Breakfast of Champions! French Toast and Scramble!



This morning I made a delectable Vegan Breakfast! My all time favorite Weekend Breakfast is French Toast, and although I was never huge into eggs- Tony is, so I decided to make a Tofu-Scramble as well.

Here's what you'll need:

French Toast:

1/2 loaf of bread ( I used wheat, but would recommend Italian Bread, or something a little stale for better hold)
4 Tbsp Vegan Butter (Try Earth Balance)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp raw sugar (or Agave)
1/4 cup of tofu (any kind will work, but silken or soft is best)
1/2 banana
1 Tbsp Cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg


I used a magic bullet for this, but you can use a blender food processor or whatever you have. Put Tofu, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Banana, Sugar, and Vanilla in Blender and blend until smooth. Pour this mixture into a shallow bowl. Dip bread evenly on each side. Melt butter in Medium Heat Pan. Place bread evenly on pan and cook until lightly browned. Flip bread and cook over side.

*If you are making the Tofu Scramble after this and you dont want your French Toast to get cold, turn on your over to Warm with a cooking sheet inside, and put the french toast on the cooking sheet to keep it warm.

Tofu Scramble:

1 block Firm Tofu
1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
1/2 tsp Turmeric
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1 onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1 Tsp fresh, minced garlic
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup fresh chopped baby spinach

In pan, heat olive oil and add in onions, peppers and garlic and stir until onions are translucent and browned. Squeeze most of the water out of the tofu with your hands. (It doesn't have to be completely dry- you want it to taste fluffy) Crumble the Tofu into a bowl and add to the veggie mixture. Add in your spices and mix. Add in chopped spinach and Nutritional Yeast and mix. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy your breakfast, you Champion!
