Sometimes Coffee Just Doesn't Do It.

But these buggers will.  Strawberry Bran Muffins. Vegan and good for you.

I had a craving for bran muffins.  Haven't had them in a long time.  I groove on the challenge to vegan-ize a recipe and still have it as good or better than the traditional.  These are pretty damned good.  Note:  bran and strawberries are natural laxatives so best stick to one or two at a time.  Either way, the farts are magic. 


Cup of wheat bran
Cup of whole wheat flour
Half cup of flax meal
tsp each of baking powder and baking soda
half cup of almond milk (you can use vanilla flavoured if you like)
1/4 cup of molasses
Half cup of strawberry puree (blend the bejeesus out a bunch of strawberries)
2 tblspoons of vegetable oil
1.5 tsp of Egg Replacer (mixed with 2 tblspoons of water) or if you don't care about vegan then just use a beaten egg

Mix the dry stuff in a bowl. Mix the wet stuff in a bowl. Mix the wet into the dry. Grease a muffin thing and spoon batter into it. Bake at 400 until the muffins pull away from the muffin thing - about 12 minutes.

If this recipe isn't manly enough for you, serve it with a shot of Jack and a Cuban cigar.
