Extra Tips to Slay the Flavor

  • Add smoked paprika to tofu for a bolder, meatier bite—minus the meat, obviously.
  • Swap walnuts for pecans if you're feeling posh.
  • Chill cupcakes before eating for a denser, truffle-like texture.
  • Want extra glam? Frost with espresso coconut cream and a sprinkle of cocoa dust.
  • Serve with black coffee or your favorite alt milk latte for full vegan goddess energy.
