Muffins!
There’s no such thing as too many muffin recipes. And you know that once you’ve found one that works for you, that is to say moist, not too sweet (there’s cupcakes for that), not too complicated, you have to hang on to it tight.
We started our German classes back in January: 3 nights a week, 2h40 of class and 1h30 bus ride each time. We were always starving and grabbing pretzels on our way there, so I’ve started making these apple & oatmeal muffins regularly to help keep our stomachs quiet and stay away from the “Bäckerei”. Man do German know how to make bread. You have to try it for yourself.
I’ve baked several batches of these precious muffins. Sometimes with apples, sometimes with pears. Sometime with nuts, most often without. Sometimes with only whole wheat flour, sometimes with a mix of whole wheat and unbleached all-purpose flour.
They’ve turned out perfect every time.

Adapted & Veganized from Let’s Dish Recipes
Looking for banana muffins? I’ve got the recipe for you!
Those vegan muffins look delicious, must try to make them next time I have a kitchen to use and abuse, that’s the only downside of being a full time traveller. Next time we housesit I’ll give it a go, thanks for the recipe :)
They sure are! :)
Where in the world are you now? We housesitted in Oslo during the Christmas holidays, and we were so happy to find out that the owners were vegan! They let us use their Vitamix and everything that was in the kitchen. A match made in heaven!
