Making vegan breakfast muffins


Look! I made my first Veganomicon recipe. I made this Almond Quinoa Muffin recipe because, as you know, I'm on a quest to find winning breakfast muffins.


Check out the ingredient list, and you'll see why I made these. The recipe calls for cooked quinoa. Woah. Also, I love apricots.

The final product was a little bland, but I think I can work with it. Since my success with the peach muffins, I'm convinced that cooking with fresh fruit is the way to go.

I should note that I used almond milk instead of soy milk. Also, almond meal is expensive!

I really love muffins, but I didn't make them for the longest time until last week, when I had 6 small bruised apples. I made Smitten Kitchen's whole wheat apple muffins, and they were pretty good!

I prefer making my own muffins because they aren't too big. When I buy muffins they're always the these-might-be-1000-calories size. Not that I count calories...but, you know...

Hi Erin, I like your website! I wanted to share a discovery I made last night...Quinoa and walnuts! A delicious combination! I am thinking Quinoa/walnut burgers or course quinoa/walnut muffins. I think that both are very different; I think that both have a lot of potential :)

Thanks Andrea! Quinoa and walnuts sounds like a wonderful combo, but I've recently discovered that I'm allergic to walnuts. Boo!
