Whole Wheat Double-Apple Cinnamon Muffins


Whole Wheat Double-Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Completely Vegan!


Yum

We had a few apples laying around just asking to be baked into perfectly delicious apple-cinnamon muffins (well, not literally...that would be creepy-but very much in the spirit of Halloween).  It occurred to me that I could use some applesauce to replace the eggs (hence the double in the name) making them both extra apple-y AND vegan!

Makes: 24 regular sized muffins OR 40 mini muffins

Ingredients:

  • 1 scant cup unsweetened soy milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 TBSP apple cider vinegar (or other vinegar or lemon juice)
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1/4 cup applesauce (home made or store bought is fine, just make sure it is unsweetened) 
  • 2 cups diced apples (about 2 large apples)

 

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Mix your "milk" of choice with the vinegar, set aside.
  3. Grease muffin cups, or line with cute paper liners (I had some cute Halloween ones laying around).
  4. Combine your dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl: flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda.  Mix thoroughly. 
  5. Whisk together your wet ingredients in a small mixing bowl: the milk (it will have thickened by now), oil, and applesauce.  
  6. When your wet ingredients are well mixed, pour the wet on top of the dry.  Stir together until just combined.
  7. Stir in your diced apples.
  8. Spoon the mixture into your muffin cups.  Bake for 10-12 minutes for mini muffins, and 16-18 minutes for the full size (or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean).
  9. Allow your finished muffins to rest about 10 minutes (or they will stick to the paper).
Warning: toddlers may come and steal your muffins!

Lentil-Zucchini Buritos

Lentil-Zucchini Burritos Yum The other night I was craving Mexican-y food, but I absolutely did not want black beans.  I decided to use lentils as the protein, sauteed up with some onions and zucchini.  It was amazing! In frying pan, you simply saute up all the ingredients, then simply layer into your burrito and enjoy.  It's really easy to make.  If you make the lentils ahead of time, this would make a really nice meal to make in a short amount of time. I topped my burrito with fresh tomatoes and red onions.  You could finish yours off with whatever you happen to have on hand: salsa, guacamole, scallions, fresh cucumbers, etc. Serves: 6 Ingredients: 1 TBSP olive oil 1 onion, chopped 1 zucchini, quartered & sliced 2 garlic cloves, minced 3 cups cooked lentils 1/2 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp oregano 1/4 tsp parsley 1/8 tsp cayenne pinch of salt Directions: In a saute pan heat up your oil over medium heat.  Add the onions and sau

Oatmeal-Raisin Muffins (Vegan & Gluten Free)

Oatmeal-Raisin Muffins (Vegan and Gluten Free) I definitely enjoy cooking with oatmeal.  I already used it to make pancakes and veggie burgers , so I decided to make a muffin next!  It's cheap, it's easy, and it's healthy.  What's not to love? These muffins are tender, sweet (but not too sweet), and are packed with amazing flavors like cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. They make a very portable breakfast or snack too! Ground chia seeds act as the binder in this recipe.  To grind the seeds, simply place them in a coffee grinder (one dedicated for spices and seeds would be best) and blend until you basically have a flour.  Hydrate them in warm water and allow to sit for five minutes. This recipe also requires you to make your own plant based buttermilk.  The good news is that it's super easy to do.  Pour the soy milk right into your medium mixing bowl.  Stir in the vinegar.  Let it sit for about five minutes.  By the time you are ready to assemble th
