Ingredients
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 cup corn grits *I used Bob's Red Mill
- 1/4 cup vegan butter
- Optional: 1/2 cup vegan cheddar cheese shreds
Instructions
- In a medium sized pot, bring vegetable broth, water, garlic powder and nutritional yeast to a boil.
- Add grits slowly and whisk it in to prevent clumps. Cook uncovered over low-medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes until thick and creamy.
- Remove from heat and stir in vegan butter and optional cheese until melted. Add salt to taste as desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- You can serve cheese grits as part of breakfast, and it's also great as a foundation for various bowls. Try serving with BBQ Tofu, BBQ Tempeh, Collard Greens, Quick Kale and more.
- The shredded vegan cheese is optional but good. I used Daiya cheddar shreds, but you could also use my homemade Vegan Cheddar.
