Yum

As a vegan, I get more questions about replacing eggs as a food, or in a recipe, than any other ingredient – even more than cheese! Eggs are such a staple in most people’s diets, and they can’t imagine life without them. Whether you decide to stop eating eggs in favor of a plant based diet, or because they don’t agree with you or with a loved one, don’t fear! I’ve got your back with this recipe for Vegan Eggs!

 

There are so many ways to make vegan eggs for substitutes in  baked goods, and that’s a post in and of itself, but a quick list is, bananas, flax seeds, chia seeds, bean brine (What?! See this post on my Melt in Your Mouth Cornbread to learn more about that one!), etc, and there are even some commercial ones available.  It’s not as hard as you might think.  (Here’s a muffin recipe with coconut yogurt as an egg replacer) However, one of the things that you will quickly want to learn when cutting eggs out of your diet, is a what to make for breakfast on those days when you want a really satisfying, old school, scrambled eggs type breakfast! So today’s recipe is for just such an occasion!  This is a recipe that anyone who is either vegan, or just can’t do eggs, must have in their arsenal. It is fast, easy, and satisfying. I’ve taught this recipe or some variation of it at all of my cooking classes.  And the best part is that it’s really versatile! (Which may be a BIG TEASE for the subject of my next post!! It involves these vegan breakfast eggs, and a lot of Mexican flavors and yumminess, and that’s all I’m going to say for now!) Seriously, this is a recipe that you will want to master, because vegan breakfast doesn’t have to be all smoothies and oatmeal, it can be whatever you can dream it to be. Just start with this really basic recipe for scrambled breakfast tofu, and eat it as is, or get creative! It’s great with veggies mixed in, with salsa on top, with vegan cheese, etc! Oh, it doesn’t have to be just for breakfast! My kids love it when I make this for dinner! I throw some vegan jack cheese, and a bag of frozen broccoli or spinach into the scramble when it’s almost done, and serve it with toast! There’s seriously so many options!
