VEGAN LEMON POPPY SEED MINI MUFFINS
I created this recipe by mixing and matching several lemon poppy seed muffin and cake recipes. I also vegan-ized all the ingredients. Wow! These are sweet, without a ton of added sugar. These are soft and fluffy, without a ton of added fat or any margarine. I was skeptical of the recipe because I've had mixed luck when tinkering with recipes, but I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. They were a hit with vegans and non-vegans alike.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a mini muffin pan with non-stick spray, set aside.
- Combine the poppy seeds and soymilk in a small bowl. Set aside, stirring occasionally.
- Grate the lemons, obtaining 2 tbsp lemon zest. I highly recommend the Microplane Zester/Grater. It is worth the price and makes zesting a breeze. I suspect it will last a few lifetimes (at least).
- Make a "flax egg" by mixing the flaxseed meal with 6 tablesppons (1/4 cup PLUS 2 tbsp) hot water in a small bowl. Set aside, stirring occasionally.
- Whisk together the flours, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, set aside.
- In a small bowl combine the lemon zest and sugar. Rub together, with your hands, until they are evenly mixed.
- In a large bowl combine the lemon-zest sugar, oil, applesauce, lemon juice, "flax egg" and the vanilla and almond extracts. Mix well.
- Add the flour mixture and the soymilk/poppy seed mixture in alternating batches, stirring after each addition (or, if using an electric mixer, add in alternating batches as the mixer is running). Do not over mix.
- Add dough to the mini muffin pan using a tablespoon (1 tbsp = 1 mini muffin).
- Bake 10-11 minutes, let cool in pan for two minutes and move to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For regular sized muffins, bake 18-25 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean (I haven't tried this yet; the time is approximate and my best guess).
- For a 9x5 loaf, bake 50-70 minutes until a tester comes out clean (I haven't tried this yet; the time is approximate and my best guess).
- OPTIONAL GLAZE: In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the glaze on the muffins. There should be left over glaze. Let the muffins cool completely and store in an airtight container.

VEGAN LEMON-POPPY SEED MUFFINS
These are truly delectable muffins. They have a very light texture, crunchiness from the poppy seeds and a heavenly lemon-maple flavor. Wonderful for breakfast; try with apple butter or strawberry jam. (From "The Vegan Sourcebook")

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the flours, poppy seeds, baking powder & soda. Stir well.
- Place the flax seeds in dry blender and grind into a powder. Add 1/2 cup of the water and blend till it's a gummy consistency, about a minute.
- Add remaining wet ingredients to the blender,except zest, and blend till frothy, 1-2 minutes.
- Stir the zest into the blended mixture. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until everything is evenly moistened- Do Not Over mix! The batter will be fairly stiff.
- Immediately spoon the batter into 12-15 muffin cups with papers in them. Bake until the "toothpick tester" is clean and the muffins are lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
- Serve warm or cool completely on a rack before storing. Keep fresh up to 4 days, or they also freeze well.

VEGAN LEMON-POPPY SEED MUFFINS
The optional addition of a ripe banana makes these muffins very moist and sweet. With or without the banana these muffins are delicious. Plus they're vegan!
