October 10, 2007: My Healthiest, Vegan-Est Muffins Yet

written before nearly my postulate for mid-afternoon run snacks too of late I accept fallen dorsum into my bad, bad habit of buying chips or chocolate from the store close my office. In a bid to remedy this, I retrieved this recipe for full repast muffins. They were developed past times Jennifer McCann - the super-mum behind Vegan Lunch Box - amongst much case too mistake along the way, thus I was confident that the terminal recipe she shared amongst the Blue Planet would hold upward appetising every bit good every bit scrupulously healthy.

These muffins had the added payoff of requiring a few ingredients that accept been sitting neglected inwards my pantry for piece (spelt flour, blackstrap molasses, currants) too I managed to fourth dimension my training of them perfectly. Michael was away interstate for a yoke of days too thus I purchased the required bananas (plus a yoke extra) amongst impunity.

As I gear upward nearly blending upward the moisture ingredients, my expectations took a dive. I had forgotten but how potent blackstrap molasses actually is, too its acrid sense of savour swamped the bananas too apple tree juice inwards the mix. I wondered if I'd similar these muffins at all. But I needn't accept worried. The piffling mounds that popped neatly out of my muffin pan were perfectly edible! They're incredibly dense too filling without beingness leaden, amongst a lovely springy texture. The sense of savour is fairly nondescript, amongst the previously dominating molasses defeated past times estrus too flour to practice a pleasant, bland too faintly sweetness flavour. The currants too walnuts are vital for texture too taste, too I'm certain at that topographic point are many other dried fruit too nut combinations that would run well.

Jennifer's muffins are a far squall from those fist-sized puffs of white flour, saccharide too chocolate chips - too give cheers the Lord for that! Instead I accept a pocket sized bundle of goodness to force me past times 4:00 without a idea for chocolate. Would you lot believe I fifty-fifty converted Michael to them? I cheekily told him nearly the bananas inside alone later I won his approval. He has continued to munch on regardless.

My healthiest, vegan-est muffins yet

1 loving cup spelt flour
1/2 loving cup wholemeal flour
1/2 loving cup manifestly flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 ripe bananas, peeled
3 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
1/2 loving cup apple tree juice
2 teaspoons apple tree cider vinegar
1 zucchini, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 loving cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 loving cup currants

Set the oven to 190 degrees C too grease too muffin tin.

Sift together the flours, cinnamon, baking pulverization too baking soda into a bowl.

In a nutrient processor, blitz together the bananas, blackstrap molasses, apple tree juice too apple tree cider vinegar until smooth. Stir them into the sifted dry out ingredients, thus crease inwards the zucchini, walnuts too currants. My mixture was fine, but Jennifer suggests adding a fighting to a greater extent than apple tree juice if you lot postulate it to moisture all the flour.

Drop large tablespoons of the mixture into the muffin pan too bake for nearly twenty minutes, until the acme "springs dorsum to the touch".

Divide mixture evenly into the 12 lined muffin cups, too bake for twenty minutes, or until the acme springs dorsum to the touch. Remove muffins from the pan too cool on a wire rack.

Store inwards an airtight container or freeze inwards private freezer bags to describe out too pose into lunches every bit needed.
