Down Home Tofu Scramble

Breakfast, Egg Replacements

Difficulty: Easy Author: Elisa Burgos

Description

This is a simple, savory classic.

Ingredients

1 onion, diced

1 red pepper, diced

1 teaspoon thyme

4 cloves garlic, crushed

1 package of non-GMO firm tofu

½ teaspoon of turmeric

½ teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Herbamare ® or salt to taste (I use about ¾ teaspoon)

2 cups baby spinach or kale

Directions

In a dry pan, sauté the onion over medium heat. If the onion begins to stick to the pan, add one or two tablespoons of water or vegetable broth and cover the pan. After a few minutes, stir in the red pepper and thyme.

When the onion is translucent and soft, uncover the pan and add the garlic. Crumble or mash up the tofu with a potato masher, fork or your hands, and add it to the pan. Sprinkle the turmeric on top, then stir in the rest of the seasonings.

Let it cook for a few minutes so the flavors come together. Add the spinach. Cover the pan and allow the steam to soften the spinach for a few minutes. Uncover the pan, stir the mixture and cook it uncovered for 2 more minutes if you prefer a drier scramble.

Serve with whole-grain toast, chips or wrapped in tortilla for a "breakfast burrito" with sprouts, avocado and / or fresh leafy greens.

Notes

For a smoky hint reminiscent of ham or bacon, add ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika along with the other seasonings. You can also add other ingredients to vary the recipe if you wish, such as fresh minced herbs, chopped olives, mushrooms, tomatoes, capers, grated carrot, etc.

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cups

Breakfast, Desserts, Snacks

Prep Time: 15 min Cook Time: 45 min Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 12 oatmeal cups Author: Elisa Burgos

Description

These easy baked oatmeal cups are great for breakfast, snacks, or even dessert. They are kid friendly and perfect for a meal on the go. You can even make them ahead and freeze them.

Ingredients

1 small apple

2 ¼ cups plant milk of choice (almond, soy, oat, rice, hemp, etc.)

1 cup pitted dates (packed)

⅓ cup water

2 tablespoons flax seeds

2 tsp baking powder

3 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp nutmeg

¼ tsp ground cloves

3 cups rolled oats

⅓ cup raisins

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F using the convection setting.

Chop the apple into small pieces.

Pour the oats into a large mixing bowl.

In a blender, combine the plant milk with the dates, water, flax seeds, baking powder and spices until smooth. Stir the blended mixture into the rolled oats. Add the chopped apples and raisins, and stir to incorporate. Taste and adjust the mixture if needed.

Spoon the mixture into silicone muffin cups. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the tops are golden and slightly firm to the touch.

Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before running a knife along the edges and popping them out of the silicone muffin cups.

Serve these apple cinnamon oatmeal cups hot or cold.

Notes

Silicone muffin tins are essential for this recipe. They guarantee that no fat is needed to grease the tins. Paper liners will not separate from the baked mixture, but the oatmeal cups will pop right out of the silicone tins! Once you try them, you will love using them for all your baked goods.
