In another bowl whisk the tofu until smooth. Whisk in the apple juice, brown sugar, eggs, and peanut butter one at a time, whisking until each is well combined before adding the next.

Add the tofu mixture to the dry ingredients and stir well to combine. (By the way, this makes a GREAT arm workout)
