Nearing the end of this summer, Kate happened upon a ton of freshly-picked blueberries. In addition to the massive amounts of blueberries, there were some bananas that were getting a bit too ripe for their own good. The solution? Blueberry banana muffins!

We followed this recipe but improved upon it by making it vegan. Eggless AND dairy free. Score. Honestly, the muffins turned out more moist than usual because of this. Eggs in baked goods harden when heated, but replacing them with apple sauce helps the recipe retain more moisture, as well as adding a bit of cinnamon to the flavor profile.

These muffins are the first baked good we have made for Vegetatio. For us personally, they are the first baked good we've ever tried to make vegan.

These muffins turned out so freaking good, seriously. You've got to give them a try.
