raspberry okara muffins

032012 048a

In a bowl, mix together
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup chopped pecans

until ingredients are thoroughly combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together
8 oz. okara
1/3 cup canola oil
2/3 cup maple syrup
2/3 cup soy milk
2 tsp. vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar)
2 tsp. vanilla

until oil has been emulsified.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and combine until "just mixed." Then fold in
6 oz. raspberries (fresh or frozen)

Fill the cups of a lightly oiled 12-muffin tin with the batter. You should have enough batter to fill each cup all the way to the top. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 28-30 minutes. Allow muffins to cool for 10-15 minutes before removing from tin.

Verdict: I loved these. I like that they were sweetened with maple syrup, which is a bit more understated than cane sugar. I think I could have added more raspberries, or, if I were really nuts, I could have thrown in some chocolate chips for a dessert muffin.

  1. Hi I am currently making these and I added 6oz of fresh raspberries I even chopped them in half and they have been in for about an hour now and they are still raw in the middle. Any suggestions?

  2. I made these muffins twice this week, they are that good. The first time, I used dried banana, nuts and chocolate, though, and the sweet-sour berry flavour was definetly missing there... Second time I used mixed beeries such as rasberry, blueberry etc and it was heavenly.
    These muffins might well find their way into my weekly rotation
