GRAINSTORM baking mixes work beautifully using vegan baking techniques. Here is a simple base formula that can be embellished in many ways -- see our other recipes for inspiration.

INGREDIENTS

• 500g Bag Ancient Grain Loaf & Muffin Base
• 3 Tbsp ground flaxseed
• 1 1/2 cups soy, almond or rice milk
• 2 tsp lemon juice or cider vinigar
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

1. preheat oven to 400°F
2. mix flax seed with 1/4 cup water and let it thicken for 15 minutes
3. in a large mixing bowl, combine flaxseed with remaining wet ingredients and mix well
4. add the entire 500g bag of grains and stir gently until JUST mixed (do not overmix)
5. fill 12 muffin cups or 2 shallow loaf pans, bake about 18-22 min until top springs back and toothpick comes out clean

Notes:

Coarse-ground grains work well in vegan preparations, however as with much vegan baking, they tend to be dense and are best baked with less height of batter in the pan, say about 1 to 1 1/2 inches; small muffins and short loaves give the best results.
