Step 1

Drain your tofu. If desired, you can wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and gently press out excess liquid.

Step 2

Cut tofu into roughly ½” thick slices. You can use a biscuit cutter if you want to make round patties for vegan egg muffins.

Step 3

Whisk together dry ingredients in a wide dish, and dip tofu slices to coat all sides thoroughly. (Optionally, you can let the tofu sit in the dish for a few extra minutes on each side. This will make for a thicker chickpea flour coating and a little extra flavor.)

Step 4

Heat about a tablespoon of oil or vegan butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the tofu for 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Try not to move the tofu too much while cooking; the chickpea coating can flake off in the pan if it’s handled too much.
