These muffins are Vegan Dad's recipe. They are very hearty and filling - but oh so soft. I like them a lot and love the bits of slightly crunchy apples in them, but I was a little disappointed that i could not taste the pumpkin in them. The bran kind of overwhelms the pumpkin. Even so, they were very good, so don't let that stop you from trying his recipe! They were so good that I am probably going to make them again this weekend.
I made a couple of small changes. Vegan Dad's recipe called for 3/4 cup wheat bran and 1/4 cup oat bran. I didn't have either, but I did have some Bob's Red Mill High Fiber Cereal which is mostly wheat bran and oat bran, so I used 1 cup of that (I wonder if that's what made them so tender?). I then had to add a couple more tablespoons of soy milk.
Congrats on post #23!
ReplyDeleteI much prefer a hearty muffin to a more-desserty like muffin. I think I would really, really like these!
That is exactly what i liked about them. They tasted like breakfast... not dessert. And even though they were hearty they were not overly dense like many bran muffins.
ReplyDeleteGood job on making all the VeganMoFo posts! I am hoping to make it to 20 even though I only have a few days left.
ReplyDeletei made those muffins this week and LOVED them! yeah, not too pumpkin-y, but yummy all the same. mine were ultra tender as well, so i'm not sure it was your cereal. hm.
ReplyDeleteGood to know. I was afraid to change anything (and I wasn't planning on buying more of that cereal after I use up the rest in the muffins). So thanks for saving me from thinking I needed the cereal.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm sure you'll make it to 20. You've got a few days!
ReplyDeleteMmmm. When I first saw Vegan Dad make those I really wanted to make them but ended up using my pumpkin for other recipes. Seeing your version reminded me again as they look hearty and like the perfect way to celebrate the season.
