Instructions
Preheat the oven to 160C. Line the muffin pan with liners. I got 10 muffins with the above measurement.
Measure all the ingredients and keep them ready at room temperature.
In a blender, take silken tofu, add bananas to it and ½ cup of water to it and blend it smooth.
In a wide bowl, take flour, baking powder and baking soda, whisk well to get a uniform flour mix.
To this flour mix, add chopped pecans and mix well.
Take blended tofu and banana liquid to a wide bowl, add sugar to this and mix well for the sugar to dissolve.
To this liquid now add oil and vanilla essence, whisk again to get a smooth liquid.
Now add the dry flour mix to this liquid in batches. I added ½ cup at a time and used a whisk to get a smooth batter
After adding all the flour, use a spatula and mix well without leaving any dry flour.
Divide the batter into the lined muffin pan. I got 10 muffins, I filled the rest of the 2 holes with water for even baking. Place 1 whole pecan on top each of the muffins.
Bake the muffins in a preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the muffin comes out clean.
Oven temperature and baking time varies from oven to oven. So keep an eye on the muffins after 15 minutes. Mine were done at 18 minutes.
Once done, remove the muffin pan from the oven. Let the muffins sit in the pan for 5 minutes.
Remove them carefully onto a wire rack and let it cool down. Enjoy these luscious blueberry muffins warm.
Store & Serve
Freshly baked muffins stays good on the kitchen counter for a day or two. If storing for more days, I prefer refrigerating them in an air-tight container.
If serving muffins from the refrigerator, i recommend reheating them in the microwave for 20 seconds and serve warm.
