Making a birthday breakfast for an omni

Ok, so my "twin"'s birthday is on monday and tomorrow I'm gonna make her a celebratory vegan breakfast because she's in love with all the vegan food I make but the problem is: I have no idea what to make!!!
I was thinking maybe something like cinnamon rolls, but i can't make just that. suggestions?!?!?
Help me pleeeeaaassseee!!
breakfast potatoes (hashbrowns/homefries/etc), soysage/veggie bacon, 'butter milk' biscuits (I like to use orange juice to curdle the milk instead of lemon...adds a hint of sweetness!) and gravy, some sort of tofu scramble?, fresh juice, tea, coffee. That's off the top of my head.
I totally vote hashbrowns or something, those are always yummy. If she likes your vegan food then I'm guessing she likes tofu? Mabye a breakfast sandwich, tofu slices pan fried with some tumeric and NY with a tomato slice (or something like that).
I hope it goes good!! I loveee cooking for omnis (but it always makes me nervous at the same time!)

With some hashbrowns.
I made vegan french toast for my boyfriend's bday, but he wanted bacon too, so I made him make that part of his breakfast.
everyone seems to vote on hashbrowns. i think i'm one of the only vegans who's not so crazy about starchy stuff: bread, rice, pasta, potatoes... most people don't get enough insoluble fiber because all they eat is starchy stuff. i actually had to start making it a point to eat a sandwich or something everyday because i wasn't getting enough soluble fiber!
do you have a waffle iron? i used to make my siblings "winnie the pooh and tigger too" waffles (we had a waffle iron with their faces on it). i would add my own touch of a splash of orange juice, cinnamon, and vanilla. it was always a hit.
:)
if she likes tofu AND likes scrambled eggs, try a tofu scramble. my wife likes tofu but HATES eggs so she won't even try tofu scramble because she doesn't like the texture of scrambled eggs.
maybe sautee some peppers and onions to go with the tofu scramble? i always like mine with that.
and the cinnamon rolls sound yummy. :)
I'm a huge fan of the hashbrowns, but I also think scones, or a nice muffin is a delicious start to the day.
You can never go wrong with panakes.

Make her french toast w/ carmelized bananas and root beer reduction syrup, hash browns, tempeh bacon and some mimosas. Then tell her she has to match that shit for your birthday
root beer reduction syrup
I have no idea what this is but it sounds amazing. And now I want some.

lmfao!!!
sb, great idea haha. Love ittttt
I was gonna have a suggestion, but I vote for sb's. Sounds awesome.

i totally agree.
I like to keep things pretty simple for myself and wouldn't even think of getting as fancy as SB and some of the others!
For omni overnight guests, omni brunch potlucks, etc. I usually make Cheesy Potato Casserole with chopped up veggie sausage patties mixed in. To save time in the morning, I usually make the sauce the night before and put a bag of Ore Ida frozen hash browns in the fridge overnight and mix it up and bake it in the morning and serve it with some fruit. It always seems to be a hit - I usually get asked for the recipe.
Whatever you decide, good luck! ;)b
