Another delicious muffin

Pineapple Pecan Cream Cheese Muffin

I had frozen pineapple, pecan, and partial containers of vegan sour cream and vegan cream cheese. I could not waste these precious ingredients, so the idea for these muffins was born out of my efforts to utilize every scrap of food. I'm okay with that since it can lead to the utter deliciousness that is these muffins. My children devoured their muffins in minutes.

Recipe

1 cup Unbleached All Purpose or White Wheat Flour
2/3 cup Spelt Flour
1/3 cup Coconut Flour
1 Tbsp Baking Powder
3/4 tsp Salt
1/8 cup Sour Cream Substitute or Plain Vegan Yogurt
1/8 cup Cream Cheese Substitute
1/3 cup Demerara Sugar
1 cup + 2 Tbsp So Delicious Coconut Milk
1/4 cup Canola Oil
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup Pineapple Chunks cut into small pieces
1/3 cup Pecan Pieces

Grease or spray muffin tin with oil. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Measure flours, baking powder, and salt into a medium sized mixing bowl. Set aside. Measure sour cream substitute or yogurt and cream cheese into a small bowl and mix thoroughly with a fork. In liquid measuring cup combine coconut milk, sugar, oil, and vanilla.
Pour milk mixture into dry ingredients stir together, then add cream cheese mixture, stir until combined. Stir in pineapple and pecans. Spoon into muffin tin. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.

    Pineapples, pecans, AND cream cheese? WOW YUM! Guess I'm going to be baking this weekend, no matter how hot it is! LOL! I'll use So Dleicious Coconut Milk Yogurt and Vegan Gourmet Cream Cheese, and they will be amazing. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

Cool, Creamy, and Delicious

Vegan Cherry Cream Cheese Pie My husband has been craving the Cherry Cream Cheese Pie he remembers from the summers before we went vegan. Our kids are less picky just wanted something sweet and cool. Today, I realized I was up to the task with a little help from Mama Pea with a vegan version of sweetened condensed milk . It looks like the old pie, it smells like the old pie, and yes, it tastes like the old pie. You can't see it, but I am definitely doing a victory dance here. As always, my non-dairy milk of choice for the sweetened condensed is So Delicious Coconut Milk. You are lucky I was able to get a camera shot of this it is disappearing fast. Next time, I might try adding another 4 oz of Cream Cheese substitute or using full fat canned coconut milk instead of So Delicious for the non dairy sweetened condensed milk to try for a thicker consistency, but the taste was awesome, as is.  Seriously, you should try it right now.

Pizza Lounge in Dallas

Vegan Sofa King at Pizza Lounge We had the opportunity to try a vegan pizza night at Pizza Lounge . We were lucky enough to choose Sunday evening as the time to go. On this particular Sunday, they had live music. The music was played by a great group of guys known as The Poor Kings . We ordered the Un-humus appetizer and a vegan version of PL's Sofa King. Check out the menu for the details on all the pizzas they can make vegan for you.  The un-humus could use more salt, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil, but the flat bread was awesome.  As for the pizza, they tossed on every one of their vegan meat substitutes with a decent sauce and excellent crust.  I would have like some more vegetables and an addition of olives, but it was a good pizza, and a great funky atmosphere to go with the live band.  I would highly recommend you try it out if you are ever in the area.  If it is Sunday night and The Poor Kings are playing, I might just be there. ;)
