Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: Roughly 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1-454 g block firm tofu
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp white miso paste
- 5 oz melted coconut oil (refined/deodorized)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
- Unsweetened soy milk optional, as needed to blend
Instructions
- Place tofu, nutritional yeast, miso, coconut oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, as well as your flavouring of choice (onion powder, garlic powder, dried dill, strawberries, blueberry jam, etc) in a blender or food processor and puree until very smooth, scraping down the sides.
- It can get quite thick, so you will need to help it along with a damper or wooden spoon. This may take some time, let it blend. If too thick, use unsweetened soy milk to blender to make it less thick.
- Taste and salt as needed.
- Place tofu mixture into a sealable Tupperware or bowl. Cover and place in the fridge as it will thicken in fridge.
- Spread onto your favourite bagels, or crackers or use in recipes.
