If you’re like me and crave a breakfast that’s both filling and nutritious, this tofu scramble might just become a new favourite. High in plant-based protein and fibre, tofu is the perfect ingredient to keep you feeling full and energized for longer, and this recipe is as easy to make as traditional scrambled eggs. Plus, with just one pan, there’s minimal cleanup—ideal for busy mornings!
I’ve recently come to appreciate savoury breakfasts more, especially after learning how sweet breakfasts can lead to sugar spikes. Starting the day with a savory option like this tofu scramble helps keep blood sugar steady, which is great for energy and focus throughout the morning.
With rich flavors from tomato paste, paprika, and nutritional yeast, this scramble is simple yet satisfying. Serve it with avocado and toast, sprinkle on some sesame seeds or chilli if you like, and enjoy a breakfast that’s as nourishing as it is delicious.
Tofu Scramble
Ingredients
- 140 g tofu (I used half a block of tofoo)
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2-3 tbsp of soy sauce
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 50 ml soy milk
Serve with:
- 1/2 avocado
- 1-2 slices of bread
Instructions
- Start with the tofu that you’ll roughly need to crumble with your hands.
- Add all the rest of the ingredients, mix and cook for a few minutes, to give the time to the tofu to become hot and all the ingredients to really incorporate into the tofu. Add more milk if it drys out.
- Serve on a toasted slice of bread with some avocado. I sprinkled a bit of sesame seeds and chilli on top
