Blueberry Muffins

Welcome to my first blog post! 🙂 I’m so excited to share my recipes with you.  And its thanks to these blueberry muffins and my vanilla cupcakes that inspired me to start this blog.  I recently had to bake vegan goods for a bakesale at my university for my Animal Welfare Society and these blueberry muffins were my first foray into the world of vegan cooking.  Luckily, they turned out wonderfully!  So now I have to share my secret 🙂  The authenticity of these muffins are exceptional.  Just like normal muffins, but cruelty free and yummier! These dear muffins are delightful so please give my recipe a go and let me know what you think!
