Ingredients
- 14 ounces firm tofu
- 1 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup chickpea flour
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil.
Step 2
Drain and press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture, and then crumble it into a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add the nutritional yeast, almond milk, chickpea flour, turmeric powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and baking powder to the bowl with the crumbled tofu.
Step 4
Mix all ingredients together thoroughly until you achieve a uniform, slightly thick batter-like consistency.
Step 5
Roughly chop the fresh spinach leaves and gently fold them into the tofu mixture.
Step 6
Evenly divide the mixture into the prepared muffin tin compartments, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the tops are firm and slightly golden.
Step 8
Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the tin before using a knife to carefully remove each bite from the muffin tin.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
