Banana Blueberry Muffins- vegan

Breakfast; the most important meal of the day! I thought I had breakfast all figured out, a quick smoothie or bowl of oatmeal was sufficient.  They kept me satisfied, and they are pretty tasty.  Then I created these Banana Blueberry Muffins- vegan, and they have thrown my whole breakfast plan right out of the window.  As I write this, I am contemplating whether I should whip up another batch for breakfast this week.  To keep these as oil-free as possible, I omitted the oil/butter from the recipe (I did grease the muffin tins though).  Don’t worry; they still have an excellent texture and fluffiness with our VegInspired twist.

The whole house smelled incredible, and John raved about these muffins for an entire week – to everyone who would listen.  The ratios of the banana and applesauce were the perfect combination to keep the muffins moist.  Let us know if you whip up a batch of these for yourself (and your loved ones) and be sure to share your pics on social media using #veginspiredfoodie

Live VegInspired!
