Vegan Orange Cherry Muffins

Vegan Orange Cherry Muffins

egan Orange Cherry Muffins. If you’re vegan, you’re probably thinking yaaaaaaas! If you’re not a vegan you’re probably think, um no. But, hear me out. Because I know this is going to sound crazy, but vegan baked goods are some of the fluffiest, moistest, most delicious baked goods I’ve ever tried. And I’ve tried a lot of baked treats.

I remember the days when my vegan friends tried to convince me that their vegan chocolate cake wasn’t dry and dense. And then I’d have a bite, smile politely, and try to figure out how not to eat the rest of the slice without committing a complete social faux pas.

But, things are different now – and I think that something might have to do with the popularization of coconut oil. Coconut and bananas – while it may sound like a weird combo – mimics the egg/butter combo surprisingly well. In this recipe it makes these Vegan Orange Cherry Muffins moist with a tender crumb, not dense and crumbly.

Autumn Calabrese and her brother Chef Bobby Calabrese have rounded out the rest of the recipe using gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking powder, chopped walnuts, sea salt, ground flaxseed, vanilla, maple syrup, orange juice, peanut butter, and of course, orange zest and cherries.
