20-Minute Eggy & Fluffy Tofu Scramble (Vegan)
Say hello to this creamy, eggy and fluffy scrambled recipe that’s ready in 20 minutes. It’s a protein-packed, dairy-free and healthy vegan breakfast that you can quickly make throughout the week.
Why You’ll Love My Recipe
In my years of enjoying and developing vegan recipes, this tofu scramble is a go-to that I make multiple times a week. And let me tell you that I have cracked the code when it comes to creamy, fluffy and moist tofu scramble. Most of the recipes that I’ve tried online result in a really dry tofu scramble. But my recipe is most similar to traditional scrambled eggs – they’re fluffy and moist.
This recipe is also FAST and flavourful! A lot of recipes online require 10+ ingredients and you really don’t need that many to achieve creamy and savoury scrambled eggs. (When I have a little more time on my hands I love a more ambitious recipe like my vegan quiche). But this recipe is quick and effective, using few ingredients and achieving a creamy, eggy and delicious result!

Ingredient Notes
- Extra Firm Tofu – this recipe uses extra firm tofu. Now the key to getting tofu scramble that isn’t dry is to NOT PRESS YOUR TOFU IN ADVANCE. Most recipes will tell you to do this, but in my experience of making this recipe over and over, we want to hold in some of the natural moisture.
- Tahini – adds a beautiful creaminess to the tofu scramble to emulate traditional scrambled eggs.
- Oat-milk – A must-have as well in adding additional creaminess and moisture for ultra fluffy and creamy tofu scramble. Oat milk is my favourite because it adds a very light touch of natural sweetness but you can use any plant-milk of choice.
- Nutritional Yeast – Gives beautiful flavour and depth to the dish. It’s a must-have in my opinion.
- Black Salt (Kala Namak) – Optional but highly recommended for eggy flavour.
How to Make Vegan Tofu Scramble
Serving Suggestions
I love this tofu scramble served with my oven roasted potatoes and wilted spinach. Or enjoy simply with some toast!
Storage Instructions
Leftovers will keep for up to 5 days in an air-tight container in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave or cooktop. Add a splash of oat milk to bring back moisture if it becomes a little dry when reheating.

20-Minute Eggy Tofu Scramble (Vegan)
Ingredients
- 1 block extra firm tofu
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 2/3 cup oat milk (or plant milk of choice)
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black salt (optional but highly recommended for eggy taste)
Instructions
- Break the tofu into small chunks using your hands (no need to press it in advance for this recipe). Add to a medium skillet with the olive oil and chopped garlic and bring to medium heat on the stovetop. Cook until the water begins to sweat and simmer out of the tofu, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the oat milk and spoonful of tahini. Mix to combine, then add the spices: nutritional yeast, turmeric, smoked paprika, sea salt and black salt. Continue cooking on a low simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated and the tofu is an eggy consistency, about 7 minutes.
- Serve warm with your favourite sides. I like it with a side of wholewheat toast, roasted potatoes and wilted spinach!
