Vegan Flax Seeds Cranberry Muffins

 I am not a very nutritious baker. I always bake with loads and loads of butter and sugar. So Gayathri’s Cook Spot has always been a diet free zone but when I heard of a baking competition with a theme nutritious bakes, I wanted to try. When I went through so many recipes, I found that even rice flour can be used successfully in baking. So I took a basic recipe and made it completely nutritious by adding roasted red rice flour, wheat flour, dark brown sugar, olive oil and soy milk. I have stayed away from dairy products too for this recipe.
 
8As this was an experiment, I didn’t expect anything edible. And the muffins didn’t raise too much in the first 5 minutes. I thought my experiment failed but they started raising and seeing those beautiful cracks I was so happy. Recently I bought a pack of dried cranberries and I love is so much that I have been adding it in many bakes. The addition to these muffins turned out so good. The muffins though denser than ordinary muffins were soft and moist and tasted absolutely delicious. It is better to serve them warm and they would make a filling breakfast.
