Easy Vegan Pantry Recipes - Lauren McNeill, RD, MPH (2024)

With everything going on with COVID-19, and many of us in self-isolation or quarantine, I thought now would be a good time to share a roundup of my favorite easy vegan pantry recipes! All of these recipes rely on pantry staples like beans, lentils, other legumes, brown rice, canned tomatoes, coconut milk, pasta, dried spices, vegetable stock, and frozen vegetables. Some may also use common root vegetables that stay fresh for a while, like potatoes, carrots, and celery.

To get the full recipe, just click on the photo! I hope you love these easy vegan pantry meals as much as I do!

Peanut Lime Noodle Bowl

This peanut lime noodle bowl is the perfect balance between nourishing and hearty, and is one of my favorite meals to throw together when I want to be spending less than 20 minutes in the kitchen!

Easy Vegan Chili Recipe

Does anything scream comforting quite like chili? And in times like these, I think we could all use a little comfort. This chili comes together in 30 minutes and has all the makings of a delicious, hearty and nourishing meal.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Energy Balls

Peanut butter and chocolate- need I say more? If you’re looking for a quick and easy snack to make for you or your family, these peanut butter chocolate energy balls are sure to be a winner.

Vegan ‘Baked’ Beans

All of the goodness of traditional ‘baked’ beans… Without having to bake them for five hours. These easy vegan baked beans rely on canned cannellini beans (but any bean will do!) and tomato paste to make a warming, nourishing meal.

Healthy Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

I developed these healthy banana chocolate chip muffins when I wanted the comfort of my Mom’s traditional muffins, but with whole wheat flour, less sugar, and less oil. These muffins are a blog-favorite for a reason. Do yourself a favor and try them out!

Easy Vegan Ramen Recipe

If you’re looking for a recipe a little different than your traditional pantry staple meal, then look no further than this ramen dish. Packed with umami flavor, this soup is one of my all-time favorites.

Lentil Shepherd’s Pie

Who could say no to savory lentils and creamy mashed potatoes cooked to perfection right now? This meal is on my weekend to-make list, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Vegan ‘Butter’ Chickpeas

One of the most popular recipes on my blog, and for good reason! These creamy ‘butter’ chickpeas rely totally on pantry staples, and can either be made in the slower cooker, pressure cooker (set on high for 12 minutes), or stovetop (over medium heat for 30 minutes)!

Pressure Cooker Creamy Rosé Pasta

Determined to make a vegan rosé sauce pasta, I developed this recipe! Although the instructions are for a pressure cooker, it can very easily be made stovetop as well- just cook the pasta and sauce separately, and combine!

Vegan, Gluten-Free Oat Pancakes

A weekend staple in my household, these easy gluten-free pancakes are insanely delicious and insanely easy to make.

Chickpea Noodle Soup

Hands down the most popular recipe I’ve ever shared, my chickpea noodle soup. A twist on the classic chicken noodle soup, this comforting meal relies on chickpeas instead, but keeps all the delicious flavors of your childhood favorite.

Coconut and Sundried Tomato Braised Chickpeas

The second most popular recipe I’ve ever shared, these creamy coconut and sundried tomato braised chickpeas come together in 20-minutes and rely almost solely on pantry essentials, making it one of the easiest meals.

Easy Vegan Chickpea Mash

I make this easy vegan chickpea mash at least once a week for lunch- it comes together in 15 minutes and is insanely easy to throw together!
