A vegan alternative to scrambled eggs. They are high in protein, easy to make, and have the texture of eggs!

The Best Tofu Scramble

My stubbornness is both a blessing and a curse. It’s a blessing because I thrive on a challenge. If someone tells me I can’t do something, you can bet I’ll prove them wrong and do it. I’m stubborn in a way that I won’t give up. I may fail many times or make several mistakes in the process of reaching my end goal, but I will get there and accomplish what I’ve set out to do. All because someone told me I couldn’t do it.

But it’s a curse because sometimes it gives me tunnel vision. I can be so set on doing it one way, convinced it’s the right way and it ends up being wrong. There are times I have to be reminded that there is more than one way to get to the same outcome.

I recently let my stubbornness get in the way of logical thinking. It did not end well. My arms were full, really full. Bags hooked on my arms, a big binder in my hands, a jug of water tucked under my arm, and two dozen eggs balancing on the binder. I looked like a circus performer! I could have made two trips, but I was stubborn and thought I could do it in one. And I was offered help, but declined because I thought I could carry it all. It was just a short trip.

As I was pushing the door open with my shoulder, a dozen eggs went sliding out of my arms and hit the floor! I screamed! Oh my goodness, it was such a mess. Such.a.mess. Had I just made two trips or accepted the help this wouldn’t have happened!

This Simple Tofu Scramble is not only great for vegans, but when there is an egg shortage or when eggs are not affordable due inflation, these work as the perfect substitute for scrambled eggs! They go nicely with a slice of my Grandma’s Homemade Oatmeal Bread, you can use them in a Vegetarian Breakfast Sandwich, or have them with a stack of these Easy Healthy Pancakes!
