VeganMoFo: Do you remember these guys?

It’s October! This is the beginning of VeganMofo. Funny and yummy at the same time. Like these muffins:

Do you remember the smurfs?

Doesn’t this muffin look like one?

These are Celine’s Double Chocolate Muffins. They look as if they have smurf hats because the muffin pan slipped after I put it onto the baking rack. They were still very tasty!

I made some alterations to the recipe because I wanted chocolate muffins so badly but didn’t have all the ingredients on hand:

I used 1 1/2 cups white flour instead of the whole wheat / all purpose flour mixture

1 1/2 cups evaporated cane juice instead of the powdered sugar

1/4 cup prunes puréed with 1/4 cup water instead of the apple sauce

alpro soya macchiato instead of soy creamer

No chocolate chips.

They came out not too sweet and very moist.

Then I sliced them up and topped them with some homemade chocolate pudding and sliced almonds. Yum!
