The vegan muffins are then complimented by the tartness of blueberries and just the right ratio of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour. Lemon juice enhances flavor while allowing the beet purée to retain its vibrant reddish color during baking. This is because acids reduce the oxidation of plant-based compounds called anthocyanins, which are responsible for the red color in foods like beets and raspberries. ]]> Sun, 09 Mar 2008 21:05:49 -0400 150 2008-03-09 3 http://www.veganbaking.net/cookies/729-chewy-oatmeal-raisin-cookies http://www.veganbaking.net/cookies/729-chewy-oatmeal-raisin-cookies My grandmother used to make the best cookies I've ever tasted. They were oatmeal raisin cookies that had a barely crisp exterior that gave way to a chewy, rich center that would release the most amazing oatmeal flavor. I asked her for the recipe once and she said she just made them by heart. How did people ever do that? It's amazing to me when something as exact as baking can be done without a recipe and be consistently amazing every time. ]]> Sat, 02 Apr 2011 02:19:14 -0400 729 2011-04-02 5 http://www.veganbaking.net/breads/enriched-breads/muffins/98-date-spice-muffins-or-bread http://www.veganbaking.net/breads/enriched-breads/muffins/98-date-spice-muffins-or-bread This 100% fruit sweetened Date Spice Muffin recipe features the satisfying malty flavor of medjool dates puréed with cinnamon, ginger and a touch of vanilla extract.

We know this because the two people allegedly collided exclaiming, “hey you're chocolate's in my peanut butter!” “My peanut butter's in your chocolate!” This has been documented as a true occurrence because I saw it in a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup commercial once. I'm so thankful they had TV camera's rolling to get that on film. But what was up with the peanut butter in those things? It always tasted like it was the leftover peanut butter at the factory that was too low quality to actually be put in jars. And the chocolate seemed like typical mass produced American chocolate fare, over-sweetened and chalky which barely qualifies as chocolate to this chocolate snob.

With this Peanut Butter Bomb recipe I captured the essence of fine, natural peanut butter, combined it with some lightly caramelized sugar and Regular Vegan Butter or margarine, then covered it in a dark chocolate exterior, completing an irresistible vegan chocolate bonbon. ]]> Sun, 14 Feb 2010 02:21:18 -0500 501 2010-02-14 http://www.veganbaking.net/cookies/720-power-puffs http://www.veganbaking.net/cookies/720-power-puffs These power puffs are so puff-tastic! I highly recommend them. I have never used millet before and I will certainly be using it more often. It’s fluffy, light and has more protein than puffed rice. These little power puffs are a perfect snack with a hot cuppa joe. You can easily cut this recipe in half if you aren’t trying to feed an army. These are so good that my husband brought them to his Tai Chi class this morning and vanished with a request for more next week…I highly suggest you give these a whirl. ]]> Sat, 12 Mar 2011 23:25:09 -0500 720 2011-03-12 5 http://www.veganbaking.net/pastries/676-pumpkin-cinnamon-rolls-with-rum-spice-icing http://www.veganbaking.net/pastries/676-pumpkin-cinnamon-rolls-with-rum-spice-icing This Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll recipe takes every opportunity to pack itself with pumpkin and then enhance it with a delicate balance of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and cloves. Barley malt syrup can be a little tough to find but it's an essential flavor booster that puts the pump in pumpkin for these vegan cinnamon rolls. Rum Spice Icing is literally icing on the cake.

Pecans add flavor complexity and a delightful crunch. These vegan muffins are equally good with baked sweet potato purée substituted for the pumpkin as well. ]]> Mon, 03 Mar 2008 06:06:01 -0500 102 2008-03-03 5 http://www.veganbaking.net/pastries/203-sticky-cinnamon-rolls http://www.veganbaking.net/pastries/203-sticky-cinnamon-rolls This Sticky Cinnamon Roll recipe features brown sugar, maple syrup and just the right amount of cinnamon, making them moist and chewy.
