i just tried to make some vegan muffins. it was an absolute disaster.
i wanted some not-terribly-sweet vegan apple bran muffins. working with a few recipe books and the mighty interweb, i found all sorts of recipes - vegan bran muffins, vegan apple carrot muffins, dairified bran muffins. despite my best google searches, nothing quite fit. but hey, i’m creative.
i decided to combine aspects from several recipes and came up with my own super recipe. i even incorporated a recipe for “flax eggs”: blending flax and water results in a goopy egg-like mixture that allegedly works well as a binder in baked goods.
things went well until i turned on the oven. i guess i had it on the grill setting, so when i put the muffins in, the tops burned within minutes. this was sad because i put cute little apple bits on top of each muffin, thinking it would be really tasty to have a mini baked apple on top of the muffin. but mostly they just went black.
things went downhill from there. in the end, the muffins didn’t really bake in the middle. i don’t know if it was the flax eggs or the grill debacle or what. the muffins also didn’t rise very much.
i’ve felt kind of “off” ever since this fiasco… i want my muffins dammit. but i’ve grown impatient and flowly and i know if i try to cook muffins now they’ll lack the love.
so now what?
