Vegan Oat Bran Muffins
(adapted
from Bob’s Red Mill Baking Book)
Makes 12 muffins
1/4 cup unbleached white flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 rolled oats
3/4 cup unsweetened bran flakes
1
teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup rains
1/4 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/4 cup flax seeds
Use egg replacer to
substitute for one egg in recipe
2-1/2 tablespoons agave or maple syrup
3/4 cup
soy milk
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
Oil or butter a 12-cup muffin tin or line with muffin tin liners.
Combine the
flours, oats, bran, baking soda, baking powder, salt, raisins, apricots and flax
seeds in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the sweeteners (agave or maple
syrup) with egg replacer and oil until well blended. Then whisk in the dry
ingredients.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin and bake for 17
minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Let the muffins rest for minutes,
then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool.
(Eat with strawberry jam. Store any
leftovers in a plastic bag to keep them moist.)
