Crispy Oat Tofu Nuggets

⁠This recipe was so much fun to develop!
I used GF Oats⁠ to create a crispy golden coating, which made the tofu nuggets have a beautiful texture & of course made them super tasty! ⁠

Paired with homemade dipping sauces (natural bbq or greek yoghurt & lemon dill) you are in for a healthy surprise!
