Method

  • Preheat an oven to 190C and spread almonds out on a baking tray.
  • Once oven is heated bake the almonds for about 5-7 minutes If you plan to use this recipe again, to save time roast all the almonds you have and keep the spare in an airtight container.
  • While the almonds are roasting, either grease a muffin tray or you can use muffin liners.
  • In your food processor combine the flour, Sucanat, baking powder, salt and egg replacer.
  • In a separate bowl blend the vanilla, 4 tablespoons of oil and soya milk.
  • Combine the milk mixture to the dry mixture and blend until barely combined.
  • Add fruit and nuts if you are using them.
  • Divide mixture evenly throughout the muffin tray and bake for 15-20 mins or until a tester comes out clean.
