Would love some vegan breakfast options that feel breakfasty (USian). Avacado toast is great but avacados can be pretty pricey and I can’t eat that every day. Currently I just have a bunch of cashews in the morning and while I do love cashews I want something that has the right vibes and cashews just don’t.


I have a “quesadilla” but with just refried beans for breakfast nearly every morning. Super easy to make and I can cook it while I prep tea/coffee, and any sides I might be adding like potatoes/toast/etc. I make a large batch of refried beans every few weeks and then freeze them in mason jars, and just always keep one of those in the fridge.
I know you just described your bean prep, but just to inform anyone reading who might buy beans from the shop: canned refried beans often contain lard in my experience
