Tofu Scramble (Cholesterol-free and Oil-free)
Tofu scramble is a great heart-healthy, vegan alternative to eggs. With the addition of a little Turmeric for the color and Kala Namak Black Salt for an eggy taste, this vegan scramble will quickly become a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
Optional Veggies (sautee before adding Tofu)
- 1/4 cup Diced Onions (Yellow or Red)
- 2 Tbsp Red Peppers
- 1/2 cup Chopped Mushrooms
- 1 cup Baby Spinach or Kale (chopped)
- 1/4 cup Diced Tomatoes
Tofu Scramble
- 16 oz Firm Tofu, drained
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder, unsalted
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder, unsalted
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric
- to taste Black Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast for a cheesy taste
- 1/4 tsp Kala Namak Black Salt for eggy taste
Optional Spices
- 1/2 tsp Braggs 24 Herbs & Spice (or your preference of herbs)
- 1/4 tsp Hickory Smoked Torula Yeast bacon like taste
Instructions
- Note: All spices can be adjusted to your liking. Highly recommend not omitting the Kala Namak Black Salt if an "eggy" taste is desired.
- If using veggies (onions, peppers, or mushrooms) in your scramble, sautee them in a non-stick pan for about 4-5 minutes on medium-high heat. Add a splash of water to keep the veggies from sticking. Add spinach or kale to the pan and cook for an additional minute or so until the greens wilt.
- Push the sauteed veggie to one side of the pan. Add the drained tofu to the pan. Mash the tofu with a potato masher or a fork. Add all of the spices. Mix the tofu, spices, and veggies together until well combined. Continue to cook the mixture until all of the water is cooked out.
- Taste the scramble. Adjust the spices to your liking. Serve hot! Enjoy!

Pumpkin Seed Scramble (Cholesterol-free, Soy-Free, and Oil-Free)
Plant-based scrambled eggs using raw Pumpkins Seeds is a game-changer! They are soy-free, oil-free, and taste absolutely amazing!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw Pumpkin Seeds (Pepitas)
- Water for soaking
- 2 cups Water for blending
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp Onion Powder, unsalted
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder, unsalted
- ½ tsp Kala Namak Black Salt
- 2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
- ½ tsp Hickory Smoked Torula Yeast (optional)
Instructions
- Fill a small pot halfway with water. Bring the water to a boil. Turn the stovetop off. Add the raw pumpkin seeds to the boiling water. Cover and allow the seeds to soak for 1 hour.
- Using a strainer, rinse and drain the soaked pumpkin seeds. Add the drained pumpkin seeds to a blender along with 2 cups of water and the remaining spices. Blend until smooth.
- Pour a desired amount of batter ( about 3/4 cup for 1 serving) into a non-stick pan. Cook on medium-high heat until the batter begins to bubble and set up. Then using a silicone spatula begin to move the batter around like you would cooking traditional eggs. Continue to cook the batter to your desired texture. The longer you cook the firmer the scramble. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
- NOTE: Any remaining pumpkin seed batter can be stored in a tightly sealed mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- Optional Veggie Add-Ins: Veggies can be added to this scramble. Recommend sauteeing your desired veggies prior to adding the pumpkin seed batter to the pan.

Thank you very much for the video .
This is a little different then the tofu scramble that I make, and I am going to try it. I just ordered the kala namak. I have been wanting to try it and now I will with your tofu scramble recipe.
Would you be able to use the pumpkin seed mixture for dipping bread in it for french toast?
Hey Cathy! The Kala Namak is definitely a game-changer in this recipe. I have never used Pumpkin Seeds to make French Toast. I wouldn’t be able to say for sure if it will work or not. I have used Hemp Seeds to make French Toast. Feel free to check out our French Toast blog post: https://bit.ly/3BLj6jS
