This Chicken and Waffle Recipe Just Proved ANYthing Can Be Made Vegan

There comes a time in everyone’s life when brunch is the most important meal of the week. It’s not just a meal—it’s a way of life.

The best part of this burger is that it’s stacked with delicious plant-based bacon and homemade cruelty-free vegan fried chicken. You know you can’t look away.

We started with our favorite vegan fried chicken recipe by SolFood Vegan.

Vegan cheese (we used Follow Your Heart slices):

Vegan bacon (we used Sweet Earth Hickory & Sage Smoked Seitan Bacon):

Another waffle:

And we could have stopped there. But we didn’t.

Watch it all come together:

This burger is proof that anything can be made vegan. And we’ll let you in on a little secret: You can eat this any time of day. What are you waiting for?
