Vegan scramble eggs breakfast

I experimented with tofu to recreate scramble eggs and I think this recipe really nails it. Even in the appearance 🙂

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp of grape seed oil
  • I package of soft tofu (you can use firm but I like this consistance)
  • 1 tsp of curry powder
  • 1tsp of garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp of turmeric (optional)
  • 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp of oat milk

Heat the oil in a frying pan and put the block of tofu in it. Use a fork to literally mash it in the consistence you would like.

Add all the other ingredients except the milk and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add the milk and heat for 1 minute.

That’s it. Ready to serve!!

Sautéed vegetables.

I serve this with some sautéed vegetable which I prepare before the tofu. I used this but you can use any soft vegetable you like. (Avoid using root vegetable as they will take longer to cook).

  • 1 onion
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1/3 jalapeño
  • 1 zucchini
  • 5 large oyster mushroom
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper
  • 1 medium tomato
  • 1 tsp of seasoned salt
  • 1 tsp of pepper

Diced all the ingredients.

Place the first 3 ingredients in a frying pan with a bit of oil and sautéed for a minute. Add the rest of the ingredients and let them sweat for a few minutes. Add a bit of water of broth to deglaze the pan and capture all the good flavour. Cook for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning. Ready!!

Cinnamon-Roll Bread with a twist

My teenage son rarely has much time for breakfast and always looks for something fast to eat like a smoothie or a muffin. I prepared a cinnamon-roll bread that was a big hit so here is the recipe.  This is an easy no-yeast recipe which is hard to mess-up and the streusel-like topping filling makes it yummy!

  • 1/3 cup of unsweetened applesauce (in lieu of sugar)

  • 2 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 1/3 cup of sour cream (or greek yogurt)

For the swirl

  • 1/3 cup of granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoon of water
