfast is rolled oats cooked with almond milk+water, then i top it off with fresh chopped strawberries (I love getting them from the farmers market but they're getting more expensive now, so frozen works too!), chopped pecans, and a liiittttllee bit of almond milk and brown sugar to sweeten! 😍😍

[@kiddieuwke]

It always makes me sooo happy if you put something in the pot and I see a bit left in the little bowl, like onions or patatoes. And then I see the next shot and you put the left overs from that bowl in de pot. Idk, just makes me feel good that you don't wasted that food!

[@muriel6843]

Chai spiced oats with banana, and tea or coffee has become my daily morning ritual. Your channel's inspired me to get creative with my oats!

[@xThinkinqofYou]

I start classes tomorrow, the timing is perfect!

[@melissaisreading]

Same! Can't wait to make one of these for tomorrow. Good luck! xx

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

good luck!

[@criesincryptid]

xThinkinqofYou almost same! I start Wednesday 😬

[@kealani6036]

Same

[@angelahill7040]

I love how different your combination of ingredients are in all your beautiful recipes. Thanks for the breath of fresh air. can't wait to make these.

[@foreverkaylin13]

Girl you need to start a podcast! Your voice is pleasant and soothing. Amazing recipes as always!

[@emilkamiska1036]

I love adding banana to everything, so my favourite would be a smoothie with banana, cacao powder and berries topped with millet flakes and almonds 💓 (btw millet is so underrated. It has protein and detoxes our bodies, you should try it! Sometimes I switch my oats with millet flakes)

[@MorganHowell]

You have easily become my favorite KZbinr over these past few months. Your videos are so organized, well thought out, and informative!! I went vegan for a month not that long ago and it really wasn't that hard for me since meat and dairy creep me out honestly. I've been researching how to do it more sustainably for the long run and your videos are SO HELPFUL. Your meals are fairly quick and easy, which I neeeed. (I'm the worst cook lol). Anyways, just wanted to send some support and love from MD ❤️

[@natalievassallo5679]

You have no idea how I admire your cooking style. You present every recipe so simple, delicious and health. You are much younger than me and I am learning a lot from you. Thank you for everything that you are sharing with the world. May God Bless your health so you'll continue helping others the way you are already doing. I just came across your channel yesterday evening and you motivated me a lot to cook more vegan recipes. Take care and keep up your good work!

[@katiel9322]

Just curious, what are the benefits that you have found from not using oil in your cooking and from trying to omit it from your diet?

[@karapeak8176]

I just started graduate school and have over an hour commute, so anything to save time in the morning really helps. I'll definitely have to try all three of these recipes!

[@ManifestingwithIntention]

Hi, Caitlin, You can tell that you have a lot of fun creating your videos. It really shows in your approach. Thanks, so much. Becky

[@maryedwards8795]

I just wanted to say thank you for all you do!! You have made transitioning from a meat eater to vegan so easy. I am vegetarian now, although I eat less and less animal products because your vegan meal ideas are so delicious. You've definitely helped me keep my diet interesting 😊

[@laurenoberlin582]

my favorite weekday breakfast is oats! oats with berries, oats with banana and peanut butter, oats with turmeric and ginger... can't go wrong! and super filling for work/school~

[@morganl2633]

I made these wraps yesterday and added some smoked paprika and cinnamon and baked the sweet potato then also did some mushrooms in the pan and did a big ol batch and was able to get 10 wrapped up and ready to go in my freezer. They're so delicious so thank you!

[@veronicamazzolari7854]

I ADORE YOUR VEGAN RECIPES! KISSES FROM ITALY

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

thank you!

[@lexiradjmj]

Another gorgeous video!!! I'm so happy you're deciding to give this your full attention. You've simultaneously inspired me to cook vegan food and reminded me that my life is in my own hands, which is so empowering. Keep it up Caitlin, we can't wait to see what you do next!

[@sailsaturnssea]

My dad made these awesome breakfast burritos growing up (bacon, egg, & cheese). I have yet to recreate them, but with tofu scramble, vegan queso, salsa, and Sweet Earth's vegan bacon I could make a better version. I could also dip the burrito in some guacamole! YES! My mouth is salivating already. ☺️💕

[@xxaymezxx]

ZUCCHINI OATMEAL!!! 🙌🏻 my aunt has given me 3 huuuuge zucchinis from her garden & i was kinda getting sick of just putting them in pasta and making zucchini bread 😂

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

how perfect!

