By reducing our consumption of animal products and eating more plant-based foods, we can help stop the rapid depletion of the earth’s resources, slow the threat of climate change, and protect our planet for generations to come. Even if we don’t want to go “all in” with veganism, we can still make small but meaningful changes to the way we cook and eat. 

It’s a win-win when a recipe is both delicious and vegan, as with these muffins. And kids love them for afternoon snacks or breakfast. Be sure you let the muffins cool before taking them out of the pan, otherwise these tender little cakes will fall apart in your hand. But I kind of love that.
