Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces firm tofu
- 1 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup chickpea flour
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil.
Drain and press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture, and then crumble it into a large mixing bowl.
Add the nutritional yeast, almond milk, chickpea flour, turmeric powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and baking powder to the bowl with the crumbled tofu.
Mix all ingredients together thoroughly until you achieve a uniform, slightly thick batter-like consistency.
Roughly chop the fresh spinach leaves and gently fold them into the tofu mixture.
Evenly divide the mixture into the prepared muffin tin compartments, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the tops are firm and slightly golden.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the tin before using a knife to carefully remove each bite from the muffin tin.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
