Ingredients for Your Fluffy Vegan Omelette

This recipe yields a single serving. Simply double or triple the ingredients for more!

1/2 block firm tofu
3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
1 1/2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp kala namak (black salt, crucial for the "eggy" flavor!)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp vegan cheese (optional, for a cheesy twist)
For the filling (optional, but highly recommended):
- Cooked carrots, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms
- Olive oil or cooking oil for sautéing

Instructions: How to Make Your Vegan Omelette

Prepare the Tofu Batter: In a blender or food processor, combine the firm tofu, unsweetened almond milk, flour, cornstarch, baking powder, turmeric, kala namak, and garlic powder. If using, add the vegan parmesan cheese. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. The consistency should be similar to traditional omelette batter.
Sauté Your Fillings (if using): In a non-stick pan over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté your chosen filling vegetables (like carrots, onions, peppers, and mushrooms) until tender and slightly browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Cook the Omelette: Heat the same non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Pour about half of the tofu batter into the pan, tilting to spread evenly. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the edges begin to firm up and the top looks mostly set.
Add Fillings and Fold: Carefully arrange your cooked vegetable filling over one half of the omelette. Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelette over the filling.
Finish Cooking: Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, pressing gently to secure the fold, until the omelette is golden brown and cooked through.
Serve Warm: Slide the fluffy vegan omelette onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy your protein-packed breakfast!

Protein Boost: Increase the protein by adding crumbled vegan burger or finely diced smoked tofu to your filling.
Spice It Up: A pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha in the batter or as a topping can add a lovely kick.
Gluten-Free Option: Simply swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend to make this recipe completely gluten-free.
Cheesy Delight: For maximum cheesiness, use a melty vegan shredded vegan cheese in the filling and a sprinkle of vegan parmesan cheese on top.

Pro Tips & Hacks for the Perfect Vegan Omelette

Prep Ahead: To make your morning even quicker, prepare the tofu batter and chop/cook your desired vegetables for the filling the night before. Store them separately in the refrigerator. In the morning, simply combine the batter ingredients, heat, and cook!
Achieve Maximum Fluffiness: Ensure your baking powder is fresh! It's key for that light, airy texture. Also, blending the batter until perfectly smooth is crucial.
Non-Stick is Key: A good quality non-stick pan will make flipping and folding your omelette much easier and prevent sticking.
