  • {Vegan} Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins.

    My roommate had just gotten home and walked into the kitchen as I was pulling these muffins out of the oven. We like to play a guessing game as to what the other person is baking when we get home, based on whatever we smell when we walk in. “They’re pumpkin muffins,” I said. “I……

    I don’t think it ever occurred to me that you can make vegan pancakes until I bought the book Pancakes, written by the same cool lady who writes at A Cozy Kitchen. That sounds silly now that I really think about it.

  • {Vegan} Chocolate Chip Banana Oat Muffins.

    Three fun facts about me: 1. I have had bananas getting overly ripe and taunting me from the counter for quite awhile now. 2. Also, I was out of eggs for about a week. 3. In addition, I go through extremely lazy phases in which I don’t even want to drive ten minutes to get…
