Tofu Scramble plus Printable Pantry Basics List
I’ve frequently mentioned our love for breakfast for dinner. While I think my kids (and maybe even hubby) could have pancakes numerous times a week I tend to get a bit bored when I make something too many times in a row. Hence the reason for a food blog.
Another of my hubby’s loves is eggs. I am not as big a fan and am actually moving towards an egg free diet (a post on that coming soon) so I wanted to make something egg like for me while making hubby his fried eggs. I decided to make a tofu scramble.
Tofu scrambles are pretty commonplace among the vegan circles and are a breeze to make and very versatile. Sub in any veggies you want. Mushrooms would be fabulous in here. I had leftover black beans so I threw those in but feel free to leave them out.
Ingredients
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 package firm or extra firm tofu
- 1/2 cup black beans
- 4 Tbs nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp turmeric (mostly for color)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onion and pepper, saute until softened. Add the garlic and saute a couple minutes. Add a little water if they start to stick.
- Add the tofu and crumble with spoon, leave pretty big chunks as they will break up as you cook.
- Add the nutritional yeast, garlic and onion powders, cumin, and turmeric.
- Stir to combine well.
- Add the black beans and cook until heated through.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
Also, I made a list of all my favorite grocery items to keep on hand. If you keep these items on hand, making healthy meals will be a breeze! I’ve now used the term “breeze” twice in this post. What can I say? It’s been very windy here lately and apparently I have wind on my mind!

Let me know if you have any issues with the link or the document. Also, let me know if you like it, don’t like it, wish it was done differently. I really love hearing from you guys!
