Plant-Based Dark Cherry Muffins

No muffin top here!

Hello, everyone! Today, I bring you something a bit different. Baking!! The cool thing is, these are actually healthy!  So, they won’t give you a muffin top!  See what I did there? Mr. FBBQ doesn’t understand my sense of humor.  I think I’m hilarious!

Sneak Peek!

Back to the recipe! We will need some fancy flours for this! Oat flour, Almond flour, and Sorghum flour. I have a bunch of different flours (vegan baking means buying such a variety of flour).  I decided to organize my flours.  I put them into mason jars and politely requested Mr. FBBQ make me labels with his label maker!  He was thrilled.

Back to the recipe. Again.  We will also need baking powder, unsweetened, unflavored plant milk (I opted for Almond Milk because that’s what I eat with my cereal), maple syrup (another product you will use in abundance in vegan baking), apple cider vinegar, flaxseed, pure vanilla extract, cherries, and (if you choose) some cane sugar.

In one bowl, mix up the flours and the baking powder.  In another bowl, mix up the apple cider vinegar. Maple syrup, plant milk, flaxseed, and vanilla.  Combine the two, mixing it well. Add the cherries. I went with frozen cherries, as fresh ones were not in season at this time.  The frozen ones worked just fine!  Sprinkle the top of the muffins with the cane sugar if you choose. Bake the muffins for about 30 minutes at 375 degrees.