[@nancygatesmustdie]

Omg try the toasted every bagel with not only cream cheese but avocado and tomato - it's literally divine

[@ChokaylateMilk]

My personal favorite weekday breakfast is coffee and some kind of pastry, so like toast or a cinnamon roll or a croissant. I'm really into the breakfast burrito thing though so I'm glad you included that recipe in your video!

[@Jonasgirlpower]

your videos are honestly the best, i appreciate them so much! you have inspired me and given me so many new ideas! being a college student, it's really hard to figure out what to eat, especially when there's so much unhealthy influence around you. you've helped me eat more vegan/vegetarian without it being so time consuming. xoxo

[@geneology9864]

My current breakfast obsessions: 1) Peaches n cream vegan oatmeal! Quick oats cooked with water and stevia, cinammon, splash maple syrup, fresh peaches thrown in pot last to warm up, and almond milk added ontop when in bowl 2) Avocado toast! Spelt bread toasted, avocado mashed with lime juice, black pepper, salt, and crushed chili pepper flakes 😄😆

[@sarah_kale]

I used to do these muffins a lot, but I only used bananas and oats and a tiny dash of baking powder, works just as well. But yours are extra good!

[@Thevietvegan]

Such a chill video Caitlin :) Those zucchini steel cut oats looked really good! I may just have to try that.

[@asukachan07]

I always come back to this video because omg the deliciousness. Who could dread waking up in the morning if that's what's waiting for you? Everything is mouth-watering. As a kid I loved the raisin bran cereals with milk. All sugar and barely any nutrition hahaha but it kept me hyped until lunch for sure. Thanks for sharing Caitlin!

[@allysuperdupercielo]

you seem like the sweetest girl and just radiate with happiness i love your videos so much

[@thefamilymixx]

Got super inspired and made the oats for my kids breakfast tomorrow it's midnight and I'm hanging around my kitchen trying to make your recipe. They look so yummy!!! I think my kids are going to love them.

[@annalisahamlett1334]

I have never had sweet potatoes in a wrap, I think I am missing out! So going to try that with the next wrap I make. But I do have sweet potatoes quite often for breakfast to make a pumpkin pie spiced smoothie. I use frozen banana, baked sweetpotato, vanilla soy milk, and pumpkin pie spice. Sometimes I add pea protein powder or make a smoothie bowl with pepitas on top.

[@lauralu04]

Thank you so much for your uploads! You have made my vegan transition so much less intimidating! My go to weekday breakfasts rotate between oatmeal, smoothies, and granola with cashew/almond milk! I'll definitely be trying out these three recipes from the video though!

[@theveganhippie2730]

I've never tried steel cut oats before. They look really good. I don't eat breakfast everyday but when I do, I love tofu scramble.

[@liliopyu12]

When I lived at home I loved bagels and cream cheese or smoothies in the morning... when I went to boarding school it was eggs, potatoes, and oats, and fruit (just a lil bit of each, of course!).

[@karenascencio2879]

I love how I can't always trust your recipes, they're guilty free, no oil o added fats(butter) 😍😍👌🏽

[@bottomenergy6152]

*can?

[@JennaDanelle]

I LOVE kite hill cream cheese, my newest obsession! I found an amazing oil free sprouted garlic bagel to put the chives one on and it is so good! That said my newest breakfast obsession is def the Dr McDougall waffles! I can make up a big batch and freeze them, then toast them in the morning! My daughter loves them just plain, and I like a touch of maple syrup, plain, or w fresh blueberries! My other fav fast breakfast is the blueberry #2 recipe from McDougall's site. Also 4 year old approved. When I have a bit more time, a potato, pepper, onion, and tofu scramble hash is SO good, can even add salsa and make it into a breakfast burrito!

[@caitlins8715]

My fave weekday morning breakfast is either oatmeal or an apple with peanut butter and a green smoothie!

[@lisabowerman3273]

I am a new vegan, I stopped eating meat and dairy a few weeks ago. I ❤️ your channel!!!!

[@April-vc9rq]

your creativity with recipes are amazing. always thinking outside the box and using ingredients in non traditional ways. love it!

[@alysemink7715]

I really love how simple and affordable the bean burrito was! Keep up the good work!

[@mystical_cupcake]

This is soooo timely omg! My classes start tomorrow morning and I was just thinking about food to make beforehand. Thank you!

[@gracetelfer2607]

I've been having a smoothie and toast with almond butter and jam pretty much my whole life

[@xXSilverCookieXx]

My go-to breakfast is vanilla chia pudding I make the night before! I love to top it with blueberries, sliced strawberries, and cacao nibs. I also noticed I feel full longer when I mix in a bit of cereal as well. 😋 I think I'm going to try your oats recipe from this video!

