Healthy Crockpot Breakfast Scramble

By , On , In Breakfast, Recipes, All Recipes

Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by. Today we are sharing this easy to make 100% plant based overnight, Healthy Crockpot Breakfast Scramble.

There are many vegan recipes for scrambles out there, but most of then call for tofu. In this recipe, chickpea flour takes the place of the tofu—with creamy delicious results.

Get it all ready before going to bed and let it cook overnight while you sleep! Perfect for busy days and it makes a decent amount that you can enjoy with kaiser buns or your favorite bread, and you can easily pack some for lunch or share with family!

#PLANTPOWERED INGREDIENTS:

NUTRITIONAL YEAST

Nutritional yeast is an excellent source of non animal protein, containing all nine essential amino acids (the ones you can obtain only via your diet). Nutritional yeast is also widely regarded as a good source of B vitamins, including vitamin B12, another nutrient typically only found in animal foods. Perhaps best of all, nutritional yeast has a nutty, cheese-like flavour that can be used as a cheese substitute in recipes.

Notes

Crock Pots: They all cook at different paces! So we recommend making this for the first time during the day and watching it to see how long it needs to cook until you’re happy with it, because as awesome as it is to wake up to a warm and satisfying scramble, I’d imagine that it would be equally disappointing to wake up a big bowl of sad brown stuff. Ours, for example, only took four hours on low, but we have a powerful little crock pot that cooks things quite quickly. So it’s worth watching it once the first time.

  1. We can’t use chickpea flour due to an allergy, what would you suggest as a substitute? Looks delicious, looking forward to trying this out!

    • Hi Jennifer,
      There are several options to substitute the chickpea flour in this recipe. If you wish to keep the consistency then add 1 cup of blended soft tofu or 4 Tbsp of tahini. Another option is to use 1 medium size yam cut into cubes or 1 cup of red lentils. Have fun experimenting 😉
