Vegan Blueberry Ginger Muffins
Just like the banana bread that surely profited from the almond kick, these blueberry muffins were also a hit. They had a pleasing texture and hearty almond flavor, and with two different levels of ginger–ground and fresh–there’s a permeating bite. There are also flax seeds tossed into these guys. If you want to up the health factor, this is a nice touch. Or you could try wheat germ, which mixes well into any muffin or bread. The blueberries just happened to be a little tart, which happens from time to time. If you like your berries that way, that is. If only they had been a wee sweeter, but what can you do about that?
