I never knew vegan baking could be so much fun!

It’s hard to imagine that a muffin without the butter, white processed sugar and eggs would taste this delicious! They turned out to be super moist and pleasantly sweet! (I am sold on using flax meal as an egg replacement!)

Today’s farmers market purchase was a gigantic zucchini, enough for two meals! Half of it was turned into a raw zucchini pasta and the other half was transformed into muffins!

These took no time at all to whip up, try a batch today!
