Summer Muffin Lovin’
Summertastic!
I’ve been enjoying trying all the different kinds of granola at the food co-op but today I wanted muffins! Based on my tiny pantry selection I had the right ingredients to make VWAV’s corn blueberry muffins but I altered the recipe. Instead of using soy yogurt I substituted about 1/2 of a banana (mashed) and used fresh strawberries instead of blueberries. I omitted the lemon zest and added about 1/4 cup of chiffonade basil.
The most beautiful one
YUM! They were delicious, puffed up and browned nicely and tasted amazing. I think the banana gave it a nice color and subtle flavor. I love strawberry and basil and have a bunch of basil seeds in the sprout process. Hopefully I’ll have a porch full of basil soon enough because to me, basil equals summer.
