Cinnamon-Raisin Muffins

I used to love raisin bread. But it's difficult to find vegan ones in a normal bakery. I've only found one so far, but they just offer it from time to time. That was the inspiration for these Cinnamon Raisin Muffins based on this recipe. They were good, but not the texture I was looking for.


But they were tasty nevertheless and now they're gone because apparently I cannot stop eating when I'm home all day.

Thankfully, I also eat healthy things, including huge amounts of kale. This meal came out so good that I had to share!

1 onion
1 cup cooked brown lentils
6 leaves kale (or so)
2 dried apricots, chopped

Sauté ingredients together and add the following sauce:

2 tsp tomato paste
1 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp water



We ate it with polenta (made with thyme and lots of nooch) and raved for hours!

I keep the stems of the kale I eat everyday and make veggie broth every week. And the broth is as good as the kale itself!

I'm still sending applications, but everything's moving a bit slow, probably because of the financial crisis? and the upcoming Christmas? So no news from that front yet.
