How To Make whole`grain vegan cranberry~nut muffins

  • 1
    Preheat oven 400 DF Lightly grease and flour the wells of a muffin pan, or line the pan with paper liners, and grease the liners.
  • 2
    Whisk together all the dry ingredients, including the cranberries and nuts.
  • 3
    In a seperate bowl, whisk together the vanilla, vegetable oil, and tomato juice.
  • 4
    Sir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients; don't over mix, stir just until everything is moistened.
  • 5
    Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each nearly full. A level to (slightly heaped) muffin scoop of batter for each muffin works well here.
  • 6
    Sprinkle the tops with coarse white sparkling sugar, if desired.
  • 7
    Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes, until they've domed nicely and they're lightly browned around the edges.
  • 8
    Remove the muffins from the oven, and transfer them to a rack to cool. These muffins keep extremely well. Wrap individually; or set on a plate, and wrap loosely with plastic. They will stay fresh and moist for up to a week. Yield 12 muffins
