Chocolate Chip Pumpkin muffins

Having chocolate for breakfast is a treat. And when you're 3 the only way to request chocolate for breakfast is to ask for it in the form of pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. I make these with some frequency because Rutabaga requests them, and I rationalize that they are a delivery method for pumpkin. I am a big fan of recipes from the Post Punk Kitchen. Her recipes are vegan, yet made with real ingredients, not just soy replacements for other ingredients. We make The Best Pumpkin Muffins.

My edits to the recipe are to reduce the sugar to a scant 1/3 cup and to delete the nutmeg. I also use vanilla oat milk instead of soy milk.

Flour's Banana Bread made vegan

We have recently fallen in love with Banana Bread in our house. For awhile we thought The Rutabega might also be allergic to bananas, turns out not true and the symptoms from before were possibly just bad coincidences. Our favorite recipe right now is from the Flour cookbook, made vegan. Here is how I have adapted the recipe...

- Reduce sugar down to a scant 1/2 cup
- Substitute the eggs for 1/4 cup applesauce + 1/2t baking powder and 1t baking soda + 1 Tablespoon white vinegar. I put all of this into the "wet" ingredients bowl, then skip the step of slowly adding the oil to the eggs.
- Replace the sour cream with 2T coconut raspberry yogurt.
- Cook for 75 minutes

I made it last night and half of it was gone before we want to work today.
