Start the day right with this perfectly soft and creamy tofu scramble. 10 minutes to make, one pan – a delicious vegan alternative to eggs.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you’ve been stuck in a breakfast rut, scoffing the same old bowl of oats morning on end (I'm looking at myself here kiddos), then I think you might just love this scrambled tofu – a fail-proof recipe that is beautifully seasoned, soft and creamy, ready to enjoy over grainy toast with a side of greens. Breaky perfection!<\/p>\n [bctt tweet=\"Soft and creamy tofu scramble – a quick and easy plant-based breakfast.\" username=\"laurenglucina\"]<\/p>\n Tofu can be so hit and miss – particularly in a dish like this. Most recipes call for a firm block crumbled into a pan, cooked with a mixture of spices. Let me save you a breakfast disaster – this can only result in a dry plate of blandness! And no, you can’t disguise it underneath a pile of toppings, no matter how hard you try.<\/p>\n The secret in my opinion – is to add both milk (oat) and fat (coconut cream). With these two simple additions, magic happens, and, if you season it right – you’ve legit got the best tofu scramble in town.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hooray for a beautifully simple recipe!<\/p>\n Start by preparing the tofu scramble seasoning – simply whisk the oat milk and coconut cream together with the nutritional yeast, black salt and spices (paprika, turmeric, onion powder) [photo 1].<\/p>\n Open up your packet of tofu, drain and pat with a paper towel. Transfer to a plate and mash well with a fork [photo 2].<\/p>\n Heat a tablespoon of oil in a cast iron skillet, and finely chop chives while you wait the quick minute it takes to warm up [photo 3].<\/p>\n Add tofu to the skillet, and cook on low to medium heat for a just couple of minutes, stirring frequently [photo 4].<\/p>\n Pour the prepared liquid over the tofu, and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, allowing the liquid to absorb [photo 5].<\/p>\n Vegan scrambled eggs are done! Sprinkle over your chives, serve hot and enjoy! [photo 6].<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can keep it simple and serve your tofu scramble on a seed loaf, grainy bread<\/a> or sourdough (just add avocado).<\/p>\n Or – take it as an opportunity to get an extra few cups of fresh greens into your diet (we should be aiming for 8-9 cups a day).<\/p>\n I enjoyed this recipe with a simple rocket, avocado and cucumber salad, roast cherry tomatoes, fresh home grown broccoli sprouts courtesy of hubby (packed full of sulforaphane – antioxidant, cancer-protective powerhouse), seed bread with beet hummus<\/a>, and the most gorgeous sunflower sprouts.<\/p>\n Ain’t that just a healthy, vibrant feast for the eyes! (Honestly - this was the most epic breakfast ever, so delicious).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tofu is a great protein source<\/a> for those on a plant-based diet – this recipe alone provides 14g per serve. However – organic and GMO free or not, tofu is still a processed form of soy bean, so my recommendation is to limit consumption to one serve a week.<\/p>\n I’m fine with regular consumption of edamame, tempeh and miso - a full blog on soy consumption and health is on the way.<\/p>\n Enjoy guys XO<\/p>\n If you make and enjoy this recipe, please leave a rating below.
