Try this Tofu Frittata for the perfect plant-based breakfast life hack! Hearty, protein-packed, and gluten-free, this essential meal template requires minimal effort. Follow the recipe below, or create something of your own with whatever spices or veggies you fancy.

First up is a creamy tofu filling made with just a few simple ingredients you can throw right into your blender or food processor. Start with drained, firm tofu, nutritional yeast (for a hint of cheesy flavor), and chickpea flour to bind the filling together. Pour in almond milk, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and turmeric, then blend until smooth.

Next, mix in 3 cups of diced vegetables (chef’s choice!), pour filling into a lightly oiled pie dish, and bake for 1 hour at 350°F. Allow the frittata to cool wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Easy as (tofu) pie!

For this variation, pour filling into a lightly-oiled muffin tin instead of a pie dish. Then, bake for 30 minutes (instead of 1 hour). This variation is excellent for meal prep or as a convenient, meal on the go.

No matter which option you choose, this is a phenomenal way to pack in protein and a variety of nutrient-dense vegetables at the start of your day!
