  • Freezable
  • Vegetarian
  • Vegan
  • High-protein
  • Lower-carbohydrate

Ingredients

Serves: 6

  • 600g Cauldron tofu, drained
  • 260ml unsweetened soya milk
  • 80g nutritional yeast flakes
  • 80g cornflour
  • 100g gram (chickpea) flour
  • 2 tsp ground onion powder
  • 2 tsp ground garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 small red pepper, diced
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 2 large handfuls spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 large handful vegan cheese (optional)

Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan.

Step 2

Blend the tofu, milk, nutritional yeast, cornflour, gram flour, onion, garlic, and turmeric, season lightly with salt and pepper (or black salt if you have any).

Step 3

Heat the oil in a small non-stick frying pan, over medium heat. Fry the pepper, onion, tomato, and spinach for 5mins, or until softened and wilted.

Step 4

Lightly oil non-stick muffin tins or use baking cases.

Step 5

Mix the vegetables with the batter and pour into 12 of the muffin tin holes. Sprinkle evenly with cheese, if using.

Step 6

Bake for 45-55 mins. Remove one muffin and cut it in half to see if it’s cooked. If not, continue to cook until the tofu has ‘set’.

Step 7

Allow to cool (this also helps the muffins ‘set’) and serve with your favourite side salad.
