Easy Any Fruit Oatmeal

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1/3 cup dry oatmeal
* 2/3 cup water
* 1 piece of fruit of choice - oranges, apples, bananas, peaches, and blueberries work well
* cinnamon, to taste
* vegan sugar, to taste

Directions:

Place oatmeal in a microwave-safe bowl
and add 2/3 cup water. Microwave for 1-
1 1/2 minutes. Remove from microwave.

Meanwhile, chop up fruit and place in
small bowl. Sprinkle cinnamon and
sugar over fruit and mix to coat.

Add cinnamon sugared fruit to
oatmeal. Sprinkle additional cinnamon
and sugar over oatmeal if desired.
Microwave an additional 1-1 1/2
minutes, or until fruit is soft.

If I use oranges, I usually just cook
the oatmeal with cinnamon and vegan sugar,
then add the orange when the oatmeal’s
done cooking. The juice makes a great
sweet addition!

Garbanzo Pancakes

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1/2 cup Peanut Butter
* 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 2 teaspoon baking powder
* raisins (optional)

Directions:

Put all of the above in a blender. Add water until the mixture blends
easily. When thoroughly blended, continue to add water until a very
light, pourable consistency is reached. Cook pancakes on frying pan;
no oil or butter necessary in my experience. A bit tricky to flip, but
DELICIOUS!

Pretty in Pink Berry Oatmeal

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1 cup water
* 1/2 cup frozen mixes berries
* 1/2 cup oatmeal
* 2 tablespoon flax seeds (optional)
* sweetener (brown vegan sugar, vegan maple syrup, whatever)

Directions:

The best part of this one may be the
color- the oats soak up the berry
juices and you end up with a bowl of
magenta cereal!

Good with a multi-grain cereal instead
of straight oatmeal. The flax seeds
aren’t necessary but they give a
little bit of nutty flavor and are
good for you too. I used a frozen
berry mix from Trader Joe’s that had
blueberries, raspberries and
blackberries. Fresh berries would be
fantastic.

1. Pour a small amount of water (1/4
cup or less) into a non-stick pot or
pan. Turn heat on high and add the
berries. Simmer until berries start to
break apart (just a couple of minutes).

2. Add oatmeal, flax seeds, and the
rest of the water. Turn down the heat
and let it simmer, stirring often.

3. Pour it in a bowl, sweeten as
desired.

Serves: 1

Preparation time: 10 min

Super Good Tofu Scramble

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1 green onion
* 2 small cloves garlic
* 2 strips Smart bacon or other breakfast meat substitute
* 1/2 large block of firm tofu
* couple dashes of turmeric
* splash of liquid aminos
* pinch of nutritional yeast flakes
* oil for the pan

Directions:

First, you’ve got to heat up the pan on medium-
high heat with the oil to cook the bacon-but don’t
cook it too long or it will be overcooked once
you’re done. While you’re cooking the bacon,
start chopping up the garlic and green onion.
press as much water from the tofu as possible,
then use a cheese grater to grate the tofu into
semi-small chunks. you could probably mash it a
bit with a fork instead, but I find grating to be
a lot quicker. After you have the tofu grated
into a bowl, add the onion, garlic, bacon (cooked
and cut into small pieces by this time), the
turmeric and liquid aminos. You’ll want to stir
this up gently until you are satisfied that
everything is well mixed. Put it in the pan (it
should sizzle a bit) and sprinkle the nutritional
yeast flakes over the top. Keep stirring
occasionally for about 10 minutes or until you’ve
got the desired look of scrambled “eggs.”

I like to eat this with some hash browns, of
course. This is very very tasty, if i do say so
myself. Oh, and be careful with the turmeric. it
stains everything yellow.

Serves: 2

Preparation time: about 20 min

Boiled Banana Breakfast

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* one ultra-ripe banana, frozen solid
* one serving of a cereal of your choice (Grapenuts or bran flakes for me)
* two tablespoons wheat germ

Directions:

1. Slice the banana into 1-inch thick circles.
Arrange banana slices at the bottom of a nonstick
saucepan, cover, and cook at medium heat until
juicy and bubbling. (It is important that the
banana is both very ripe and very frozen, or it
won’t get juicy when you “boil” it.)

2. Mix together your cereal and wheat germ in a
bowl, then dump the hot banana on top. Mush it
all together. Eat it right away if you like your
cereal a little crunchy, or let it sit for a bit
for a softer consistency.

This is my favorite breakfast. “Boiling” (don’t
know a better term for it) the banana intensifies
the flavor to divine heights. It’s healthy as
heck, too!

Serves: 1

Preparation time: 10 min
