As mitsy moo left her muffin baking days behind her to take on the wonderous challenge of cupcakes I started my vegan baking with muffins.  My motivation was purely because I missed being able to have a coffee and muffin for brekkie…

I am not going to lie to you, my first efforts weren’t pretty.  Good thing I work with some hungry people that are always willing to give me feedback on my not normal baking!  I swear they would never know the difference if they weren’t previously informed.  I had to move from big to mini muffins quite swiftly for fear of expanding with all the tastings I simply had to do!

 

The book that has given me the best muffin recipes is vegan with a vengeance by Isa Chandra Moskowitz with a little help from her cat.  There is 6 muffin recipes in the book with flavours ranging from pumpkin to berry to chocolate.  Whatever flavour you want to make there is a recipe to adapt.  The book is also full of hints, tips (including low fat alternatives) and the authors useful thoughts and a lot more recipes.

This book has given me a good basic muffin baking skill set, a foundation which has allowed me to develop my own favours and preferred textures.
