I tried an experiment today. Drew loves muffins and begged me to make some this morning. I've had this box of milled flax seed in my pantry and according to the side, you can use a tablespoon of it mixed with 3 tablespoons of water in place of an egg.
Which is perfect for vegan living. (I mean flexitarian living.)
They turned out perfectly yummy. You'd never know they were egg and dairy free.
Vegan Banana-Walnut Muffins
1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup regular flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon milled flax seed mixed with 3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup rice milk
1/4 cup cooking oil (veggie)
3/4 cup mashed bananas
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
400 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Well, they certainly look good, and good on you for branching out.
I'm so reluctant to try out the vegan baking simply because I am such a sissy baby when it comes to the intricate, chemistry-driven world of baking. It's so hard to believe that it will work without the incredible, edible egg. :)

I have 2 over-ripe bananas begging me to do something with them. I think this is it! But I will still use an egg, as I DON'T have flax seed in my pantry ;)
Those look yummy. I'm such a chicken to try new things like this . . . maybe I will!
Good to know! My nephew is allergic to eggs...I'll have to pass that info along!!
I'm up for trying these.
Hey...tell me more about your BlogHer ads. I'm curious. I always said I'd never do it, but hey...if it brings in some money, I'm willing to eat crow.
