Vegan Muffins


2 c. flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 c. sugar
1 c. fruit (or other add-ins)

Blend all the dry ingredients with a spoon or fork and then add the fruit or add-ins. If you stir that into the batter while it is dry, the goodies stay suspended in the batter.

Add:
1/2 c. milk - soymilk or ricemilk. Ricemilk makes the outsides very tender and gives a nice little crisp to the tops.
1/2 c. applesauce
egg replacer for 2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Blend only until everything is good and moist. Don't stir too much.

Bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes til a toothpick comes out clean. Makes 1 dozen small muffins or 6 large ones. I use my silicone muffin cups for these.

I have used blueberries, apples, bananas, and carrots for these and had great results with all of them. I think you could also use strawberries, cranberries, chocolate chips, peaches, and maybe even mandarin oranges. They are always very moist and delicious.

It's Sunday afternoon and it is pouring cats and dogs outside, so I am going to try your recipe for chocolate chip muffins. We will have themn with hot tea on a cold rainy day.

OK Vicki, They are in the oven. I changed the recipe as follows: Used Vanilla Lite Soy Milk, 1/2 cup of Blue Agave, 1 cup frozen blueberries, 1/4 cup pecan chips. I sprinkled turbinado sugar on top. It made 9 good sized muffins. I'll let you know how they turn out. Jack

We had our blueberry, pecan muffins and Pam said that she only likes the cinnamon rolls just a little bit better, but this is her second favorite dessert.

Great job Vicki!!!
