Happiness Muffins!

Another great breakfast for the little dude and me. My favorite part of this is that it's a great base (like the banana bread) and can be mixed and matched however you'd like.

Silly title I know but, it does make me super happy to have a healthy, protein, omega rich muffin. By adding raisins you can grab some vitamin B, calcium, potassium and iron; all great beneficial vitamins and nutrients especially for us veggies and vegans!

This is also super easy and takes 15 minutes to whip up!

Ingredients:

• 1/4 refined coconut oil, melted plus more for greasing muffin tin
  
• 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  
• 1/2 cup sucanat
  
• 1 Tbl Ener-G egg replacer (or one egg)
  
• 2 tsp baking powder
  
• 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  
• 1 1/4 cup rice milk (or whatever "milk" you use)
  
• 1 tsp vanilla
  
• 1 cup fresh or dried fruit, diced or chunked if necessary
  
• 1/2 cups chopped nuts (optional)

For Zucchini Raisin Muffins:

Combine shredded Zucchini and raisinis for the fruit and omit the nuts. Add 1t cinnamon and 1/2t ground ginger to the dry ingredients. (I used 1 1/2 shredded zucchini and 1/3 of a large carrot shredded. I put in a hanful of golden raisins and 1/2c chopped walnuts.)

Preparation:

Heat oven to 375. Grease muffin tin or use liners.
In a large bowl combine dry ingredients, including egg replacer if using. In a medium bowl, whisk rice milk, oil, and vanilla. Add milk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until barely combined. Stir in fruit and nuts. Transfer to muffin tin. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
