(Sorry for the quality of the photos this week. We were experimenting with things and it clearly didn’t work!)
I am beyond excited for the weekend! Technically, it’s already my weekend (squeee!) but I’m excited for Saturday. I’m headed over to Grand Rapids where there just happens to be amazing breweries and a couple vegan restaurants (both entirely vegan and omni/vegan combos). There’s just something so great about going to a restaurant and being able to order anything I see on the menu, rather than searching for one vegetarian item.
Even though it’s only like a 2 hour drive, it always seems like such a long trip. Maybe it’s because driving across the middle of Michigan is basically just driving through 2 hours of cornfields with the occasional one stoplight town thrown in. If I’m making the drive, I want to leave super early and get my day’s worth. I’m the kind of person that will never leave the house without breakfast, so I made a batch of these muffins so I can eat in the car and get a jump on my day.
I wanted not just any kind of muffin, but a tall and hearty bakery style muffin. I took my girl Sally‘s advice and baked using multiple temperatures to make these muffins nice and tall. I kept these bad boys vegan so everyone could enjoy. Hope everyone has a great weekend – match a batch of these muffins if you’re on the go or just want a lazy Saturday morning. They’re perfect with a cup of coffee!

Love a good hearty, healthy, tasty muffin for breakfast! Hope you enjoyed your weekend 🙂
I’ll take any excuse to eat chocolate for breakfast! Yum. Have fun this weekend!
Have fun in Grand Rapids! Muffins look great and no worries about the photos, still look great!
LOVE that these are vegan! I think that I am going to make these the next time that I bring in breakfast for my co-workers :).
They look fantastic! A recipe I must try out as I love muffins.
These muffins look super tasty and I love how they’re healthified so not so bad for breakfast 😉
Can these be made with home made oatmeal flour, too?
I haven’t tried it. In my experience, oatflour works amazing to sub out for flour, but I haven’t actually tried it with the multiple baking temperatures. If you try it out, please report back!
These would be a favorite for breakfast!
I love having muffins ready when school is in session – I’m going to have to try these in a few weeks!
200 Calories each! I’m in! The Grand rapids area is so beautiful, enjoy 🙂
Are you from the Michigan area, Reba?!
Love muffins! 200 calories is so much less than bakery items. Awesome!
Have an amazing weekend!!!! Sounds like a blast! I love all vegan restaurants – the absolute best! And of course these muffins looks delicious! Enjoy the drive through cornfields – sounds peaceful!
