Peanut Butter Carob Chip Muffins

Recipe adapted from The Nest

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup pure maple syrup

1/2 package soft silken tofu

1/2 cup peanut butter

3 tablespoons coconut milk (You could totally use cow's milk)

1 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 cup carob chips (or chocolate chips)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line 12 muffin cups with liners or spray with cooking spray.

Into a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside. In a blender, combine the maple syrup, tofu, peanut butter, milk, and vanilla and process until smooth. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until blended. Stir in the carob chips.

Transfer the batter into the prepared muffin cups and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out dry.
