Ingredients

2 cups non-dairy milk

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 °F and line 16 muffin cups with silicone muffin liners or grease the cups with cooking spray. You can also make 8-9 jumbo muffins! Set the tins aside while you prepare the batter.
To make the vegan buttermilk, place 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into a liquid measuring cup. Next add your non-dairy milk up to the 2 cup line. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or using a mixing bowl and whisk, mix together the oil and sugar until combined. Add in aquafaba and mix again. Next add in the buttermilk and mix again. Add in the remaining ingredients one at a time, mixing briefly after each ingredient has been added.
Once the batter has just been combined, divide it evenly among the muffin cups.
Divide the batter among your prepared muffin cups.
Bake the muffins for 13-16 minutes for standard sized muffins or 17-20 minutes for jumbo muffins. They're done when they're slightly golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

This recipe was veganized and adapted from Pinch of Yum.

*Aquafaba is simply the liquid from a can of chickpeas. Whenever I'm cooking with chickpeas, I'll drain the liquid into a sealable jar and store it in the fridge for 3-4 days to use in baking.

**I like to use bran flakes instead of raisin bran as it contains less sugar. If you use bran flakes, you can always fold in a handful of raisins to the batter if desired.

Make sure the brand of cereal you are using is vegan if you want these muffins to be entirely vegan!
