Double Chocolate Tofu Donuts

 Kicked off the Thanksveganing day of cooking and eating with a bit of a dabble into baking - this recipe seemed worth a shot!

Recipe

• 1 pack silken tofu, drained
• 1 1/2 c flour
• 1/4 c sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 c cocoa powder
• (dark) chocolate bar for topping

Mash up the tofu. Mix up the dry ingredients (flour, sugar & powders), then add in the tofu. Keep working it until it comes together and stops being crumbly (a couple minutes). Roll the dough into a long snake and cut into 8 pieces, and curl them into rings.

From here, you can fry or bake (375 degrees, ~15 mins). Meanwhile, melt your chocolate topping and dip the finished donuts.

Notes

1. The above doubles the original recipe. I got halfway into this before thinking, what else am I going to do with half a pack of silken tofu (especially with T-giving leftovers incoming...).
2. The dough took a little time and effort to come together, so be patient! Just when you think you messed up, it comes together.
3. I am not a baker and actually did mess up though. I forgot the baking powder, and made melting the chocolate topping kind of gross. Which left me with a dense and less-appealing final product.
4. All that said, I still liked them! Worth trying again soon :)

T-giving bfast for the coffee drinker in the house...
