Chef’s Notes

Substitutions
In place of almond flour, try teff flour, tiger nut flour or sunflower seed meal.

In place of oat flour, try quinoa flour or chickpea flour.

In place of silken tofu, try plant-based yogurt.

Whole Food Sweetener
In place of maple syrup use date paste.

What to do with the leftover tofu
Silken tofu can be frozen for up to 3 months by placing it in a freezer-safe container. You may also consider blending it into creamy soups for a boost of protein and more creaminess, making it into a chocolate pudding by blending it with cacao powder and your favorite sweetener, or blending it into a sauce or a dressing. Search Food Revolution Network’s blog to discover a variety of ways to use Silken Tofu!

Storage
Store lemon drop cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days once baked, or freeze for up to 30 days.