[@sandismith9780]

Adding zucchini is genius! I add shredded carrots to my overnight chia pudding and it's great so now I will add a little zucchini (with skin) as well and it will be healthier than carrot zucchini bread ☺️

[@hannahc4641]

I'm definitely going to be making some burritos!! My favourite breakfast is two apples chopped into chunks and mixed with a teaspoon of cinnamon and sometimes a small handful of raisins or sultanas if I feel like it, microwaved for 2 minutes then stirred then microwaved for another minute and topped with some nuts if I feel like it (you can cook it on the stove but it's quicker for me on school mornings to use the microwave). It's so tasty and warming, especially as I live in Wales so it's often too cold for overnight oats or fresh fruit. I'm trying to change it up a bit though and eat more savoury meals like tofu scramble during the summer while I have time, so the breakfast burritos are going to be amazing once school starts back!

[@karen2015]

Favorite breakfasts:1. Toasted plain everything or onion bagel2. When I don't have bagels but do have time: scrambled tofu with salsa, toast3. Banana blueberry spinach smoothie

[@BooksStuffbooks]

If I wasn't already subscribed I would have subscribed just because you used a novo amor song as the background music. I love novo amor so much! Also I will definitely take inspiration from these recipes

[@jccastle3452]

Usually I have a smoothie but these recipes are amazing. I see myself shaking up my morning routine. :-)

[@madisonarmstrong2397]

I've been wanting to make something with sweet potatoes & black beans lately, and those burritos look incredible. Definitely trying them soon!

[@sarlouheartsmakeup]

I made the oatmeal in this but instead of doing the jam I added blueberries to the oatmeal and it is amazing! Thanks for the recipe base!!!

[@awesomeaub12]

My fav breakfast food when I was little was oatmeal with a side of toast!

[@christinax4513]

I tried the sweet potato black beans burrito and it was ♥♡♥♡♥

[@alfredofalen9060]

My fav breakfast is a smoothie bowl (chocolate or berrie flavour) or chocolate chia pudding topped with bananas.

[@jennynicole7714]

Oatmeal with tablespoon of peanut butter mixed in topped with berries....ever single morning and never gets old

[@juliannek6450]

I am SO excited to try all of these recipes! Thank you for sharing these delicious healthy breakfast recipes :)

[@carleymills322]

Yes either an everything bagel with vegan cream cheese or if I want something warm I'll have oatmeal. Thanks for the recipes fabulous as always! 💓

[@sandragllareva]

My favourite breakfast is either green oatmeal ( with green smoothie powder) or nicecream 😍

[@CraftyCoba0408]

Thanks for these they all sound delish!! I've been loving chia seed pudding for breakfast with fresh fruit or some overnight muesli with fresh fruit!

[@myranilson4893]

Could you maybe make an all-star oatmeal video, with all of your favourite types of different oatmeal? That would be lovely.

[@susanspratling]

I Love this oatmeal recipe I make it for my husband and myself to eat at work. Fantastic Thank you!!

[@alexandracaruso4173]

My favorite breakfast was a chocolate croissant from the nearby bakery (SO GOOD) on Sundays. Since going vegan I've been on a life long mission to find the perfect vegan croissant no matter where I go LOL

[@michellemiddlebrooks3386]

Blueberry overnight oats are my fav go to bfast. I've learned that I prefer them hot.

[@jannabanigan3682]

In Spring/Summer I make my own granola. In Fall/Winter I make oatmeal. I am looking forward to making oatmeal with the zucchini. Great idea. And my kids will never know!!! Thanks.

[@Glittermoon94]

These all look delicious ❤️ my favourite breakfast is avacado tomato toast or chocolate peanut butter oatmeal🌱

[@ThrivebyRach]

GIRL your videos + content is just getting better and better!! xx

[@IRapedCharizard]

I should eat all of these at once, RIGHT?!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Keiran B. Haha go for it 😜

[@Pandasocke]

i did and i feel amazing

[@artsylor]

You are my favorite youtuber, honestly ! Your videos are always super good and of good quality ! You are definitely making me into a vegan (: Love your positive attitude ! keep going x

[@Britfan06]

That is my favorite salsa!! I have been buying it from Aldi for a long time now! Definitely gonna try some of these.

