New Vegan Gluten-Free Tofu Meatballs 🍝
|
Hi Reader, I have a vegan meatball recipe on the blog that I love, but I wanted to come up with another option that's gluten-free for those of you who can't do seitan or breadcrumbs. Given my love for tofu, it was an easy choice as the base, but I worried that it was destined to create a mushy meatball. 🫠 Then it occurred to me to try chickpea flour as the binder—I mean, it works for pakora and chickpea flour omelettes, right? And it turned out great! The texture actually exceeded my expectations. Clearly, Mark loved them, too, because we inhaled that first batch like nobody's business. I tested them a couple more times to get the flavors dialed in and make sure it would also work with extra-firm tofu (vs. super-firm). All you need are 10 ingredients, plus a few optional ones. And you can bake them in the oven OR the air fryer. 👍 Tofu Meatballs

There are many versions online now, which tends to happen after a recipe goes viral. Usually they're made with plenty of chopped dill pickles and a mayo-based dressing. It's kind of like macaroni salad but doesn't necessarily use elbow macaroni. And other than some white onion,...
Hi Reader, I have a new sweet treat to share with you today, plus a few recipes for Memorial Day Weekend and the unofficial start of summer. ☀️ First, Banana Mug Cake! It's fluffy, sweet, delicious, and works with a variety of different flours and sweeteners. Try it with whole wheat pastry flour or oat flour for a healthy-ish breakfast treat. Or use "regular" flour and sugar for a more straight-forward banana cake vibe if that's what you're craving. Basically, it's like banana cake and banana...
Hi Reader, I have a new dinner recipe for you today! The next time you're craving something comforting, nourishing, and really easy to throw together, give this a try: Beans and Greens with Gnocchi! It’s a one-pan wonder made with pillowy gnocchi and that classic "beans and greens" magic we all love. Dried Italian herbs and Calabrian chili paste bring tons of flavor—and though it doesn't need cheese on top, anytime I have an opportunity to whip up a batch of my pourable vegan mozzarella, you...
