When you are craving chocolate and baked goods, why not have a muffin with a healthier flare. These muffins are gluten-free, sugar-free and plant-based. I had read that tofu makes a muffin fluffier and less dry, so I decided to create a recipe to see how it worked. I used bananas and applesauce to sweeten it.
