RECIPE: Walnut and Raisin Bran Muffins (Vegan)

[Guest guest]

All right, everyone, don't laugh. I know I never bake (except bread) and I

always say we never eat anything 'cakey' in this house. But I was in a hurry for

bread for breakfast for the dh a couple of weeks ago and quickly found that I

could throw together muffins and have them hot and on the table in less than

half an hour (by which time he was back from walking the dogs). It was

quicker than quickbread, y'see ;=)

 

Since then I've played with the recipe a bit - well, a lot - This is our

preferred

fat-free version:

 

WALNUT AND RAISIN BRAN MUFFINS (VEGAN)

 

(Makes 6)

 

2/3 cup whole wheat flour

2/3 cup wheat bran

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp allspice

1/4 cup raisins

1/4 cup walnut pieces

2/3 cup soymilk (plain or vanilla-flavoured)

1/3 cup maple syrup (the real stuff, not the flavoured excuse for it)

1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce

 

Mix together dry ingredients. Mix syrup into soymilk and add apple sauce.

Add wet ingredients to dry. Stir until just mixed. Put into greased muffin tins

and bake at 400 F for 25 minutes.

 

Best,

 

Pat ;=) - who can now say no more that she never but never bakes anything

sweet.
