• 1 Tbl Corn Starch

• 1 Tbl Nutritional Yeast

• 1 tsp Baking Powder

For The Filling

Ingredients

• Olive Oil (1 tsp)

• Cherry Tomatoes, sliced

Method

For The Tofu "Egg" Mix

1. Start by removing the tofu from it's package and drain some of the excess liquid. Break or cut the tofu into large pieces and place in a food processor or blender along with the other ingredients. Now blend everything together until smooth and creamy.

2. Spoon out the mixture into bowl, then set aside and get ready to make the filling. See below to make.

For The Veggie Filling

1. Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat. When the pan is heated, add your olive oil.

2. When the oil is heated, toss in the red onions and stir until fragrant.

3. Once the onions and garlic are fragrant, add the tomatoes and arugula, then season with salt and black pepper.

4. While stirring, cook until the arugula is slightly wilted. Now, add vegan cheddar, and toss to combine. Remove from heat, and add the filling to the silken tofu, folding until the veggies are well incorporated.

For The Eggy Veggy Tofu Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 350°.

2. Lightly grease a nonstick muffin pan and scoop the batter into your prepared dish. (I topped each of mine with a sliced cherry tomato and parsley flakes)

3. Bake for approximately 25 mins or until the edges are lightly golden brown and separated from the pan.

4. Allow to cool completely before removing from the pan.

Tasty Tip: Bake these ahead of time and store them in a sealed container in the fridge. Ready to re-heat and grab on the go for a wholesome and delicious breakfast. I haven't tried freezing them before, but I don't see why it won't work. These are best reheated in a toaster/ oven on medium low heat.
