Baked Florentine Scramble

Creamy tofu with spinach, vegan

This dish is super easy and the results are spectacular. This dish goes great with traditional brunch fare like toast and home fries and I also love it served with warm corn tortillas and guacamole, and/or as a filling for a breakfast burrito, you decide what works best for you. Note: I use sprouted extra…

Lentil Crêpes and Waffles – vegan, gluten-free

  We love pancakes, crêpes and waffles and we have lots of recipes for them here at REAL. Recently after interviewing Chef Ramses Bravo about his cookbook Bravo Express, I learned that crêpes can be made with just lentils and water. We make crêpes from raw Buckwheat and water, as well as with Garbanzo Bean…

Steel Cut Oats and Millet Waffles

Ingredients 3/4 cup steel cut oats, dry, uncooked 1/4 cup millet, dry, uncooked 2 Tablespoons flax seeds (brown or golden) 2 cups water…

Buckwheat Crêpes, Gluten-free

  This is one of my favorites. Why? I start with raw buckwheat groats and make the flour by grinding them instead of buying buckwheat flour already ground. It’s fresher tasting and more flavorful. Toasted Buckwheat, also known as Kasha will also work. Toasted buckwheat will make a darker, chewier crêpe.   Just make sure…

Cherry Almond Waffles

We love waffles and make them all the time. We have many waffle recipes on this site that are vegan, gluten-free and totally yummy. Some are crispy, some are soft and cake-like. Try them all! This recipe is especially good because ground almonds are added to the batter for a rich flavor. I got started…
