Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan oven 180°C/Gas Mark 6, 15 minutes before baking. Line a muffin tin with muffin paper cases (you may need to bake in batches depending if you have a 6 or 12 muffin tin)
  2. Place the porridge oats with the flour, baking powder and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl and stir in the flaked almonds, apricots and the fresh blueberries.
  3. Chop the tofu into very small pieces and add to the bowl together with the honey, stir lightly.
  4. Add the eggs to the bowl, stir gently then add sufficient buttermilk or yogurt to give a soft dropping consistency. Take care not to over-mix.
  5. Spoon into the paper cases filling them two thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Serve warm. Sprinkle with a little icing sugar if liked.
