Ingredients

½ cup warm water
2 tablespoons egg replacer
1 cup shredded vegan cheese
½ cup grated tofu
¼ cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ cup finely chopped onion
½ cup finely chopped pecans
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried sage
1 cup dry bread crumbs, or more as needed
¾ cup grape jelly
½ cup ketchup
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix warm water and egg replacer together in a large bowl. Stir in vegan cheese, tofu, nutritional yeast, salt, and garlic powder. Add onion, pecans, Italian seasoning, basil, and sage; mix until well combined. Stir in enough bread crumbs to reach a moist, crumbly texture.
Form mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls and place in an 8-inch baking pan.
Mix grape jelly, ketchup, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and oregano in a separate bowl. Pour over meatballs.
Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are firm, 35 to 40 minutes.
