Easy Protein Tofu Breakfast: 5 Delicious Recipes

5 High-Protein Tofu Recipes to Power Your Morning Breakfast

Tofu is a great, tasty way to add significant protein to your breakfast and enjoy good nutrition too. Because it has plant-based protein, it’s ideal for vegetarians, vegans and those wanting to try something different for breakfast. Try out these five simple tofu recipes because they are nutritious and will keep you satisfied until lunch.

1. Savory Scrambled Tofu with a Delicious Filled Fillo Shell

A top choice for a reason, tofu scramble is a tasty alternative to eggs. Break up tofu of any firmness and pan-fry it with a little olive oil. Adding chopped onions, bell peppers, spinach and mushrooms will improve both the taste and nutrition of your meal. Mix a bit of turmeric and kala namak (black salt) for a tasty and vibrant yellow color. Use nutritional yeast for a cheesy taste, garlic powder and black pepper. It tastes great on its own or alongside a slice of whole-wheat toast.

2. A High-Protein Tofu Breakfast Burrito Recipe

Raise your tofu scramble to a more filling level by turning it into a breakfast burrito. As discussed above, cook the tofu scramble and add either black beans or kidney beans for an added protein boost and more fiber. Put the tofu scramble, some salsa and cilantro in a warmed whole-wheat tortilla. Adding slices of avocado will provide your salad with good fats. You can eat them on the go at breakfast and make them easily ahead of time.

3. Sweet Tofu Smoothie Bowl is the solution:

If you want a lighter form of protein, try making a tofu smoothie bowl. Combine tofu with any of your favorite frozen fruits such as berries, banana or mango. Add a scoop of plant-based protein powder for an extra boost, a splash of plant milk (almond, soy, or oat), and a touch of maple syrup or dates for sweetness. Now, take the dense mixture to a bowl and add some granola, chia seeds, sliced nuts, or fresh fruit on top so that you can awaken your day with the extra texture and nutrition that these goodies bring. This colorful bowl is a cool and invigorating way to start your day

4. Baked Tofu breakfast patties:

If you like a breakfast that is more formal, then baked tofu patties are a great choice. Mash firm or extra-firm tofu and combine it with bread crumbs (or oat flour if also gluten free), fresh herbs such as parsley and chives finely minced, nutritional yeast, and spices you like (paprika, onion powder, little bit of cayenne). Form them into tiny patties and bake at 350F until golden brown and firm. These can be served with a side of roasted veggies, on a whole grain bun, or as a protein source on any breakfast sandwich.

5. Tofu “eggs” muffins:

These breakfast muffins are fast, convenient, and portable. Use silken or soft tofu, or whichever you have, and blend well with chickpea flour, plant milk, and nutritional yeast until smooth. Then add any of your favorite breakfast fillings, diced bell pepper and spinach, chopped tempeh bacon, or vegan sausage bits, pour into greased muffin tins, and bake until set and lightly browned. They are easy to travel with, and can be heated quickly, providing you with an easy and protein-enriched breakfast option throughout the week.

Adding these other tofu recipes to your breakfast habit is a simple way to ensure you are giving your body essential protein.
