Showing you how to make the BEST Tofu Scramble recipe! These vegan scrambled eggs are flavorful and fluffy (and easy to make).

I think by now we can all agree that tofu is a magical ingredient. You can make tofu pie and tofu smoothies and the tastiest, crispiest tofu. But did you know you can make vegan scrambled eggs with tofu?

This is what breakfast dreams are made of, friends. In just 15 minutes your flavorless block of tofu is transformed into fluffy and flavorful tofu scramble!

Ingredients for Tofu Scramble

Firm Tofu: Firm tofu will provide the best texture for tofu scramble. Silken tofu will make for less defined crumbles and a softer texture (so it’s your preference really).
Nutritional Yeast: This magical healthy ingredient adds cheesy, eggy flavor (while being totally plant-based). Bonus: it’s loaded with vitamin B12!
Hummus: A few spoonfuls of hummus give these vegan eggs the creamy, hearty texture you would expect from traditional scrambled eggs. You could also use cashew cream here if you’re not a hummus fan.
Turmeric: Macaroni-colored turmeric brings that classic scrambled egg look to this tofu (because eating is largely visual!)
Salt and Pepper: Finish it off with a healthy pinch of salt and pepper (and any other spice you’re feeling like throwing in).

Tips for the perfect scramble

This vegan scramble egg recipe is so easy, but these tips will ensure it turns out perfect every time!

Use firm or extra-firm tofu: These types of tofu have a denser texture, which makes them ideal for scrambling. Soft or silken tofu will be too delicate and may fall apart when cooked.
Press the tofu: Before cooking, press the tofu to remove excess moisture. You can use a tofu press, or wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top (such as a cast iron skillet) for about 15 minutes.
Add veggies: Tofu scramble is a great way to sneak in some extra veggies. Try adding chopped spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, or tomatoes. Saute them in a separate pan before adding them to the tofu scramble.
Add toppings: Top your tofu scramble with chopped herbs, nutritional yeast, hot sauce, or avocado slices for extra flavor and nutrition.
Serve with toast or potatoes: Tofu scramble is delicious served with whole-grain toast or roasted potatoes for a filling breakfast or brunch.
