Being in a bit of a funk the past few days, I whipped up these cakey, sweet banana muffins to lift my spirits. In paying homage to the song Blue Monday by New Order, I tinted the batter blue to match the mood. Ingredients:
3 large, ripe bananas, mashed |
1/4 cup non-fat plain yogurt |
1 tsp lemon juice |
1 tbsp vanilla extract |
1/2 tsp banana extract |
2 tsp blue food colouring (optional) |
2 cups flour |
1 tsp baking powder |
3/4 tsp baking soda |
1/2 tsp salt |
1/2 cup softened butter |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
6 oz silken tofu, pureed |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F, grease or line muffin cups with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, combine bananas, yogurt, lemon juice, extracts and food colouring. Set aside.
3. In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
5. Add tofu, beating well to combine.
6. Beginning and ending with the dry mixture, alternate additions of flour and banana mixtures, beating ell after each addition.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until they test done.
8. Turn out immediately and cool completely on a wire rack.
