MATERIALS
2/3 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup berries
PROCEDURE
1. Preheat the oven to 350. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with baking cups.
2. In a large measuring cup, use a fork to vigorously mix together the milk, flaxseeds, and vinegar for about a minute or until it appears foamy.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Add milk mixture, applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Mix just until flour is incorporated (do not over mix).
5. Fold in berries. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full and bake 22-26 minutes.
THE RUNDOWN
Not as sweet, but way healthier than the ones you get at a grocery store. These will taste great right after the challenge and should do the trick if you get a muffin craving.
