B and B Whole Wheat Muffins Vegan

 

Recipe By :Jan Wolff, Food Writer, New Jersey

Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Breads

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 cup firm tofu

(pressed into measuring cup)

2 overripe bananas

1 cup apple juice concentrate

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

 

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. In food processor or blender, blend

together tofu, bananas, apple juice, and vanilla. Blend until smooth. Add to dry

ingredients and stir until combined. Stir blueberries gently into batter. Fill

lightly oiled muffin pans three-quarters full with batter. Bake 20 to 25

minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out dry and clean. Cool 10

minutes; remove from pan. Yield: 12 muffins.

 

STORY: Making your own muffins is easy and improves their nutritional quality

and taste.

 

What makes these muffins so good? Blueberries and bananas lend their great

flavor and a wealth of vitamins and antioxidants. Whole-wheat pastry flour,

found in natural food stores, contains wheat germ and bran, the important parts

of the wheat that are removed in the process of making white flour.

 

Apple juice sweetens the muffins without the need for refined sugar.

 

Tofu lends its super soy nutrition and blends nicely into the batter,

eliminating the need for eggs and making the muffins cholesterol-free. The taste

of plain tofu is so mild, you can't detect it in the muffins.

 

If you prefer a lighter, sweeter muffin, use half unbleached white flour and add

a half cup of brown sugar.
