Ingredients
- 14 ounces extra-firm tofu
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sage
- 0.5 teaspoon thyme
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
- 2.5 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top for at least 15 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseeds and water to make a flax egg. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens.
Step 4
Place the walnuts and oats in a food processor and pulse until a coarse meal forms.
Step 5
Crumble the pressed tofu into the food processor and add the nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, sage, thyme, soy sauce, and maple syrup.
Step 6
Add the prepared flax egg as a binder and pulse until the mixture holds together but is not completely smooth.
Step 7
Form the mixture into 1-inch balls, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Brush or spray the balls lightly with olive oil.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.
Step 10
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. These bites can be enjoyed as is or paired with your favorite vegan dipping sauce.
