Some people go out to dinner for Valentine’s Day. Some stay home for a romantic meal. Either way, Valentine’s Day is all about giving it up for your main squeeze with great food, thoughtful gifts, and hot love notes.

Want to make a big impression this year? Cook them something plant-based. “Cooking done with care is an act of love,” said American food journalist Craig Claiborne. Heck yeah! Maybe make something with an “aphrodisiac” food like vegan Valentine’s chocolate, bananas, cherries, or whipped cream. Better yet, put them all together in one dessert like our Caramelized Banana Split! Boom chicka wow wow…

All we’re saying is, if you cook for your bae on Valentine’s Day, they’ll appreciate it. Whether that means breakfast in bed or a dreamy dessert, it’ll leave a lasting impression. Here are some of our favorite Valentine’s Day breakfast and dessert recipes to fire up your passion!
