Tofu Double Chocolate Protein Doughnut
SERVINGS 3
Ingredients
- 7 oz tofu silken
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons agave
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 Vegan Shakeology
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened
Instructions
- Prepare the Tofu. Drain out excess liquid from the soft tofu. Using a whisk, mash the tofu up as fine as possible.
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, simply combine all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Mix well.
- Make the Dough. Add the mashed tofu to the dry ingredients, and use a spatula to mix and combine. At first, it might seem too crumbly but just continue mixing. After around 2 minutes, a dough should come together. Continue to incorporate the remaining dry powder into the dough until no powder is left.
- Shape into Donuts. On a well-floured surface, roll out the dough into a long baton. Divide the dough into four equal batons. Take each baton and roll them out into batons as well — don’t flour the ends. Stick the two ends of each baton together to create rings and shape each ring to the best of your ability to make them resemble donuts.
- Option 1: Fry the Donuts. In a medium-sized pan, heat up a generous amount of vegetable oil. Use a wooden utensil to test whether the oil is hot enough or not — if the wooden utensil starts bubbling immediately, the oil is ready. Fry the donuts for around 2 minutes on each side, or until crispy. You won’t need more than 4 minutes total — be sure not to overcook them! When they are ready, place them on a wire wrack to cool.
- Option 2: Bake the Donuts. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and carefully place the donuts on a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake for about 15 minutes, flipping half-way.
- Prepare the Chocolate Glaze. Melt the chocolate bars in a small mixing bowl — let the bowl float on top of hot water and melt slowly for best (more shiny) results.
- Glaze the Donuts. While the donuts are still warm, dip them in the chocolate glaze and place them back onto a wire wrack to set. Spoon all the remaining melted chocolate on top, if there are any left. Sprinkle the top with some Kosher salt. Enjoy warm.
