What You’ll Need To Do
Time required: 25 mins
1| First things first—drain the tofu for about 15 minutes to get rid of all that extra water. You want it nice and firm for scrambling!
2| While that’s happening, grab a bowl and toss in your turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, tahini, and nutritional yeast. Slowly whisk in the oat milk until you get a smooth sauce. It’s like creating magic in a bowl!
3| Now, crumble the tofu into chunky bits with your hands. No need to be perfect, just break it into bite-sized pieces.
4| Heat up 1 tbsp. of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s nice and hot, throw in the tofu and sauté it for about 5-7 minutes, stirring now and then until it’s lightly browned and crispy around the edges.
5| Pour that glorious sauce over the tofu and give it a good stir to coat everything. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until you’re happy with the texture.
6| Season it up with salt and pepper to taste, then pile it high on your toasted bread with a generous helping of smashed avocado. Sprinkle on some parsley, and voilà—serve it warm and enjoy your tofu scramble on avocado toast!

Recipe Swaps & Creative Tweaks
Recipe Swaps:
→ Tofu Swap: Not a tofu fan? No worries! You can use scrambled eggs instead for a non-vegan version or try crumbled tempeh for a similar plant-based alternative.
→ Tahini Swap: Out of tahini? Peanut butter or almond butter works too! It adds a nutty flavor and keeps the scramble creamy.
→ Oat Milk Swap: Any plant-based milk like almond, soy, or cashew milk can replace oat milk. Even regular milk works if you’re not strictly vegan.
→ Bread Swap: Want something different? Swap the toast for whole-grain wraps, bagels, or even crispy sweet potato slices for a gluten-free option.

Create Tweaks:
→ Spice It Up: Add a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
→ Add Veggies: Toss in some sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms to pack in more nutrients and color.
→ Extra Crunch: Sprinkle toasted seeds (sunflower, pumpkin) or crushed nuts on top for added crunch and texture.
→ Zesty Twist: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving adds a burst of freshness!
→ Herb Boost: Swap parsley with cilantro or chives for a different herb flavor.

Helpful Tips for Success
Useful Tips for Making the Best Tofu Scramble on Avocado Toast:
1| Press the Tofu Well: Draining the tofu properly is key! Use a tofu press or place it between paper towels with something heavy on top to remove excess moisture. This helps it brown better and gives it a great texture.
2| Don’t Over-Crumble: Crumble the tofu into medium chunks rather than super fine bits. It gives the scramble a heartier feel and better texture.
3| Whisk the Sauce Thoroughly: Make sure the sauce is smooth and well-blended before adding it to the skillet. This ensures even coating and consistent flavor throughout.
4| Toast to Perfection: Lightly toast the bread until golden brown for the best crunch. You want it sturdy enough to hold the creamy avocado and tofu scramble without getting soggy.
5| Season at the End: Wait until the tofu is fully cooked before adding salt. Adding it too early can draw out moisture and prevent the tofu from browning.
6| Customize the Flavors: Don’t be afraid to tweak the spices! Love garlic? Add more garlic powder. Want more smokiness? Add a touch of smoked paprika.
7| Serve Immediately: This dish tastes best fresh and warm, right after cooking. Toast the bread and mash the avocado while the tofu cooks for perfect timing!

3| Bowl It Up: Skip the bread and serve the scramble with a side of roasted sweet potatoes, quinoa, or brown rice for a nourishing breakfast bowl.

Storage Options
Refrigerate the Tofu Scramble:
Store leftover tofu scramble in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. When reheating, add a splash of oat milk or water to bring back some moisture and prevent it from drying out.
Avocado Storage Tip:
If you have leftover mashed avocado, store it in an airtight container with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice on top. This helps prevent browning. Use it within 1-2 days for best freshness.
Toast Storage:
It’s best to toast the bread fresh before serving, but if you have leftovers, store toasted slices in a ziplock bag at room temperature for a day or two. Re-toast lightly to revive the crunch.
Meal Prep Friendly:
You can make the tofu scramble ahead of time and store it separately. When ready to eat, just reheat the scramble, mash a fresh avocado, and toast your bread for a quick, homemade breakfast.
These simple storage tips will help keep your leftovers tasting fresh and delicious!
