Blending tofu into a thick, creamy base is a game-changer for breakfast meal prep. I whip up a batch, keep it in the fridge, and use it all week to make egg fry, omelettes, waffles, tofu chia pudding, protein pancakes, and so much more.

If I am planning to use it for only savory breakfast, I add the cornstarch and salt, otherwise I just blend tofu and water as the base and store it.

Why You’ll Love Whipped Tofu

💡Tips
- If the omelette or egg fry is too delicate, add more cornstarch or flour. Different Tofu brands can have different amounts of moisture.
- For the egg muffins, add a little extra flour if they’re sinking or staying too soft in the middle.

Whipped Tofu Base Recipes
There are two easy ways to make your whipped tofu base. The savory version adds flavor plus cornstarch and flour, making it perfect for eggy dishes like scrambles, omelettes, and strata. The neutral/sweet version keeps things simple and works beautifully in sweet recipes like French toast, pancakes, and puddings.

Savory Whipped Tofu Recipes
Use the savory whipped tofu mixture to make all kinds of delicious, eggy vegan breakfasts.
Whipped Tofu Egg Fry

Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 2 to 3 tablespoons savory whipped tofu
- turmeric
- black pepper
- Kala Namak, aka Indian Black Salt/Sulphur Salt
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat, and add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the savory tofu mixture, and spread it out. It might start to bubble and spatter a bit, but if it's spattering too much turn the heat down a little bit. Sprinkle turmeric in the center for a yolk look, and sprinkle black pepper and kala namak generously.
- Cover the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, increasing heat to medium at the 2-minute mark. Once it's golden on the edges and the center has set, top with pesto, a small pinch of Kala namak , my bacon drizzle (see notes), chili oil or other toppings of choice. Serve immediately on buttered multigrain or sourdough toast, with sliced tomatoes or avocado.

Protein Pancakes

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder, or extract
- 1/4 cup sweet whipped tofu mixture
- 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 6 to 7 tablespoons non-dairy milk
- berries, chocolate chips, or cinnamon, optional
Instructions
- Mix the flour, almond flour, baking powder, and vanilla powder (if using) well. Press and mix to mix the almond flour in. Stir in the vanilla extract (if using), the whipped tofu, maple syrup, and 6 tablespoons of the milk to make a thick batter. If it's too thick, add more milk to thin it out, but don’t thin out too much. Keep batter thicker than pancake batter.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high, and add some oil or vegan butter. Once the oil is hot, spread the protein pancake batter onto the skillet. The batter is going to be thick, so you’ll need to spread it out using a spatula instead of by hand. Then press in the berries and chocolate chips. Cook 2 minutes until golden, flip, and cook another minute or two. Serve with fruits, maple syrup, vegan butter, and your favorite fixin’s.
