This tofu scramble breakfast bowl is easy, wholesome, and delicious! It makes a great plant-based breakfast option, as it is full of healthy fats, fiber, and protein, while also being gluten-free.
I think one of the most important ways to keep your blood sugar balanced and stable throughout the day is making sure your meals have a source of protein, healthy fats, and fiber, while packing in lots of color! This tofu scramble breakfast bowl is great because it is so easy, you can make it on one sheet pan and can be meal-prepped, too!
How to make this tofu scramble breakfast bowl
- Cut your potatoes, toss in olive oil and seasoning, and bake for 10 mins.
- Crumble the tofu using your hands and toss it in the seasoning. Chop your veggies.
- Remove the pan from the oven and add the scrambled tofu, next to the potatoes, and then the chopped veggies next to the tofu.
- Bake again until done to your liking (tossing half way through).
- Assemble your bowl with greens, fresh avocado, hot sauce or pico de gallo, and a sprinkle of optional hemp seeds.
Ingredients and substitutions
Tofu: I like to use the high-protein extra firm tofu (I get the trader joes brand, but I know Walmart also sells it). This tofu is so firm you don’t have to worry about pressing the water out of it. However, any firm or extra firm tofu will work. You just want to make sure you press the water out.
Veggies: You can make this tofu scramble bowl with any veggies you love or have on hand. These make a great clean out the fridge meal, because they’re so versatile. I love onions, greens, and peppers with breakfast food so I usually stick to those. However mushrooms, fresh tomato, and even riced cauliflower or steamed broccoli would all be great additions!
Potatoes: You can use red potato, sweet potato, etc. – whatever you like best.
