Cranberry orange oatmeal muffins... Returning.

We are now going to have a bit of a financial struggle until I find another job, but I for one would rather be broke than part of an organization that went against the very core of my values. And what are urban pioneers if not thrifty? Making your food from scratch is time consuming, but always more economical... Take these lovely muffins, for example!

Cranberry orange oatmeal muffins...

• Cranberry Orange Oatmeal Muffins
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup turbinado sugar
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 teaspoon sea salt

• 2 teaspoons fresh orange zest
• 1/3 cup slivered almonds
• 3/4 cup soymilk
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 1/3 cup canola oil
• 1/4 cup agave nectar

Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a muffin tin with nonstick baking spray.

Stir together the flour, oats, sugar, chia seeds, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon, dried cranberries, orange zest, and almonds.

In a separate bowl, combine Soymilk and lemon juice, and set aside for 7 minutes

Add the soymilk mixture to the dry ingredients along with the oil and agave nectar, and mix until combined.

Transfer mixture into prepared muffin tins. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.


Remove from oven, and set aside for 10 minutes to cool before serving - they will smell wonderful!

These make a lovely snack to take along on a long hike with your friend's adorable dogs... :-)
