Published 2/22/2016 • Updated 1/29/2024 Our love affair with black beans continues with this protein-packed breakfast bowl recipe! This recipe was inspired by a dish we ordered at a local Minneapolis favorite – Freehouse. It’s like combination of our black beans breakfast burritos and vegetarian brown rice bowl, made with tons of veggies, whole grains, and protein. We also included some veggies like kale, brown rice, a fried egg, pumpkin seeds, and tahini dressing for a delicious breakfast bowl recipe, giving you all the nutrients you need to power through your day, one bite at a time.

Easy Swaps for Your Breakfast Bowl
Rice: Swap out the brown rice for roasted sweet potatoes, breakfast potatoes, or sweet potato hash browns. Black beans: Not a fan of black beans? Try different protein options like turkey sausage, chicken sausage, or any other ground meat you prefer. Fried egg: We made fried eggs to go with these breakfast bowls, but scrambled eggs, egg whites, or hard-boiled eggs would be delicious, too. Bell peppers: Not a fan of massaged kale or want to add more veggies? Add in some sautéed bell peppers! Hummus dressing: we used a variation of our hummus dressing, but if you don’t have it on hand you can use your favorite dressing or straight-up tahini.
How to Store Leftovers
This recipe makes for amazing meal prep! Portion out each part of the bowl into glass meal prep containers and seal. Store in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.
How can I reheat these breakfast bowls?
We recommend reheating the black beans, rice, and kale in the microwave for 30 seconds. Then, add your fried egg, pumpkin seeds, tahini dressing, or any other toppings you like.
