Recipes

Tofu Scramble Burrito

Ingredients

• 1 tsp coconut oil

• 1 block firm tofu

• 1 Tbsp. nutritional yeast

• 1 tsp turmeric

• 1 tsp garlic salt

• 1/4 cup non-dairy milk

• Pepper to taste

• Tortilla wraps

• Salsa

• Spinach/mixed greens

• Avocado

• Red onion

Instructions

1. Rinse and drain the water from the package of tofu. Pat the brick of tofu with a paper towel to absorb any excess water.

2. In a non-stick pan heated to medium, add coconut oil and crumble the tofu by hand into small pieces into the frying pan.

3. Heat and fry together for another 2-3 minutes, then start adding in the spices, sea salt, and nutritional yeast.

4. Cook for another 4 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed and you're starting to see some browning on the tofu.

5. Then you're going to reconstitute the scramble with almond milk and cook for another 2 minutes. During these last couple of minutes add ground pepper and green onion if you like.

6. Spoon ~ 1/3 of the scramble along the middle of the tortilla wrap and add salsa, spinach, avocado and red onion as well. These toppings are optional, add or take away whatever you do or don't like!

7. Wrap up the burrito, cut in half and serve warm!

Chia Seed Pancakes

Ingredients

• Vegan margarine

• 1 cup of oats

• 1 Tbsp. chia seeds

• 1/2 tsp vanilla

• 1/2 tsp maple syrup

• 1 1/2 cup of plant milk

• Berries

• Banana

• Maple syrup

• Nut butter

Instructions

1. Add oats, vanilla, chia seeds, maple syrup and plant milk to a blender and mix on high speed until oats are broken down.

2. Put the mixture into the fridge for 10 minutes to allow the batter to thicken.

3. Heat up a non-stick pan oven the stove on medium heat and add vegan margarine so a thin layer covers the bottom of the pan.

4. Once the pan is warm, add 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and allow the pancake to cook for 3-4 minutes until brown, the flip and cook on the other side! Repeat this until all the batter is used up.

5. Serve the pancakes warm with whatever toppings you like; I usually add fruit (bananas, strawberries, blueberries) and peanut butter.

Happy cooking!
