Ingredients (serves 3)
- Chickpea flour (gram flour)100 g
- Tofu (firm)150 g
- Spinach60 g
- Bell pepper100 g
- Onion50 g
- Rapeseed / sunflower oil10 g
Also: Water (~150 ml), 1 tsp baking powder, turmeric, salt, pepper
Method
- Heat the oven to 190 °C (about 10 min). Finely chop the onion and pepper and chop the spinach. Lightly grease the muffin cups with some of the oil, or use silicone ones.
- In a bowl, whisk 100 g chickpea flour with ~150 ml water, the rest of the oil, 1 tsp baking powder, turmeric, salt and pepper until there are no lumps.
- Crumble the tofu (150 g) with your fingers and stir it into the batter along with the veg.
- Divide the mixture between 6 cups and bake at 190 °C for 25 min, until the tops are golden and a toothpick pushed into the middle comes out dry.
- Let them stand for 5 min and take them out of the cups. Once cool, keep in the fridge in a closed container.
Tips
- Grease the cups with oil or use silicone ones – the muffins will pop right out.
- Keeps for 4 days in the fridge, a month in the freezer.
- Coeliac? Choose flour labelled ‘gluten-free’.
- Want it hotter? A pinch of chilli in the batter.
