Happy Holiday. Give yourself a day off and recharge. I know we are all hard-wired to check our cell phones and email as often as we can - but I've found that if I just "turn off" for a few hours - or even an entire day (challenging, I know!) - when I "turn back on" I am all the more energized, vibrant and ready to attack the day.

..and a great way to "turn off" is to get in the kitchen and bake. This batter recipe is lovely paired with whatever fresh summer fruit you may have on hand.

Vanilla. Subtle Lemon. Batter. There is a nice dose of lemon juice in this batter - I call it my secret brightening ingredient. It gives such a light and summery flavor to the batter. Subtle lemon is perfect for pairing with berries, peaches, banana, apples - any fruit really. Yet the flavor is clean enough to pair with bolder ingredients like ginger, spice, cinnamon and even chocolate - as in chocolate chip mini muffins. Yum.

Use your imagination and enjoy this versatile baking recipe.

Perfect for strawberry short cake round too!! Soy whip swirled on top..

Easy Vegan Baking Batter
makes enough for about 15 muffins

2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup agave syrup
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup grape seed oil (any veg oil will work)

1 mashed banana
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
5 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
2-3 Tbsp Ener-G Egg Replacer + water to activate

notes:
* you can reduce the oil by 1/4 cup for lower fat batter - just increase the soy milk by the same amount.
* The Ener-G is optional, but helps make your muffins fluffy. You can use another egg replacer if you'd prefer.

baking times (approx):
* mini muffins - about 13-15 minutes
* muffins - about 18 minutes