[@TheBeautifulKylie]

I love having steel cut oats with cocoa powder, peanut butter, and I mix in frozen raspberries! Of course, have to pair it with a cup of coffee :)

[@Juliezeneth]

i love oatmeal for breakfast and am so intrigued as to what it's like with zucchini 💗

[@ohxsheena]

As a kid I really loved having toast with butter and sugar. Super simple and so good. Pretty common in a Filipino house :)

[@laurasophie3500]

Caitlin, can I may ask you why you went vegan? Because of the animals, your health or whatsoever? :-) you're my biggest inspiration when it comes to veganism by the way! ❤️🌱

[@madlenn92]

I just bought some sweet potatoe but had no idea how to cook them . The burrito looks awsome !!! Thanks !

[@genericprofilename9720]

Can you do lunches (no heat) for school?

[@excuseme1543]

sandwiches, wraps, and salads :)

[@CalderoHechicero29]

I really liked these recipes!! Well, I'm from the coast of Ecuador so my ideal breakfast is a traditional one: baked/grilled (asado) plantain(green) w/ roasted chopped peanuts and salprieta which is a mix of corn and peanuts and you press the plaintain on that and it is wonderful. You should totally google it! It is a super traditional breakfast from Manabí (the providence where I'm from) and vegan! Lots of love!

[@olivialane2341]

I have made your jam recipe sooo many times!! Love it over vegan pancakes:)

[@starlyjin2373]

On a weekday morning I'd usually eat yogurt with some granola! I've recently started cutting off dairy products from my diet, and am trying to find a good substitute for yogurt! We don't have many vegan substitutes where I live and it's really important for me to get my prebiotics :( love your videos! I don't think you even realize how much u inspire me to try new and interesting plant based goods. I used to think it was all about the salad. u showed us it's definitely not just that!!

[@MsCaseydilla]

I make a batch of quinoa porridge (quinoa, water, almond milk, applesauce, maple, chia, cinnamon) and heat it up throughout the week then top with nuts and berries. It's a good alternative to oats since my tum doesn't handle them well... And it'd probably be great with that blueberry jam.

[@robynsyndi4806]

Will be trying all of these.... especially those wraps! Love the vid:)

[@Mioby]

I haven't tried the zucchini oats but all the other recipes are awesome! So delicious.

[@lucyjames1525]

I love watching your videos so much, they always inspire me and since you semms so happy they give me hope that better days/times in life will eventually come. I think it's great you took the brave step of leaving college for KZbin, just because you seem more calm and look like you are exactly where you should/want to be. My favourite breakfast has always been pancakes with maple syrup, but on weekdays I ate these surgary Kids cereals due to the lack of time. Since I'm trying to eat healthier for many years now I'm mostly eating toast or oatmeal for breakfast, but when I can I love making myself potatoes with siracha and a few salad leaves in the morning (in the microwave - although it's a weird breakfast I know). Greetings and love

[@lucyjames1525]

Or mango nicecream for breakfast as my special treat :)

[@cadenmccall4651]

Been making the sw potato wraps for one year now and love it! Thanks!:)

[@chasingthelook]

I'm definitely going to try the sweet potato burritos and muffins. Great recipes!

[@peachcheeks5925]

I am hooked!! Her videos are so good! Editing on point!!

[@handemic]

I am just going vegan and am so glad I came across your channel! Ahh! Youre Amazing! Thank you so much!

[@Erich8]

My go to favourite breakfasts are probably either toast with peanut butter and fruit on the side or a bagel with margarine and tomato slices with plenty of pepper on top :) I'll have to try making oats with zucchini sometime!

[@DarlingDarkness]

Caitlin, this video!! OMG. How perfect it turned out. I love coming to KZbin and find new videos from you. They always make me happy. My favorite breakfast at the moment is this Oatmeal mix that is storebought, it contains dried apples and cinnamon. I add extra cinnamon, some vegan caramel syrup and top it with tons of fresh nectarine chunks. I had that for days now, but I am still loving it. I feel like I should try your Breakfast burritos next though, so I can switch from sweet to savory if I want to.

[@saravallazza9847]

My favorite breakfast used to be an edited breakfast taco. It was basically an omelette with spinach, mushrooms, peppers, and tomatoes stuffed in a folded blueberry or chocolate chip waffle. I don't know why, but now whenever I want that I make a vegan version that tastes just as good but I think my adapted taste buds have outgrown that obsession 😂

[@miaalicex]

This is one of my fave videos of yours now😍 and the breakfast I eat most is bagels with marmite & vegan butter😛
