These particular muffins I made up on a whim. Looking through my bare cupboard, I noticed I had leftover walnuts and a giant bag of raisins. Some other suggestions: chocolate chips, blueberries, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of flour
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/3 cup of apple sauce
- 1/4 tsp of nutmeg
- 1tsp of baking soda
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of flax seed (if you like it)
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup of chopped up walnuts
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 1/2 cup of almond milk
Mix all the dry ingredients together first. Add in the wet ingredients. Stir it all together.
Take a muffin pan and lightly spray butter (or vegan margarine) so that they won't stick. Pour your batter into the pan and for decoration throw a few raisins or walnuts on the tops. So pretty!
Put them into the oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until lightly brown and cooked all the way through. Take them out of the oven and let them cool on the counter for 15minutes.
TIPS: What can you use instead of eggs? There are numerous egg 'replacers' you can use when baking vegan food. My favourite is applesauce because it gives the batter a good texture. Bananas are another good option. A third option is flax seed, although this is a little harder to make/perfect. If you grind about 1 tablespoon of flax seed with 1/3 tablespoon of water in a coffee grinder, it will release the seed oils and create the perfect egg replacer. I believe 1 tablespoon is the equivalent of one and a half eggs.
Enjoy
