Tofu Breakfast Muffins
Ingredients:
– 1 block firm tofu, drained and crumbled
– 1 cup chopped mixed vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, etc.)
– 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Cooking spray or oil for greasing the muffin tin
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or oil. This will prevent the muffins from sticking.
2. In a large bowl, combine the crumbled tofu, chopped vegetables, cherry tomatoes, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should be evenly seasoned with a vibrant yellow color from the turmeric.
3. Spoon the tofu and vegetable mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup almost to the top. Press down gently to pack the mixture into each muffin cup.
4. Bake the tofu breakfast muffins in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until set and slightly golden on top. You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin – it should come out clean when they’re ready.
5. Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Use a butter knife to loosen the edges if needed.
6. Serve the Tofu Breakfast Muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with a side of fresh fruit, avocado slices, or a dollop of vegan sour cream for extra decadence.
These Tofu Breakfast Muffins are not only delicious and satisfying but also a great make-ahead option for busy mornings. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the microwave for a quick and convenient breakfast on the fly!
