About These Recipes

The idea with these recipes is to show how easy it is to make delicious, healthy vegan food that is simple to prepare. I prefer using natural whole food ingredients and do use some tofu, vegan margarine, soy milk and tempeh, but avoid using many meat and dairy replacement foods.

Some recipes I’ve adapted to make them vegan, some I’ve made up and some I’ve discovered and just want to pass on. I’ll link back to the source of the recipe whenever it’s not my own.

The ingredients for these recipes should be available at your normal food store. It’s always good to buy organic wherever possible, for the environment and for your taste-buds!

Banana Bran Muffins

Ingredients

1/2 cup raisins or cranberries
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup bran
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons flax seed
6 tablespoons water
2 medium bananas, mashed
1/4 cup alternative milk
2/3 cup agave syrup
2 tablespoons canola oil


Instructions

Preheat oven to 200º celcius.

In a small bowl, cover the cup raisins or cranberries with plenty of water. Set aside to soak (to prevent them burning while cooking).

In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and bran.

In another bowl, mash the bananas and then add the milk, agave syrup, and canola oil.

In a separate small bowl, place the 2 tablespoons of flax meal. In the bowl the raisins/cranberries are soaking in, give a good stir. Then take 6 tablespoons of the raisin water and mix it in with the flax meal. Add this to the wet mixture and combine.

Add the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring until it just comes together. Fold in the raisins/cranberries. Spoon batter into a standard 12-cup muffin tin lined with paper muffin cases.

Bake at 200º celcius for about 20 minutes, or until tops are golden and a knife comes out clean.
