Time 50m

Yield 30 meatballs, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups bread, torn into small pieces
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup oats, quick-cooking
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
2 teaspoons vegan chicken seasoning (Chicknish, Butler's Chick-Style, or other)
16 ounces extra firm tofu
1/2 cup water (if needed)
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Mix first 4 ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Add seasonings and mix until combined.
  • Drain tofu and crumble with hands into the meatball mixture, mix.
  • Add soy sauce and mix until all ingredients are incorporated.
  • With clean hands, roll about a tablespoon's worth of mixture into a ball. If it is too dry to stick together, up to 1/2 cup water can be added. (I don't ever have to add water.).
  • Continue to roll mixture into balls, and place onto a greased baking sheet, an inch or two apart. I use a cookie dough scoop to get mine a uniform size.
  • Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes (depending on size), until nicely browned.
  • Cool and transfer to container or bag for freezing, or serve hot as desired.
  • (These work well as appetizers, or as part of a main dish with barbecue sauce, brown gravy, vegan stroganoff sauce, or Asian sauces.).

These meatballs were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less chili powder next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meatballs turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

I found these meatballs to be a bit too dense. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

These meatballs were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more herbs and spices next time.

These tofu walnut meatballs were a hit with my family! They were easy to make and had a great flavor. I especially liked the combination of textures between the tofu and the walnuts.
