If you’re looking for new delicious vegan keto recipes, you are in the right place. These easy vegan keto ideas are easy to make, use simple ingredients, and cover every single meal group.
Foolproof and nourishing keto vegan recipes
It’s no secret I love coming up with vegan recipes and keto recipes, but finding dishes that allow me to cut back on carbs while staying plant-based can be a challenge. Many keto recipes tend to rely on meat to leave you satisfied, while vegan recipes use carbs to make heartier, more filling dishes.
Believe it or not, many recipes stick to the low-carb keto lifestyle while remaining 100% plant-based. Below are my top keto AND vegan recipes that everyone will enjoy. Whether you are new to following a vegan keto diet or a seasoned pro looking for more ideas, I hope you’ll find something delicious below.
Simple make-ahead breakfasts
Breakfast is one of the easiest to fit into low-carb and plant-based diets. Even a combination of raw nuts and berries is an acceptable alternative to kickstart the day.
Made with just 2 ingredients, this coconut yogurt is rich in probiotics and healthy plant-based fats. Enjoy it as is, or top it with crunchy homemade keto granola.
These nutrient-packed breakfast cookies are flavorful and come together in just over 20 minutes. Instead of eggs binding them together, a delicious combination of chia and nut butter does, adding even more fiber and protein.
Yes, pumpkins are seasonal, but I make these pancakes year-round (thanks to my homemade pumpkin puree). These are also easy to batch cook and freeze, so you can enjoy them during busy mornings.
Swap the eggs for an egg substitute, and you’ve got chocolatey, moist, and fluffy muffins, the breakfast of kings! If you don’t want chocolate, my keto muffins are eggless, too.
This sounds like an oxymoron, but a delicious combination of seeds and nuts thicken up coconut milk to yield a creamy bowl of breakfast goodness. Top with some berries and you are done.
Satisfying and hearty snacks
When I’m on a health kick, midday cravings and mindless snacking are usually what cause my diet to fall off the rails. Luckily, each of these snacks are tasty, filling, and guaranteed to keep you on track.
Made with 3 ingredients in less than 10 minutes, these nutritious chips are straight-up addictive. They are also so much cheaper than the packaged varieties!
Energy balls are a go-to in any diet, but they’re often held together with carb-heavy oats. These chocolate energy bites are made with creamy almond butter instead, and they taste incredible! Also, try my fat bombs too.
When I’m starving between meals, protein bars are my lifesaver. They’re the perfect on-the-go snack with over 20 grams of protein and just 2 grams of carbs.
I can never resist a handful of good old-fashioned trail mix, especially when it’s packed with protein and less than 2 carbs per serving.
Zucchini are low in carbs and high in fiber, and make the perfect “chips.” Eat them alone or dip them in creamy keto hummus.
Nourishing keto and vegan dinners
From hectic weeknights to big family get-togethers, each of these recipes is easy to make, easy to customize, and perfect for meal prep. They are also great to meal prep and perfect for a quick dinner idea.
Packed with low-carb zucchini and cauliflower, these vegan-friendly patties make the perfect swap for meat in burgers and wraps, or you can enjoy them as is.
Skip the carbs but not the flavor with this easy fried “rice” recipe.
Simply swap store-bought BBQ sauce for this keto BBQ sauce, and you’ve got the perfect protein-packed tofu dish. Multiple cooking options included.
This one-pot curry is aromatic and super flavorful. Pair it with cauliflower rice, and you’ve got the perfect low-carb plant-based dinner.
Indulgent yet simple desserts
Coming up with vegan AND keto desserts might sound impossible. But once you give these recipes a try, you’ll never think of dessert the same way again!
Thick, creamy, perfectly sweetened, and made with just 3 ingredients. No ice cream maker required.
No one will be able to resist this homemade toffee, and they’ll never guess it’s secretly low-carb and sugar-free!
Looking for easy recipes to use up soft avocados? Believe it or not, whipped avocado makes the perfect decadent, low-carb dessert, especially when chocolate is involved.
If you love Reese’s, you’re going to fall in love with this keto and vegan-friendly version!
Satisfying side dishes
Squeeze in your daily dose of greens while keeping low-carb with these tasty, versatile sides. Most of these are also easy to adapt, so use different seasonings and herbs.
Lightly seasoned with soy-garlic Asian flavors and cooked in 5 minutes, the results are perfectly prepared bok choy every time.
Even the picky eaters at the table will be going for seconds of these crispy yet tender brussels sprouts. You won’t even miss the parmesan cheese.
Skip the mayo and you’ll still get an unbelievably refreshing, crunchy, satisfying salad (with half the carbs). I sometimes eat a larger portion of this for a lunch or light dinner.
These crispy, spicy buffalo bites are full of flavor and deceptively low-carb. Just make sure to use vegan-friendly buffalo sauce (I like the Tokito brand).

- 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, powdered sugar substitute, and baking soda. Add the peanut butter, coconut oil, and vanilla and mix well.

Notes
- Get most of your calories from plant-based fats. Avocados, nuts, nut butters, seeds, and coconut yogurt are healthy sources of vegan-friendly fats that will help meet your keto goals. As for cooking, I prefer coconut oil or non-dairy butter.
- Focus on high-protein vegan staples. Tofu, tempeh, and seitan are all low-carb, high-protein staples that can be enjoyed daily, not to mention they’re versatile and easy to prepare using a variety of cooking methods.
- Eat loads of low-carb vegetables. Cauliflower, broccoli, and spinach are just some low-carb vegetables you can eat to your heart’s content.
