Vegan muffins – basic recipe for lazy people

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 250 g flour
• 150 g sugar
• 3 tbsp margarine, vegan, e.g. E.g. sunflower margarine
• 3 tbsp flaxseed, ground
• 5 tbsp applesauce or 2 finely grated apples
• 4 drops of bitter almond oil, optional

• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 jar of mineral water

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

always fluffy and juicy, quick and almost no washing up

Simply place all ingredients, except the water, into a mixing bowl and mix with a spoon. Then gradually add the water to create a dough that is rather chewy but not too firm. The dough shouldn’t immediately run off the spoon, but should release quickly with a little flex. Pour the batter into a muffin tin lined with 12 paper baking cups. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake the muffins for 15-20 minutes. Once they have risen evenly, an additional 5 minutes is usually sufficient. The “secret” to these muffins is the ground flaxseed and the batter’s perfect consistency and moistness. They almost always rise beautifully and remain moist at the same time. They are relatively low in fat. Variations: Chocolate Banana Muffins: Fold in an additional 2.5 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 2 small bananas, and a pinch of cinnamon. I mash these between my fingers. Once cooled, mix together a topping of 80g powdered sugar, 2 tbsp hazelnut spread, and 1 tbsp water and spread it on the muffins. Banana-walnut muffins: Fold in 2 small mashed bananas and 2 handfuls of roughly broken walnut halves. For the topping, see 1) or simply mix powdered sugar with lemon juice and place another walnut half on top. Espresso muffins: Dissolve 3 tbsp instant coffee powder in 1 tbsp hot water and fold in. Make a topping of powdered sugar and coffee liqueur and spread it on the cooled muffins with a teaspoon. Apple-cinnamon muffins: Peel, core, and finely dice 2 additional apples. Fold in along with 0.5 tsp cinnamon. Blueberry muffins: Add 1 small mashed banana to the batter and fold in 100g blueberries. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
