Vegan: Day 10





The world of breakfast has seemed limited since abolishing the wonderful variety of the egg and eliminating yogurt.  I was looking into options for vegan baked goods to make the morning exciting and came across a recipe for coconut-carrot muffins.  Yum.  These were very hearty and filling, and not super sweet, which I liked.  It's interesting trying to bake without eggs...after perusing recipes it seems like it's common to use what's called a "flax egg", which is just flax meal mixed with water.  It gets thick and helps hold the batter together, but I think it also makes it more dense.  I generally followed this recipe, but ended up adding a lot of water to the batter to lighten it up, and also a more generous amount of spices, fruit, and nuts.
