Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup agave nectar
1/2 cup coconut oil, at room temperature
1/2 cup unsweetened plain almondmilk or other non-dairy beverage
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Mix-ins
Add 1 cup of any of the following:
dried fruit (raisins, tart cherries, chopped dates, thinly sliced apricots, etc.)
chopped fresh fruit (pears, apples, bananas, etc.)
vegan chocolate chips
Add 1 teaspoon of any of the following:
ground ginger
poppy seeds
chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, pistachios, pecans, etc.)
unsweetened coconut flakes
finely grated orange, lemon, lime or grapefruit zest
ground cinnamon
unsweetened cocoa powder
fresh or frozen (unthawed) blueberries
Method:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.; set aside. Combine agave nectar, oil, almondmilk, vinegar and vanilla in a small saucepan. Place over medium-low heat and heat, stirring often, just until oil is melted. Stir into flour mixture just until combined and then gently fold in mix-ins. Divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
Bake for 10 minutes and then lower heat to 350°F. Continue baking until muffins are golden brown and cooked through (a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins should come out clean), 8 to 10 minutes more. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Muffins will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
