I found a good basic muffin recipe and modified it to make a great one. It's posted here. The first couple of times I made them, I used fresh blueberries from the farmers market. Then I realized that I could use the base recipe and make all kinds of muffins! Last week, we used 1 cup of chopped apples and added some cinnamon to the recipe. I also made a batch using a cup of mashed banana and a few chopped walnuts. They were delicious and stayed moist for several days in a ziploc bag. They really made some pretty good "road food" for our trip to Chattanooga.
Today, I used a cup of shredded carrots, some raisins and a few chopped walnuts - along with a teaspoon of cinnamon. They were awesome. John loved them and he doesn't like carrot cake.
I can imagine using zucchini and spices for a batch. . . and how about some fresh peaches . . . or maybe some strawberries . . . or adding some cocoa and some vegan chocolate chips? John thinks we could use some mandarin oranges and maybe add some orange zest. Lots of possibilities with this easy recipe. Hope you enjoy it! :)
