When baking pancakes, it is best to grease the pan with vegetable oil using a pastry brush. Bake pancakes over medium heat on both sides.

Eating during fasting brings noticeable changes to our diet. However, its main principles must remain unshakable. So, you should always have a tasty and healthy breakfast. Today we will discuss meatless breakfasts, recipes for preparing various dishes and practical ideas for every day.
More than pancakes
Quick, lean pastries are an excellent solution for a complete breakfast. You can make a lot of things from unleavened dough without milk and eggs: pancakes, flatbreads, muffins, and, of course, pancakes. By the way, the dough for them can be made not only based on water. Take half a glass of apple juice and mix it with 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil and 1 tbsp. l. Sahara. Gradually add a glass of buckwheat flour, a third of a glass of wheat flour, 1 tsp. baking powder and salt to taste. It is better to beat the resulting mass with a mixer so that no lumps form. Next, add 2 tbsp to the dough. l. water, a pinch of cinnamon and vanilla. If desired, the recipe can be supplemented with ½ tbsp. l. dried cranberries or any other berries. Mix the dough again and fry the pancakes in a heated frying pan, greased with oil.
Vitamin pancakes
Experienced housewives know that the easiest way to prepare a meatless breakfast is with vegetables. If you find an extra 20 minutes, you can treat yourself to amazing zucchini pancakes. First, peel and grate half a small zucchini and squeeze out the excess liquid. Peel a medium-sized apple and cut into thin slices. In a separate bowl, mix 4 tbsp. l. buckwheat or wheat flour with 2-3 tbsp. l. water. In half a glass of warm water, dilute ½ tsp. soda, pour the solution into the flour and mix. Without stopping stirring, combine this mixture with zucchini and apples. As a result, the dough should acquire the consistency of thick sour cream. Heat the frying pan thoroughly with vegetable oil, use a spoon to form and fry them for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Bean sandwich
Delicious, hearty sandwiches are an excellent quick and easy meatless breakfast. In this case, thick bean paste will replace the sausage and cheese. Heat a frying pan with olive oil and fry the chopped onion for a couple of minutes until translucent. Drain excess liquid from a 400-gram can of canned red beans and pour it into the frying pan. Kneading it thoroughly with a fork, keep it on medium heat for 5 minutes. Next, add a small diced tomato, a finely chopped celery stalk, a clove of garlic and a few sprigs of dill to the beans. Season the resulting mass with salt and pepper to taste, mix well, and you can bring it to a homogeneous mass in a blender. While it cools, dry two slices of rye or whole grain bread in the microwave. Then generously spread them with bean paste and garnish with parsley and cilantro petals.
Porridge for a good mood
Of course, lean porridge for breakfast from any cereal can be safely included in the morning menu. The lack of milk and butter is compensated for by equally tasty ingredients. So, you can add a little berry jelly to semolina porridge. Cook traditional oatmeal with fruit juice or add dried fruits and nuts. Juicy pumpkin pulp can also transform your favorite porridge. Heat 2 cups of water in a small saucepan. While it is boiling, rinse a glass of millet cereal under cold water and cut 150 g of raw pumpkin into small pieces. First put the pumpkin in boiling water, then add the millet and salt to taste. Cook for 20 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly. If desired, you can add a handful of raisins, previously steamed in boiling water.
Rescue tofu
The hardest thing is for avid lovers of cottage cheese and fermented milk products, because during fasting they have to give up their favorite treats. Meanwhile, there is an alternative - prepare a delicious lean breakfast from tofu. This soy cheese with a high content of vegetable protein will successfully replace not only cottage cheese, but also regular cheese and even meat. For breakfast, it is best to prepare a healthy vegetable salad from tofu. Cut a small onion into half rings and scald with boiling water. We also cut a couple of medium-sized tomatoes and 100 g of tofu into cubes, cut the olives into rings. Now combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Next, mix the dressing from 1 tbsp. l. soy sauce, ½ tbsp. l. olive oil and ½ tbsp. l. lemon juice. Season the salad with it, mix and serve. You can come up with your own salad dressing!

Oddly enough, the most difficult thing during the fasting period is preparing breakfast. Because in the morning we mostly eat animal products. As a rule, these are porridge with milk, eggs or sandwiches with sausages or pates.
Lenten breakfast - basic principles of preparation
It's easiest for porridge lovers. It can be boiled in water, adding honey, dried fruits, berries, nuts or just fruit.

For a lean breakfast, you can prepare lean pancakes, pancakes, and vegetable casseroles. By the way, vegetable pancakes are also prepared.
Salads for breakfast during fasting are served with vegetable salads, seasoned with any vegetable oil.
Milk in coffee is replaced with a soy analogue. They also serve compotes, fruit drinks, tea, coffee, jelly or cocktails. We offer several meatless breakfast options. Interesting and healthy dishes and ways to prepare them.
