Vegan Breakfast Finally Hits Denny’s Menu

Denny’s has added a plant-based breakfast option, the Plant-Based Pancake Slam, to its menu at all 1,311 US locations. The dish features multigrain wheat pancakes made with flaxseeds, cinnamon, and brown sugar, served with crispy hash browns and seasonal fruit. Denny’s confirmed that the pancakes are free from milk and egg but contain wheat and soy.

This move follows a trend of Denny’s expanding its plant-based offerings, including previously offering Beyond Burgers and now testing a Dr. Praeger’s California Veggie Patty. The addition of a fully plant-based breakfast entrée at a legacy diner chain like Denny’s sets a precedent and shows that the demand for plant-based options is still strong in the food industry, despite other chains scaling back on such offerings.
