Vegan Carrot Spice Muffins for Grandpa. To say that I had baking indecision yesterday would be an understatement! Whenever I am time-crunched and baking for someone special, my mind just draws a blank and nothing seems right. I looked over my recipes page for a quick + easy recipe that was calling my name… Snickerdoodles? Too Christmas-y.Pumpkin Gingerbread with Buttercream? Too much time.No Bake Date Squares? Too indecisive. So I let Eric choose! He has this uncanny ability to simplify things that I like to complicate. That wasn’t a question. My eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. …and then I remembered how much I hate grating carrots. Somehow, I sweet talked Eric into grating the carrots for me and I kept all my fingers intact.

Spicy Tofu 'Fish' Cakes over Fennel Salad.

However, during the past year I have found myself yearning for the flavor spicy food can bring and my palate has become more accustomed to slightly spicier dishes. Today I have a rather tasty tofu 'fish' cake with just enough spice to wake up your mouth paired with a nice, cooling fennel salad. Ingredients: 1 14oz package of extra firm tofu 1 zucchini, shredded 1 large carrot, shredded 1 small onion, diced 3 tablespoons of seaweed flakes (can use arame instead, I just cut up a nori sheet) 1 teaspoon of celery salt 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt 1 tablespoon of old bay seasoning 2 tablespoons of garlic chili sauce 2 flax eggs (if you don't have flax eggs just add one more tablespoon of corn starch) 1 tablespoon of corn starch 3 tablespoons of vegenaise 1 tablespoon of lemon juice 1 teaspoon of parsley Salt to taste.

I’m pretty sure that this is the best eggless/vegan blueberry muffins one can bake. The recipe does have a minor flaw (the oven temperature), which can definitely be taken care of. The texture of this muffin is unbelievable.

It’s as light as an angel food cake, which is made purely with egg whites. You can imagine how light that cake would be. So this blueberry muffins which uses vinegar as an egg substitute is also equally light and airy. I used apple cider vinegar this time and did not get any after taste or smell from the vinegar. Prep time: 15 Mins Cook time: 22 Mins + 5 Mins Cooling Yields: 12 Muffins It’s unbelievable that these light and airy blueberry muffins are made with vinegar and not eggs. Preheat the oven to 375F (see My Notes) for 15 minutes. I didn’t want to bake 2 batches when I started.
