Peach Muffins with a Hint of Almond

Jacqueline

 

1/3 cup Mori-Nu light (1% fat) tofu
Egg Replacer for 3 eggs
3T. sunflower oil
1/2tsp. almond extract
1/2c. maple syrup
1/2c. unsweetened applesauce
1&1/2c. whole wheat pastry flour
3/4c. oat flour
1defatted soy flour
Dash of salt
2&1/2tsp. aluminum-free baking powder
3ripe peaches, peeled and cut into cubes
1/2tsp. nutmeg
3/4tsp. cinnamon

 

Preheat your oven to 375. In a blender or food processor, process the tofu, egg replacer, oil, maple syrup, almond extract and applesauce. In a large bowl, combine the flours, salt and baking powder. Make a well in the centre and fold in the wet ingredients, working until moistened. Toss the peach pieces in the nutmeg and cinnamon, and then fold into the batter (use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides, so that you don't lose any of the spices). Spoon batter into the cups of a 12-muffin pan (non-stick, or lined with muffin papers). Bake for 15 - 25 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick/cake tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool briefly before turning out onto a plate.
