VEGAN "EGG MCMUFFINS"

I know most vegans aren't exactly craving mcmuffins. This is an awesome quick breakfast to make and why not make a better recipe for all those who are craving mcmuffins! Its a way healthier alternative.You could fry up some tempeh bacon or tofurkey links too. They taste amazing in the sandwich. This is my favourite breakfast to make on my days off. Its easy to change the spices up according to your taste. I personally think this is the best way to make them look like real scrambled eggs. Something I still miss and I'm sure some of you miss them too. This is my fix and I hope it'll be yours too! 

VEGAN EGG MCMUFFINS

RECIPE

1 package of soyganic tofu

1/4 white onion, diced

3 cloves garlic

2 mushrooms, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

1 teaspoon turmeric

1/2 teaspoon cumin 

1 teaspoon curry 

1/2 teaspoon pepper

daiya onion and chives vegan cream cheese

2 english muffins

STEPS
Add one tablespoon of olive oil to a medium size frying pan. Turn up to medium heat and add a dash of salt. Allow to heat up for a couple minutes. Put a small slit in the top of your tofu container and drain the water out. Remove the seal and mash up your tofu with a fork. Once the entire thing is broken up evenly add it to your heated pan with a spatula. Distribute the tofu evenly in the pan. Begin cutting up your veggies, garlic first. Add all your vegetables to the pan. Stir all the ingredients together. Allow to fry for 5 minutes. Add all your spices, nutritional yeast to pepper. Stir all ingredients together. Allow to fry for another 15-20 minutes. All the water from the tofu should be absorbed. It should look like this!

Toast your english muffins and spread some daiya cream cheese on each side. You can slice up a tomato as well. Scoop out a large spoonful of your "scrambled eggs" and spread it on your english muffin. Use half for each sandwich and that way you can eat some on the side!

Breakfast is served!

BREAKFAST GRANOLA BARS

BREAKFAST GRANOLA BARS

So last night my boyfriend and I had a sweet tooth but weren't sure what to make. I had tons of nuts and peanut butter so i figured I'd make some granola bars. He had a weird request though, Cheerios! My boyfriend LOVES cheerios. So I figured I'd be able to make something good! This was definitely a "whatever you got in your pantry" kind of dessert but its great for taking to work and munching in the morning as well! Try experimenting by putting your favorite cereal in it or maybe some agave syrup instead of jam. Its basic, easy and good for you:)

Recipe

1/2 cup quick oats
1/2 cup graham flour
1/2 cup cheerios
1/4 cup almonds
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup cranberries
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons jam
1 tablespoon almond fresh coconut milk
2 tablespoons earth balance butter, melted
1 cup peanut butter, smooth

Steps

Preheat your oven to 325 F

Combine all ingredients (quick oats-sugar) in a large bowl. Stir together well. Once mixed, add your jam, almond milk, earth balance and peanut butter. Your mixture should begin to form into a big ball. If its too dry you can add more milk or agave syrup. The more sticky stuff you put in it the better they will stay together! Stir it together very well, pushing it down while you're doing this to help make the mixture stick together well.
Rub some earth balance on a baking dish so your granola bars don't stick. Pour your entire mixture into your dish and begin to press it down with a spatula. Continue to press your granola bars for 10 minutes.
 Make sure theres lots in all the corners and edges. The longer you press them the better your granola bars will stick together so keep going as long as you can! Once your granola bars are packed enough sprinkle something on top to finish it. I used coconut shreds. 
Give them one more push to make sure all the coconut will stay on your bars and put it in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before you eat. If its still steaming let it sit longer. If you cut it to soon your bars will fall apart! If you want them  to stay together really well don't cut them that night. Leave them in the dish and refrigerate overnight. Theres no way they will fall apart after that. Enjoy:)
