Here's a Tip!

When gliadin and glutenin proteins join together with the aid of moisture they form gluten. The more gluten in your flour, the more water required to hydrate these proteins into gluten. This is why bread flour requires more water than cake flour.

Ginger and pears come together to compliment each other in these tasty muffins.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon non-aluminum baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 325F (163C).  Peel and core about 2 ½ medium sized pears and blend or process into 1 ¼ cup of pear puree.  After 1 ¼ cup puree has been measured, discard the excess before adding the measured amount back to the food processor or blender.  Add the sugar, canola oil, non-dairy milk, ginger, lemon juice and salt and process until smooth.  Add the Eggless Binder Powder and and process until smooth.

I posted it on my work's website as a blog entry! Everyone at work loved the muffins and my housemates quite enjoyed the loaf version with a cup of tea!

I'm a huge fan of sprouted grains because they're more flavorful and contain more nutrients than traditional ground grains. If you enjoy this bread you should consider doubling the recipe so you can make twice the loaves with the same effort the next time you make it.

Veganbaking.net Interviews Dan From Liz Lovely
I recently had a cookie at Whole Foods that knocked my socks off. I enjoyed the flavor, the packaging and since I used to own and operate a vegan organic cookie company myself, I was naturally intrigued. Enter Liz Lovely. I had the pleasure of asking Dan from Liz Lovely some questions to find out what makes them tick.

Veganbaking.net: Please describe your business.

Dan: Liz Lovely was founded by Liz and Dan Holtz (front left & right) to bring you cookies with a higher purpose. We call it Baking a Difference™.
