Description
While I don’t follow a specific diet, I am drawn toward plant-based options. Furthermore I follow a balanced diet and eat a wholesome diet focused on real food. When Joanne suggested if I wanted to have some blueberry muffins baked, I promptly replies YESSSSS and was already a huge fan. Truth be told, I had no idea the muffins were vegan or plant based, I am particularly fuzzy about organic and wholesome ingredients, and when she used my fresh, cold-pressed sunflower seed oil, I was SUPER STOCKED! It’s exciting to share this recipe with like-minded folks that choose to source fresh and wholesome ingredients to make their favorite dishes.
Variations That Are So Manfred
Yes, I like to add a raspberry or strawberry here and there. Specially when we have friends with kids coming over - Always fun when they discover the "surprise-muffin" which contains some extra fruit and sometimes chocolate chips. (If I get them passed Joanne's back and manage to throw them into the muffin-tin before she notices;-)
- Add different fruit or fruit pieces
- Chocolate chips
- Tangerine or other Citrus Fruit (also works well with candied ginger)
- Indulge with coconut whipping cream
