A close-up of round, golden-brown baked snacks with a crumbly, yellowish filling, arranged on a green plate; one snack is broken open to show the inside.

I created these when I wanted a fun, practical way to eat scrambled tofu. I’ve shared them at picnics and birthdays, and they’ve become a way for me to express care for my friends.
