Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c sifted flour of choice
1 c granulated sugar
1 tsp sea salt or kosher
1 tsp baking powder
2 jumbo eggs-beaten
1 Tbsp almond extract
1 1/2 c soy milk-original not sweeten
1/4 c olive oil, extra virgin
1 1/2 c trail mix-with m&m's, different kinds of nuts, whatever kind you like

Steps:

  • 1. Sift the flour into a mixing bowl, add the salt, baking powder, mix it all together. Add the sugar and mix it with the flour mixture.
  • 2. Add the olive oil, 2 beaten eggs and mix it with the dry ingredients.
  • 3. Add the soy milk and mix it very well. Once you do that, add the trail mix and mix it extremely well. It should be like a cake batter, perhaps a little thicker.
  • 4. Spray the muffin tin with pam and pour the mixture into each cup a little more than half full. It should make 21 muffins, so you will need two tins. Place in preheated oven at 350 degrees for thirty minutes or until done.
  • 5. Serve nice and warm with butter and homemade jelly..Terrific!!!!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of nuts and seeds: This will give your muffins a variety of textures and flavors. Some good options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before storing them: This will help them to keep their shape.

Conclusion:
