Superbowl is a great opportunity to get together and enjoy some fun foods with friends and family!Although I’ve never seen any of the games and have no clue as to how its played, I surely enjoy snacking and having a great time,while the die hard fans are glued to the TV!My appetizer today is a great option for anyone looking for a healthier alternative to the traditional Buffalo wings.My Tofu Buffalo Bites couldn’t be easier and are great for any occasion.
I’d initially thought of using just the Buffalo Wing Sauce, but realized it was overly tangy and quite hot!Solution?Adding some sweet honey!Honey gives a nice glaze to the sauce and makes it stick to the Tofu giving it lots of flavor.A healthy appetizer that’s easy, delicious and you can swap the honey for agave or any liquid sweetener for your Vegan guests!

This was so delicious! Thank you so much for the great recipe. It was even better than I thought it was going to be. One pack of tofu really wasn’t enough!
Thankyou!So glad you liked it 🙂
Wow these look great. I’ve never tried Tofu but why not buffalo flavored!!!
We do buffalo tofu at work. Like the addition of honey!

Honestly, I’m not sure if I’ve ever eaten tofu, but I think if I’m to try it, this would be the way to go! I have a few vegetarian and vegan friends who would love this.
Tofu? Really?! These look like delicious beef or chicken bites! What a fabulous idea! I could definitely eat a few of these!

Don’t forget to swap the honey for another liquid sweetener when serving to vegans.
I have never cooked with tofu, but I could totally get on board with buffalo tofu! Yum

Don’t know if you saw my previous comment.
Bottomline: I want to thank you for creating a brilliant recipe for tofu. I love it plain but many others in my family like it dressed up. And you have produced the perfect solution =)
Thank you, Soni, for this brilliant recipe. I love tofu plain but others in my family need it dressed up. And you have created the perfect solution! Again, many thanks =)
These look so pretty and perfectly delicious!

Hi, Soni! Remember my sticky wings? My daughter’s roommate made THOSE with tofu after I posted them since they don’t eat meat. She said they were delicious. Apparently your two great minds think alike! I do believe your tofu Buffalo bites could convert many a non-tofu eater! They look wonderful!
Stacy recently posted..Little Filo Cheese Rolls for #SundaySupper
Very creative, now the vegetarians won’t feel left out while the rest of us eat our wings!
Susan recently posted..Bacon Kettle Corn #SundaySupper

I love the honey addition! What a great idea for a vegan appetizer…perfect for the Super Bowl!
Liz recently posted..Turkey Sliders with Roasted Tomatoes….#SundaySupper, #SuperBowl
Honey is not vegan, but i bet the tofu would be nice with maple syrup/agave instead.
I love that tofu takes on the flavour of whatever it is cooked with! These must be so spicy and delish!

So by accident you made the sauce? Awesome! Smart that you added honey to the sauce, makes totally sense. Send me some over Soni! 😉

This is genius! I cook with tofu for dinner once or twice a week, and I love this idea. The addition of honey to the recipe is a wonderful addition. I find that vegetarian guests are happy to be thought of and to have a flavorful and delicious option. Bravo!
