My Easy Tofu Scramble (Vegan & Gluten Free)

Easy Tofu Scramble {vegan, gluten free}

Now the weather is getting cooler, warm breakfasts are most definitely in order. I love my sweet breakfasts (oatmeal, porridge, baked oats) but sometimes I get such a craving for a savoury breakfast. This Easy Firm Tofu Scramble is the perfect breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner to warm you up this Autumn!

When I first heard about scrambled tofu, I was pretty skeptical. I thought it sounded quite bland and I couldn’t comprehend it tasting of much at all! But then I tried it out myself and absolutely loved it. It’s all about seasoning and spices, the tofu is perfectly moist and soaks up the flavours amazingly!

Serving Ideas: I love having this Easy Tofu Scramble as a brunch-type meal on toast with avocado, olive oil and a little wilted spinach. It’s also delicious as part of a hearty savoury breakfast, think baked beans, hash browns, buttered toast, mushrooms and tomatoes = incredible!
