Ingredients

• 200 grams Firm tofu
• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 120 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 60 milliliters Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 100 grams Chocolate chips
• 50 grams Pine nuts
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well with oil.

Step 2

Drain the firm tofu and pat it dry with a clean towel. Blend it in a food processor or blender until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended tofu, almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips and pine nuts using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
