- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil or canola oil
- 1 medium lemon zested and juiced (about 3 teaspoons zest and 2 tablespoons juice)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 8 ounces silken tofu pureed until completely smooth (about ¾ cup)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries rinsed and well drained
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat for 1 to 2 minutes until well combined. With the mixer running, pour in the oil and then mix in the lemon juice, zest, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
Using a wooden spoon, add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in increments, alternating with the pureed tofu, mixing just until combined.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
