Flax ‘n Gl’oat Vegan Breakfast Power Muffins

Well, what was supposed to be a quick and easy order this morning turned into The Battle of The Muffins BAKE-OFF!!!

You just never know what I’m going to do in that kitchen!

I was doing up an order and part of the order called for my Flax ‘n Gl’oat Breakfast Power muffins.

The only problemo?

These muffins had not been ‘veganized’ yet!

So my first batch was the traditional muffins with egg:

And for the second batch, I used my traditional recipe and modified it…A LOT!

The new vegan version is on the right!

I really enjoyed these vegan Flax ‘n Gl’oat muffins! The only thing I would change next time would be a bit less agave and a bit more sugar. They had a slight ‘agave’ taste to them. I’m very picky with agave for some reason! lol.

And I’m feeling pretty darn sweet today, so I am going to share my recipe with you all. :)

I also made a batch of vegan banana muffins that were a HUGE flop!

They were much too dense…

Eric and I both didn’t love them. They were ok don’t get me wrong, but not vault worthy. :D He’s going to give them to his coworkers! LOL. They’ll eat anything…

Packaging up!

I use this awesome thermal bubble wrap specifically made for shipping food products. It keeps heat and moisture OUT!

I get asked a lot where I buy my packaging products from. I buy everything in LARGE bulk orders from www.uline.ca It is hands down AMAZING!!!!!! Best customer service and selection aournd!! Check em out. :

A batch of my fabulous Chocolate Chip and Walnut Spelt Cookies:

These are hands down my favourite cookie that I make!

When I create recipes in the kitchen, I literally do it on the spot as I did with my new vegan Flax ‘n Gl’oat muffins.

It gives me a rush not knowing how it will turn out! :) See all my scribbling??? It is chaos, but it works for me! Now I just have to type up the new recipes and discard the old ones.

1) I’m back in the kitchen the rest of the day…I am quite behind now! Doh! Thank you for your order emails…I promise I will get to all of them within the next couple of days! :)
