A few months ago, I met up with an old friend who happened to be in town for a convention. We had coffee and some sandwiches at a Dunkin’ store just across the street from her hotel. My friend is vegan so it’s a good thing that Dunkin’ has a vegan and vegetarian menu. Up until that time, though, I didn’t even bother to check this particular menu.
In this post, I’ll show you the vegetarian and vegan options on the Dunkin’ Donuts menu. I’ll be dividing this article into two parts—Vegan and Vegetarian—for clarity.
Vegan Menu Options at Dunkin’ Donuts
Veganism is a lifestyle that avoids consuming or using any animal products, including meat, dairy, eggs, and honey. Vegans primarily rely on plant-based foods for their diet, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes. That said, here are the vegan options at Dunkin’:
Multigrain Brown Sugar Oatmeal
Prepared with hot water, oat milk, or almond milk, this item is available at select Dunkin’ locations only.
Hash Browns
Hash browns make a great addition to a bagel, caffeine in cold brew or an English muffin. You can also enjoy them on their own or with a topping of avocado spread.
English Muffin
The plain, classic, and unassuming English muffin is a great quick fix for carbohydrates. Since Dunkin’ doesn’t have dairy-free butter, try sprucing it up with some avocado.
Sourdough Bread
Order this rustic sourdough bread toasted and ask for a side of avocado.
Cinnamon Raisin Bagel
A sweet and chewy bagel with raisins and a hint of cinnamon.
