I know, yet another muffin recipe. It’s not that I like muffins, or making muffins, but my son just loves eating muffins more than anything else in this world. I am always making them from whatever I have laying around the kitchen. Peanut butter, zucchini, different squash, carrots, lemons, oats, and everything else.

I looked around the other night and realized that I had oranges, grapefruit, and lemons… in abundance. Well, there’s one of 2 muffin batches that I will make this week! EZPZ!

What do you need?

• 2 TBSP citrus zest (lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit)
• equivalent of 2 eggs (see end of list for egg replacement ideas)
• 2 TBSP of fresh citrus juice (lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit)
• 1/2 tsp almond extract
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1.5 Cups of flour
• 2 TBSP of poppy seeds
• 3/4 tsp pink salt
• 1.25 cups of sugar
• 2/3 cups vegetable oil
• 3/4 cups of non dairy milk

Egg replacers:

• 1 tsp baking soda + 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup of silken tofu
• 1/4 cup of mashed banana
• 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed + 3 tablespoons of water (let this sit for 5 minutes)

Let’s make this!

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
• Get your mixing bowl or stand mixer ready!
• Mix together all of your dry ingredients
• Add your citrus zest to the dry mix

• After mixing together your dry ingredients, juice your citrus. In these I did a mix of oranges and lemons.

• Add in all the rest of the ingredients

• Most recipes tell you to fill your muffin pans 2/3 or 3/4 of the way full to bake… Yeah, okay. I want my muffins big and pretty. I fill mine this high!

• Sprinkle the top of your muffins with some sugar if you want (no one is looking anyway, just do it)
• Bake your muffins for 20-25 minutes. I usually check them at 20 minutes with a toothpick. Just check to see if the toothpick comes out clean. Once it does, they are ready to come out of the oven and onto the cooling rack.

I love silicone muffin cups because they not only save you a ton of money, but the muffins and cupcakes never sticks to the inside of them!!! Patrick just likes letting everyone know what color muffin he wants. Silly boy.

Look at those pretty muffins!!!

Tell me what you thought about this recipe if you try it. Just remember until next time, anything you can make, I can probably make vegan!
