Ingredients you’ll need to make this gluten-free vegan muffin
- Gluten-Free Flour - for this recipe we used oat and white rice flour but a gluten-free 1:1 flour blend can also work
- Ginger - grounded ginger will work but if you can use fresh ginger you'll be happy for the burst of favor. You can pick ginger up at your local grocery store in the produce section. The roots keeps for several weeks when refrigerated in a plastic bag. Ginger is good for digestion, reducing nausea and inflammation. Fun trivia fact it belongs to the same plant family as turmeric and cardamon
- Crystallized Ginger - You'll also be able to find the crystallized ginger down the candy aisle of stores like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods
- Egg Substitute - We use Bob’s Egg Replacer
It can be hard finding vegan and gluten free muffins and when you do the cost for four can be steep. We know your'll enjoy adding this to your breakfast rotation.
