Hi, friends!

I’m really excited about this recipe because it’s one of the breakfast staples in my house.

If you’ve spent any time in the F&V breakfast archives, you know that I’m a consistent sweet breakfast eater.

But whenever I *do* make the first meal of the day savory, it’s *always* with a tofu scramble!

This tofu scramble, to be exact.

So today I’m sharing the long overdue tofu scramble recipe that I’ve made, tweaked, and loved over the past few years.

My Easy Tofu Scramble Plate is made with extra-firm tofu, garden vegetables, and nutritional yeast.

Make it on the stovetop in less than 30 minutes for a protein-packed breakfast, brunch, or dinner!

Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookie

Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookie made with oats, banana, and dark chocolate chips. Bakes in 25 minutes for a fun breakfast!

Sometimes reality TV is weirdly comforting to me.

The day I first made this a single serve breakfast cookie I was simultaneously binge-watching Love Is Blind Season 2 on Netflix.

Judge me, but watching these “love stories” unfold from the comfort of my living room was wildly cathartic.

And inspired me to make an equally cozy baked breakfast.

I alternated between sitting on the TV couch and standing by the oven to check on the cookie progress.

When it was done I enjoyed mouthfuls of cookie while watching drama unfold on the TV screen.

I’ve made plenty of breakfast cookies on Flora & Vino, but I’ve never made a *single* breakfast cookie.

This Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookie is made with, oats, banana, and dark chocolate chips.

Each cookie has all of the healthy nutrition of a bowl of oats, shaped and baked into a crave-able cookie!

It bakes in just 22 minutes with 7 ingredients you probably already have on hand.

Lemon Blueberry Cashew Granola

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Lemon blueberry cashew granola made oil-free with cashew butter and sweetened with maple syrup. Bursting with dried blueberries and lemon!

We are a granola household, friends.

It’s my favorite crunchy topping to any breakfast situation.

Usually I’m happy to buy and support my store bought favorites (there are so many good ones!), but when I make store bought granola, I do it with *feeling*.

I think M would be happy if we never bought store bought granola again.

Which I might be on board with, if this Lemon Blueberry Cashew Granola didn’t disappear quite so fast from the cabinets.

He *loves* the stuff I make, because we can control the ingredients, texture, and sweetness.

In this house, we like chunky, lightly sweet, granola with lots of nuts, seeds, and berries.

This Lemon Blueberry Cashew Granola is bursting with dried blueberries and lemon zest with an optional coconut flake crunch.

It’s the vegan, gluten-free, and no-oil-added you need on everything this Spring!

Carrot cake almond flour muffins with almond milk yogurt, shredded carrots, walnuts, and raisins. Perfect to meal prep for snacking.

I have my first sunburn of the year, friends.

The warm pink glow on my forehead is a reminder of happy hours spent outdoors on Saturday.

This past weekend I hiked the “Difficult Run” 10 mile trail in Virginia with friends.

It was strange to sweat and squint in the sunshine; my body and brain adjusting to the feeling of actually being HOT.

It felt so good, despite the fact that my face probably got a little more Vitamin D than necessary.

As of yesterday, it’s officially Spring, so I’m testing all of the seasonal flavors in F&V kitchen.

These Carrot Cake Almond Flour Muffins are my current favorite seasonal snack.

They’re made plant-based and gluten-free with super-fine almond flour and old-fashioned oats.

They’ve got the best taste and lots of texture, made with shredded carrots, walnuts, and raisins.

Green Tahini Date Shake

Green plant-based protein shake with creamy tahini, Medjool dates, and a big handful of leafy greens. Perfect for a quick breakfast or snack!

Did I tell you that I’m training for a marathon?

You might also find it amusing that I *just* completed my first two runs of 2022 this March.

As warm weather teases us here in Maryland, I’m slowly getting my running momentum back.

Those 26 miles seem unreachable right now, but that’s kind of the point, right?

After my half marathon a few years ago, I couldn’t imagine running anything further.

Which is why I want to do it; to prove to myself that I’m stronger, more resilient, more capable than I could imagine.

Well, that, and because I love running.

Needless to say, for the remainder of the year, I’m going to need all of the fuel.

This Green Tahini Date Shake is the fresh shamrock-colored shake you need for Saint Patrick’s Day.

It’s got creamy tahini, Medjool dates, a big handful of leafy greens, and plenty of plant-based protein.

Let’s shake things up this spring!

Blended Cacao Chip Chia Pudding with Chocolate SunButter and sweetened with Medjool dates. Perfect to meal prep for breakfast or a snack!

Hello!

I haven’t posted in a while and that’s because I’ve been a bit busy with video.

No, I didn’t start a YouTube channel, but I have bene dabbling in Instagram reels and I even created a TikTok account (come say hi!).

If you’re on social media lately you know that our feeds are now filled with moving images set to popular music.

It’s a brand new world, friends.

