Fruit Muffins
Ingredients
2 cups All-purpose, unbleached flour
1/2 cup Oat bran
1 tbsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1 Egg substitute
1/3 cup Sugar
1/3 cup Vegetable oil
1-1/4 cups Plain soy milk
1-1/2 cups Frozen fruit (rinsed and drained)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease the muffin
pan.
Rinse and drain the fruit in a colander.
Combine the dry ingredients in medium mixing bowl.
Whisk the wet ingredients in large bowl.
Stir the fruit into the wet ingredients.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix
just until combined.
Spoon the batter into the greased muffin pan.
Bake the muffins for 25 minutes.
Remove the muffins from the pan and cool on a rack
for 15 minutes.
Serve the muffins as they are, or split them and melt a
pad of buttery spread into the center.
Tips
If you don't have an egg substitute handy, you can use
a tablespoon of flax seed mixed with 1/4 cup of water,
or a tablespoon of corn starch mixed with 1/4 cup water.
If you don't have oat bran, you can substitute an extra
1/3 cup of flour. You can also use wheat bran, but it
gives the muffins a more chewy consistency.
If you like nuts in your muffins, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of
chopped pecans or walnuts to the mix.
Use a large muffin tin if you want the muffins to stand
alone as breakfast, or use a small tin if you want to
serve them as a side treat with a different breakfast
entree.

Serves: 4 to 6
Preparation time: 45 minutes
2 red peppers
1 green bell pepper
2 onions
2 zucchini
8 oz. box mushrooms
6 new potatoes, scrubbed
1 tsp. salt
2 cloves garlic, crushed or pressed
coarsely ground pepper
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tbsp. basil
1/2 tsp rosemary
Wash and dry vegetables. Any combination of
vegetables in season may be used.
Cube them into large bite-size pieces. Halve
mushrooms, if large. Potatoes can be parboiled (or put in
first). Arrange vegetables in a baking dish or roasting
pan in a single layer.
Crush the garlic with salt using the side of a large knife
until pureed (or use a garlic press). Stir into oil.
Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and toss to coat well.
Sprinkle with pepper, oregano, basil and rosemary.
Roast in oven at 400°F; reduce heat if vegetables are
browning too quickly before they are done. Vegetables
may not cook at the same rate. As some of the
vegetables cook, they may be removed while the others
are left to finish cooking. Add more olive oil if the
vegetables absorb the oil and become dry during the
cooking (or use olive oil spray).
