Vegan Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry Muffins from Bakerita.com | Vegan and whole wheat, but you'd never know!These muffins were a total accident, that turned out SO amazingly. I was planning on making regular blueberry muffins when I realized two things:

A) The carton of blueberries I bought was on the verge of going bad,

B) I had never shared my favorite blueberry muffins on here!

So naturally, I just started whipping up the recipe. I ran to grab an egg, and…no eggs. I’m not one for egg replacements, so I had none of that either. I spotted a banana, mashed it up and threw it in. I went to grab the milk, and realized it was heavy cream or almond milk. Erring on the side of health, I grabbed the almond milk.

Blueberry Muffins from Bakerita.com | Vegan and whole wheat, but you'd never know!The half whole wheat I did on purpose, and after mixing up all the batter, I realized they were vegan! I usually add a crumb topping to these muffins, and I promise to post the original recipe soon, but I decided to forgo it and hope these turned out decent.

Well, guys…WAY better than decent. No one even realized they were vegan OR whole wheat, they tasted so perfectly light with the exact texture of sort-of dense, but soft-of fluffy that I always want in a muffin.

I wouldn’t say they’re healthy, but they’re not as bad as the white flour, crumb-topped ones for sure. Oh, and that banana? You can’t taste it, I promise. It just gives the right amount of moisture that the lack of egg took away.

Blueberry Muffins from Bakerita.com | Vegan and whole wheat, but you'd never know!If you like to add spices to your blueberry muffins, I love a 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg in this recipe, but add whatever and however much you like! I left spices out of this batch to let the blueberries shine.

Also, if you use frozen blueberries, be aware your batter might turn a little blue! Be super careful not to overmix those babies.

So whether you’re vegan or not, these muffins are absolutely amazing and definitely worth a try, whether you’re out of eggs and milk or not! Enjoy :)

Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls | Bakerita.com

Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls

Apples are arguably the best fall ingredient, held in stiff competition next to pumpkin. I, personally, don’t like to pick favorites. I give an equal shot to both pumpkin and apples and let them in each shine in their way the way only the season of fall let’s them do.

Each of them benefits from a good dash of cinnamon and nutmeg, and falls perfectly into the cocoon of freshly made pie dough. Yum.

Break me off a piece of that.

Erm, a slice of that? [Read more...]

Hummingbird Muffins [a delicious muffin full of toasted pecans, pineapple, and mashed bananas!] from Bakerita.com

Hummingbird Muffins

Life has definitely caught up with me lately. Gone is the slow, leisurely pace of summer and back is the hectic, crazy lifestyle that only other college students seem to understand. There is definitely a balancing act that’s involved in college success. Each person needs to find their rhythm – the correct balance of classes, studying, and socializing that works for them.

I also throw baking into that equation, as it’s something that ranks pretty highly on my importance list. I arrived back on campus this past Friday, and since then has been a complete whirlwind of reconnecting with friends and acquaintances, shopping for room necessities and decorating, and the worst – unpacking and organizing. It’s been extremely hectic around here, but I’m happy to say my new room is completely organized to my liking and is looking super cute thus far! [Read more...]

Dark Chocolate Cherry Muffins | Bakerita.com (because who says you can't have decadence for breakfast?)

Dark Chocolate Cherry Muffins

This is my favorite time of year in San Diego. The weather is absolute perfection (not that the weather here is ever bad), ranging from 73-80 degrees, the sun is constantly shining, the races at the Del Mar Fairgrounds have begun, and the amount of hot surfers you see while driving down the 101 is absolutely ridiculous…sorry freeway, I think I'll be taking the coast from here on out.

Even better than the sun and the surfers though (um, better? Debatable, but we'll go with it) is the produce. Farmer's markets are full of tomatoes, figs, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and a plethora of weird fruits and veggies I've never ever heard of. Even the strawberries from the grocery store are bursting with sweetness. I'm always overwhelmed by the amount of gorgeous fruits and vegetables this time of year, because I want to bake with them all! However, one of my favorite fruits that comes with summer is cherries. I absolutely love cherries. [Read more...]
