I love muffins. I would eat one every day if I wasn’t already on the fast track to diabetes. They’re a great “breakfast” food, or snack. As I’m often reminded, muffins are basically cupcakes without icing, so I’m just going to call this what it is: an amazing dessert recipe. Just looking at the photos of these muffs brought on my instinctual reaction to delicious-looking or -sounding desserts that involve my favorite ingredients: making incomprehensible “aghhhlamaonom” noises with my tongue hanging out. What’s even better is that this whatever-meal-you-want-to-eat-it-as recipe is vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and oil-free! So much freedom. Check the recipe below and try not to drool on your keyboard.
