Description

These hearty corn muffins are a delightful twist on traditional baking, using silken tofu to create a tender crumb without any dairy or eggs. The combination of cornmeal and whole wheat pastry flour offers a perfect balance of texture and nutrition, while a simple blend of water and salt highlights the natural sweetness of the corn. Perfect for a quick breakfast, a side dish for BBQ, or a comforting snack, these muffins boast a wonderful golden crust achieved by baking in a preheated pan. They are easy to make, requiring just a few pantry staples, and serve as a delicious, wholesome option for plant-based diets.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC). Place an oiled muffin tin or cast iron skillet in the oven to heat up while you prepare the batter, which helps create a wonderful crust.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal (or corn flour) and the whole wheat pastry flour until well combined.
  3. Crumble the soft tofu into the container of a blender.
  4. Carefully add the boiled water and salt to the tofu in the blender. Secure the lid tightly.
  5. Blend the mixture using just a few pulses until it is mostly smooth but still slightly chunky. Be cautious not to over-blend, and ensure your blender is large enough to handle the hot liquid safely.
  6. Immediately pour the hot tofu mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven.
  8. Spoon the batter into the hot muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  9. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
