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
- 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...).
- The dough took a little time and effort to come together, so be patient! Just when you think you messed up, it comes together.
- 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.
- All that said, I still liked them! Worth trying again soon :)
