Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Silken tofu
• 0.75 cups Unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond or soy milk)
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (optional, for topping)
• 0.5 teaspoons Additional ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, blend the silken tofu, plant-based milk, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure light and fluffy muffins.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 6

If desired, mix the brown sugar and additional ground cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle the mixture on top of each muffin for extra flavor and texture.

Step 7

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
