Tofuture

I wanted to put some more basic recipes on my blog. Scrambled tofu is one of the first things that comes to mind and many people have asked me about this recipe. So here it finally is! It’s simple, nutritious and super delicious. I always make it this way and everybody loves this. It’s just so good, I can really crave this. I often eat this for lunch after coming back from a work out or when I’m just very hungry. There is not a lot that can top this! It’s perfect as a scrambled egg substitute, so if you crave scrambled egg, this is what you want to make. When I have left overs  (to be honest, this doesn’t happen a lot) I often add 2 big spoons of mayonnaise, mix it up and put it in a sandwich. Perfect for on the way.

TOFUTURE

Serves: 2

2 slices of bread
200 gr tofu (I used Tofoo)
1 tbs olive oil
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp garlic granules
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt/Pepper (to taste)
8 cherry tomatoes (cut in 1/2)
Handful of spinach
1 tbs nutritional yeast
2 tbs mayonnaise (optional)
2 tbs vegan cheese (grated, optional)

-Put the olive oil in a frying pan and crumble the tofu in a pan.
-Add the turmeric, garlic, paprika and some salt and pepper to taste.
-Mix it well and fry for about 3-5 minutes on a high fire.
-In the meantime toast (optional) some bread and put on some mayonnaise.
-Add the tomatoes and fry for another minute.
-Add the nutritional yeast and the spinach and fry until the spinach is soft.
-Divide the tofu mixture over the slices of bread and top it with some vegan cheese.
*I also like to add some sriracha mayonnaise on top.

French Castle

A while ago I made this for the kids (I’m a nanny) and when I put some pictures on Instagram, I got a lot of reactions. So I made it into a proper recipe and now you can enjoy it too! It’s the perfect recipe to make for a brunch. And you can make ‘the castle’ even bigger if you like, it will look so impressive and festive. Personally I looooove french toast and a lot of people think you need egg to make it, but that is not necessary at all. You can perfectly enjoy it without and it’s super tasty! Instead of topping it with maple syrup, you can also use some butter (I recommend Vitalite butter) and some soft brown sugar. Yum!

FRENCH CASTLE

Serves: 3-4 people

6-8 slices of bread (lightly toasted)
1,5 cup oat milk
1/2 cup flour
1 tbs nutritional yeast
1,5 tbs maple syrup
1 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Oil for frying
1/2 mango (chopped)
4-6 strawberries (chopped)
1 cup blueberries 
Maple syrup

-Mix all the ingredients (except the bread, duhh!) in a bowl.
-Heat a frying pan on a medium-high fire.
-When the pan is hot, pour in at least 1 tbs of oil.
-Let the oil get hot and dip the toast into the mixture.
-Fry the toast until golden brown on both sides.
-Put them all on top of each other and top with the fresh fruit and maple syrup.
*Also nice with butter and brown sugar!
