I love Muffin Monday!! I always get the muffins ready on Sunday evening before bed, so that the mix is ready to pop into the muffin pan and put in the oven first thing Monday morning. It's a great way to start the week!

So, here it is--my basic muffin recipe. This is an awesome place to start and then you can just add stuff and play around with it until you get it how you want it. Delicious!!

4 1/2 cups whole wheat*
1/2 cup natural cane sugar 
1/2 cup flax meal
2 tsp salt
2 tsp soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
3 cups almond milk*
2 eggs (or egg substitute)
1 cup extra light olive oil
1 cup honey
2 tsp. vanilla

Combine dry ingredients, add wet ingredients, then whatever stuff you want to throw in there (berries, carrot pulp, chopped apples,...).

* more soy milk can be added if it seems too dry.

Then spoon it out into the muffin pan, put them in the oven at 350 degrees, and tell the kids they have about twenty minutes to finish their morning chores before breakfast is ready.

Yields 24 muffins.
