my friend kelly has been experimenting with vegan baking and shared this muffin recipe with me. it is by far the best recipe i have found- the outside is crispy and the inside is deliciously sweet and soft. way to go kelly! 

this was one of suki's first experiences eating sugar- a real treat for her!
