    Vegan Morning Glory Muffins

    Vegan Morning Glory Muffins

    As you read this post, Brett and I will be carving our way through the snow on snowboards....well, I hope so. It may be more like sliding down on our bums, but who knows!

    Brett and I have been wanting to go snowboarding together ever since we got married. Living in Florida made that goal a little bit more difficult, but when we moved to New York we knew we needed to make it happen. I haven't snowboarded in years and Brett has never snowboarded in his life so it's going to be quite an adventure! I'm hoping I'll be able to pick up back up quickly and that Brett will enjoy his first time. It seems like the first day of snowboarding for most people can be frustrating and painful, so I'm praying Brett's athleticism will make his first time easier.

    I feel like every time in the past that I've gone snowboarding, someone in my group has gotten hurt. I'm talking broken bones/concussions/torn ligaments kinda hurt.  In fact, our good friend here in New York tore her ACL just a couple months ago skiing.

    Gulp.

    Thank goodness it's a tiny mountain and that we're not taking our chances at Vail!

    I'll let you know how the whole snowboarding thing goes in my next post. Until then, enjoy the recipe for these delicious, Vegan Morning Glory Muffins! If you've been reading along, then you'll know I'm on a sneak-veggies-into-everything kick. And guess what?! I did it with these muffins too! Plus there's tons of other delicious goodies in these like apple, walnuts and raisins. Yum!

    I'm still at the point where I'm never sure if the recipes I experiment with are good or not. I typically think everything tastes good, but I'm learning to have more of a critical mindset when it comes to recipe testing. I wasn't too sure about these muffins, but when Brett ate one and exclaimed, "Oh man, these are good!" I knew that they were post worthy:)

    I hope you enjoy these Vegan Morning Glory Muffins as much as we did!

      Hi! Can I use spelt flour instead of whole wheat flour?

      Hi,
      Can you use chia instead of flax to make the egg sub? Chia seeds instead?
      Also, didn't know if you could just use whole wheat flour instead of the oat flour?

        I haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it would work just as well! And you should also be able to swap the oat flour for whole wheat flour, you just might have to add more liquid to compensate. I hope they work out for you Jenn!

      FAITH. I am so happy you posted these because they are THE best muffins I've ever made - no joke!! Of course I made a few changes with what I had on hand (blogger probs;) and I was wondering if I can post the recipe I made to my blog with a link to yours of course!

      Faith, these look so good!
      Morning glory muffins have always sounded awesome and so healthy and I've wanted to make them in the past, but all the recipes I've found have been loaded with oil. I haven't gotten the chance to experiment with lightening them up yet, so these look amazing!

        Thanks Sydni! It was so fun, but seriously freezing! I had to take breaks more than I wanted because my face felt frostbitten. You guys made the right choice in staying back I think. Hopefully you guys can go soon though! That's awesome you and Whit have a sport you enjoy doing together:)

      Have a great time snowboarding!! I used to go all the time, but I haven't gone for a few years! In fact, one of the last times I went I broke my wrist so I got a little scared 🙂

      These look awesome!! I've been wanting to bake something and I might try these out. I bet the oat flour gives them a great taste! And I bet they'd be even better with a little almond butter spread on to them 😀

        It was a great day Leigha...although a bit nippy:) I can so relate to your story. I'm scared to water tub now from an injury when I was younger. Such a bummer when things we love become less enjoyable because of accidents. And you're so right about the almond butter! That's exactly how I ate these muffins most of the time!

      I HAVE to get some of these silicon cupcake wrappers they look so pretty and probably don't stick to things the way the paper ones do! Where did you get them?
