What goes into this Keto plant-based breakfast scramble?

As the name suggests, this vegan breakfast is prepared using tofu and veggies. This recipe starts with mushrooms, onion, and garlic for umami and aromatic flavors. Then the tofu is added along with turmeric, cumin, and nutritional yeast for flavor and that bright yellow color associated with traditional scrambled eggs. Finally, spinach is added for a healthy dose of nutrients and a bright green color.

What other veggies can you add to this tofu scramble?

This tofu scramble is super versatile and can be customized to your liking. You can add tomatoes, bell peppers, broccoli, or any vegetable you prefer. You can also replace the spinach with kale, collard greens, or arugula. For a more flavorful scramble, top it with vegan cheese and herbs.

What can you serve this Keto plant-based breakfast with?

You can eat this tofu scramble as is or serve it with avocado and salsa. You can also enjoy it with toasted Keto bread or Keto tortillas.

What type of tofu should you use for this recipe?

For this recipe, the best type of tofu is firm tofu. You can use firm silken tofu, extra-firm tofu, or regular firm tofu. Avoid soft types of tofu, as they will turn into mush when cooked.

Is this recipe suitable for meal prep?

Absolutely! Many of us have no time to prepare our own breakfast and often opt for processed breakfast bars or cereal. This Keto tofu scramble ensures that you get a nutritious meal first thing in the morning. Simply prepare a batch or two of this recipe, and store each serving in one microwave-safe container. Keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days, and microwave one portion whenever you want.

    Very good and filling! I would put only 1/2 the salt recommended. Too salty for me, especially with all the other delicious flavors

      Really nice seasoning and flavor. I might add some sausage next time to add some, I don’t know, density?

        This was fantastic! I'm not vegan, so I added an egg to each portion to make it a bit more filling. I really enjoyed it, and it kept well in the fridge for 3 more days too. This will definitely be a favourite breakfast!
