What’s In This Gluten Free & Vegan Breakfast Scramble Recipe?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

• Silken Tofu – which I find has a wonderful soft texture that mimics real eggs.
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Turmeric – a staple in our spice cabinet. I try to add a teaspoon of turmeric into soups, stews, and rice dishes too.
• Garlic Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that gets used in our house daily! I love this garlic powder and add it to a lot of recipes that I would use fresh garlic in too.
• Chili Powder: for a really nice flavor in this scramble- the chili powder isn’t spicy but will give you a rich and bright flavor.
• Nutritional Yeast: not to be confused with bread baking yeast, nutritional yeast has a cheesy nutty umami flavor which is great in all kinds of dishes – I even sprinkle it on fresh popped pop corn and WOW!  Also great in soups and sauces of all kinds.
• Salt and Pepper to Taste
• Veggie Toppings of Choice!  I used kale and avocado for this recipe. 

How Do I Make This High Protein Vegan Breakfast Idea?

• In a frying pan, mash the tofu with a fork and begin to sauté over low heat.
• Add the olive oil, turmeric, chili powder, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast. Sauté on low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring well to combine. Taste, and add salt and pepper if desired.
• Add scramble onto toast or a bagel, toss with some vegetables, or just eat by itself… it’s great any way!
