Vegan Crumpet Toppings: 20 Tasty Ideas!
Need ideas for vegan crumpet toppings?
I’ve got you covered!
If you’re bored of your go-to toppers and you want to shake things up a little bit, you’re about to get all the inspiration you need to make breakfast (or lunch, or even dinner) exciting again.
From the super healthy and nutritious to the more indulgent, there’s something here that’s sure to tickle your tastebuds. Best of all, they’re all quick and easy and likely require ingredients that you already have in your kitchen.
Before we jump into the full list, it’s important to mention that you may need to do a little due diligence if you’re following a strictly vegan diet.
Many of the ideas here are definitely, absolutely, 100% free of any animal products or derivatives. Some though rely on picking up items from the supermarket that are usually completely vegan friendly, but not always.
Let’s take jam, for example. Most of its ingredients are plant based so it’s very often suitable for vegans, but you will occasionally come across brands that use things like gelatine, which is an animal product.
The bottom line is that if you’re trying something new, it’s always worth double checking the packaging.
Now without any further ado, let’s get stuck into the list…
The best vegan crumpet toppings
1. Guacamole, chilli flakes, and fresh lime juice
2. Hummus and grated carrot
3. Marmite
4. Marmalade
5. Your favourite fruity jam
6. Rocket, avocado, and fresh lemon juice
7. Sliced tomatoes and fresh basil leaves (rub your crumpet with a clove of garlic for extra deliciousness!)
8. Peanut butter and banana
9. Olive tapenade
10. Apple compote and cinnamon
11. Spicy tomato salsa
12. Garlic mushrooms
13. Mashed mixed berries
14. Banana, maple syrup, and walnuts
15. Cashew butter, strawberries, and vegan chocolate sauce
16. Tofu scramble and hot sauce
17. Mushrooms with caramelised onions
18. Roasted tomatoes with garlic and kale
19. Sliced falafel, hummus, and tahini dip
20. Leftovers!
Finally, let me just expand on that last idea right there. If you’ve got leftovers from last night’s dinner, there’s a pretty good chance that they’ll work really well as a vegan crumpet topping idea.
I’ve done this with spicy bean chilli, lentil stew, veggie casserole, tofu curries, and a huge variety of other dishes. Just reheat, pile on to your toasted crumpet, and you’re good to go! If you like, you can add some fresh herbs, dried chilli flakes or even a little vegan cheese before popping under the grill until melty and delicious.
Using up your leftovers cuts down on waste, stops you from having to make an extra trip to the supermarket, and will be much kinder on your budget too.
Final thoughts on the best vegan crumpet toppings
Crumpets are a fantastic pantry staple for ensuring that you’ve always got a quick and easy breakfast or lunch on hand, and with a little bit of creativity, you need never get bored of repeating the same toppings over and over again.
Another great option is vegan friendly cheese. These days, you can find some fairly delicious dairy alternatives in the supermarket, and if you discover that you enjoy them, they open up a ton of extra different choices for breakfast time and beyond.
Whether you choose a healthy and on trend option like sliced avocado with rocket and a squeeze of fresh lemon, or go with something super easy like your favourite fruity jam, you definitely don’t have to miss out.
