Ingredients

  • cups all purpose flour 
  • tablespoon double-acting baking powder 
  • 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter unsalted unsweetened (I used and )
  • cup maple syrup 
  • tablespoons milk 2% (I used )
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt 
  • 0.5 cup semi chocolate chips 
  • 0.7 cup silken tofu soft (See My Notes #1)
  • teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • tablespoons water (See My Notes #2)

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • oven
  • wire rack
  • toothpicks
  • muffin tray

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350/180C for 15 mins. Lightly grease and line the muffin tin with paper liners. Also spray the paper liners lightly so that you can peel off the cupcakes easily.In a large bowl sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.Blend together all the wet ingredients except water.
  2. Pour the wet mixture to the flour and combine until just moistened. Stir in the chocolate chips too. If you feel that the batter is too tight add 1 to 2 tablespoons water.Fill each muffin cup 2/3rds full.
  3. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. I checked after 16 minutes but the cupcakes were not done; the batter was sticking to the toothpick. I baked for another 4 minutes and it came out clean.Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack. Do not leave it in the tin for more than 5 minutes because the paper liner will start giving out moisture and the muffins will become soggy.
