Chickpea Scramble Recipe (Vegan Scrambled Eggs)

How to Make the Best Chickpea Scramble Recipe (Vegan Scrambled Eggs)

Looking for a hearty, protein-packed breakfast that’s completely plant-based? This chickpea scramble is the perfect vegan alternative to traditional scrambled eggs. With a satisfying texture from mashed chickpeas and cauliflower, plus warming spices like curry powder and cumin, this dish delivers all the comfort of a classic breakfast scramble without any animal products.

What makes this recipe special is the combination of nutritional yeast and hemp seeds, which add a subtle cheesy flavor and extra protein boost. The apple cider vinegar brings a slight tanginess that mimics the taste of eggs, while fresh spinach adds color and nutrients. It’s an ideal choice for anyone following a vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-friendly diet.

Ready in just 30 minutes, this chickpea scramble is perfect for weekend brunches or meal prep throughout the week. Serve it on its own, wrapped in a tortilla, or alongside avocado toast for a complete and nourishing meal.

Instructions

Chickpea Scramble

  1. In a skillet or cast iron pan, sauté onions and jalapeno over medium heat with coconut oil or other oil. Cook until onions are softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add cauliflower and mushrooms and sauté for a few minutes. Add in the chickpeas, curry powder, coriander, cumin, salt, black pepper, and water. Stir to combine, turn the heat to medium-low, and cover with a lid for about 4 minutes.
  3. Remove the lid and roughly mash a portion of chickpeas and cauliflower with a fork. Stir in the nutritional yeast, hemp seeds, apple cider vinegar, and spinach. Stir until the spinach slightly wilts, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Adjust to taste adding salt or a dash more vinegar if needed. Garnish and serve.

Notes

  • Adjust the jalapeno amount based on your spice preference.
  • The salt amount may vary depending on the sodium content of your canned chickpeas.
  • This recipe is egg-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and gluten-free.
