⭐ Silken Tofu (with lemon juice) (Best Dairy-Free Option)
1 cup silken tofu + 1 tablespoon lemon juice per 1 cup Greek yogurt Quick tip: Vegan option that mimics moisture but lacks natural dairy tang and fat, resulting in denser doughnuts.
Silken tofu provides moisture and protein but lacks fat and acidity. Adding lemon juice introduces acidity to help with leavening and flavor balance. This substitute is useful for vegan or dairy-free doughnuts.
Blend tofu until completely smooth, then mix in lemon juice. Expect a batter that is slightly less rich and potentially denser.
Doughnuts will be less tender and have a milder flavor, with a slightly heavier texture compared to those made with Greek yogurt.