It’s helped me to approach the project as a big experiment, and as a total beginner.

The whole endeavor kind of feels like Flora & Vino did in my business baby’s infancy stages.

New, exciting, and scary, with low lows and high highs and a step learning curve.

All for the potential of a viral post or video, right?

I’m less concerned with going viral and more concerned with continuing to provide you with delicious content, like this Blended Cacao Chip Chia Pudding.

It requires just five ingredients for a decadent yet nutritious breakfast, snack, or dessert.

Banana Walnut Chocolate Chip Protein Muffins

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Protein-packed vegan muffins made with banana, walnuts, dark chocolate, and plant-based protein. Perfect for breakfast, snack, and dessert!

Hi, friends, and happy 2022.

How is your new year treating you?

It’s been a while since I last posted, and I missed you!

I had the unique opportunity to travel to Germany over the holiday and new year to meet M’s family and friends.

Those four weeks abroad were the longest I’ve ever taken away from a job, from my business, or, from, well, anything!

Germany was beautiful and historic and welcoming and I loved getting to know M’s favorites and identifying my own in Europe for the first time.

After a month it felt like home; a cozy slice of the earth that was hard to leave.

I’m forever grateful for the special people and beautiful places I connected with there.

I teared up in the airplane on the way back, wondering how many more people and places could also become home if given the chance.

But for now, I’m back home, which for me is in my condo in Maryland.

I’m finally fully recovered from jet lag (which is *no* joke, by the way!), and craving all of the plants.

These Banana Walnut Chocolate Chip Protein Muffins were my first post-vacation creation!

They’re vegan, gluten-free, and refined-sugar-free without any added oils and a boost of plant-based protein.

Orange Cranberry Overnight Oats

By Flora & Vino 3 Comments

Easy overnight oats made with fresh squeezed orange, almond milk yogurt, and tart dried cranberries. Perfect to meal prep for breakfast on the go!

In Germany, we sat around the kitchen table in the morning, watching the Coffee Siphon brew coffee from one chamber to the next, like an hourglass where time runs both ways.

We sipped on dark roast brew and chatted in Hemingway-style sentences until the caffeine started to kick in.

When my tiny coffee mug was empty (mugs are much smaller, in Germany!) I stood and stretched and announced it was time to start the day.

After returning from my holiday in Germany I’m working on revamping my morning routine.

II miss my coffee companions abroad, but also am enjoying setting up some structure for 2022.

This year, I started setting my alarm earlier so I have time to meditate and start the day with stillness.

Meditation is a habit I started in Germany, silently sitting cross-legged on my travel yoga mat, bathed in sunshine from the winter garden.

The same reliable players are always on my morning menu, too; movement, water, gratitude, journaling, and, of course, coffee.

And now, let’s add in Orange Cranberry Overnight Oats!

These overnight oats celebrate citrus season with fresh squeezed orange paired with creamy yogurt and tart cranberries.

They’re perfect to meal prep quickly for busy mornings this winter!

Millet Breakfast Porridge

Millet porridge cooked in coconut milk with cinnamon and maple syrup. Ready in 30 minutes on the stovetop for a cozy breakfast alternative to oatmeal!

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?

I have a fast growing pile on the outskirts of the living room, stacked with half-open Amazon boxes, chocolate bars, and un-framed photos.

The unmade gifts of Christmas 2021 future.

I have to be careful to keep the ones for M covered with a random sweater or photo frame.

But the best hiding place for gifts is in plain sight, right?

I did most of my holiday shopping early this year to prepare for some time off around the holidays.

Which means I can totally wait until the last minute to wrap it.

But I refuse to wait until it’s freezing to make warm bowls for breakfast.

Lately, I stumble out of bed, dress in warm layers, then make a bowl of something warm to eat with my coffee.

This Millet Breakfast Porridge is ready in 30 minutes on the stovetop for a cozy alternative to oatmeal.

Load it up with your favorite toppings and save any leftovers for an easy breakfast tomorrow!

Cranberry Apple Crumble

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Cranberry apple crumble with an oat and SunButter crumble topping naturally sweetened with maple syrup. Perfect for a festive breakfast or dessert!

So, this recipe was originally going to be a Cranberry Crumble.

You know I love alliteration, and the double C around Christmas-time was just too much to pass up on.

But after I went apple picking I had an excess of orchard apples and decided it would be wrong *not* to throw the apples into the mix.

So the Cranberry Apple Crumble was born, and I think you’re going to appreciate the addition of apples in this mix.

The combination of tart cranberries and sweet juicy apples topped with a sweet Sunbutter and oat-based crumble is easy, delicious, and so versatile!

I’ve already made this Cranberry Apple Crumble THREE times this fall and each time I love it a bit more than the next.

It’s totally vegan, gluten-free, and refined-sugar-free and created with no-added-oils.

It’s perfect for a fun breakfast, dessert, or snack for the holiday season to make and share!
