10 Ways to Eat Beans For Breakfast – Start your day with these easy recipes that are full of protein and fiber!
Thanks to USA Pulses and Pulse Canada for sponsoring today’s post.
Hi friends!
A few weeks ago, I introduced you to the wonderful world of pulses in this post: What Are Pulses & 5 Ways To Eat Them. In case you need a refresher, pulses are a term that encompasses dry peas, beans, chickpeas and lentils. They’re a gluten-free source of protein and fiber and are rich in important nutrients like iron, potassium and folate. In addition, they are very budget-friendly and also have a low carbon footprint.
In my last post, I shared 5 easy ways to add more pulses to your diet. However, many of those recipes were more appropriate for meals like lunch and dinner, as well as snack time. But have you ever thought about starting your day with pulses? That’s right! Today I rounded up 10 delicious recipes to encourage you to eat beans for breakfast!
Beans are packed with protein and fiber to help keep you full and focused all morning long. They make a great addition to many traditional breakfast dishes. Check it out:

I hope this gives you a few new breakfast ideas! If you’re feeling inspired to add more pulses to your diet, I encourage you to Take the Pulse Pledge! Simply pledge to eat pulses once a week for 10 weeks and you could win some great prizes. Plus it’s good for your health AND the environment!
Also remember that a lot of beans are interchangeable. If you don’t like black beans, swap them for white beans or even another member of the pulses family like chickpeas!
Enjoy!

So much beans! It’s crazy to think that just a few years ago I couldn’t stand them, but now I have beans almost every single day. Thanks for all these breakfast ideas and for including my sweet potato toast <3
I never really have beans for breakfast but there are so many great ideas here-pinning! PS hope you are feeling better!
I love beans so much…but I’ve never really incorporated them into breakfast! So many great recipes to try!
My husband introduced me to beans with breakfast when I had my first burrito (I used to be very set in my ways for breakfast) These breakfasts look super yummy and fun to eat

One recipe after the other is a great idea and looks delicious. Thank you for sharing! ~Carolyn @Cabot
I’m only really starting to see all the ways I can incorporate beans into my life. The best ones I’ve done so far are the bean tacos and vegetarian chili. Oh, and those amazing black bean brownies! I’m bookmarking this page for future use though. And I’m pretty sure I won’t just be using these recipes for breakfast. 😉
