Vegan Trail Mix Muffin

November 30, 2011 by Melissa

Here’s another great “for one” muffin recipe! This is my trail mix muffin, which I made using Enjoy Life’s “not nuts! Mix” which is vegan and nut free (and free of wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, fish, shellfish, casein, sesame…the allergen-free list goes on and on!). I was so excited to receive this product in the mail, because it has pretty new packaging, which I love! Plus, I think it’s amazing that in 1/4 cup of the mix, there’s only 130 calories, which makes it a perfect snack on its own. I have two flavors: Mountain Mambo and Beach Bash. The Mountain Mambo (sunflower kernels, pumpkin seeds, raisins, apples, non-dairy chocolate chips, and cranberries)  is what I used in today’s recipe, and I have a recipe for the Beach Bash (sunflower kernels, pineapple, pumpkin seeds, cranberries, and apricots) which I’ll post later.

 Pretty new bags!
Bursting with seeds and fruit!
Vegan Trail Mix Muffin, for one
2 Tbs. wheat flour, 1 Tbs. white flour (or 3 Tbs of flour of your choice)
1/4 tsp. baking powder
sprinkle salt (scant 1/8 tsp)
1 tsp. sweetener (I used ~1/4 packet of Splenda)
2 Tbs. non-dairy milk (unsweetened almond, or milk of your choice)
1 Tbs. non-dairy yogurt (WholeSoy vanilla yogurt, or yogurt of your choice)
1/2 tsp. vegetable oil (or coconut oil if you have it)
couple drops of vanilla extract 
1 Tbs. Mountain Mambo trail mix

~Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and prepare a baking ramekin with non-stick spray
~Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Transfer to ramekin. Bake appx 20 min or until test stick comes out clean. Enjoy!

[If you like the idea of “for one” muffins made with Enjoy Life’s chocolate chunks, you’ll love this one recipe too, so check it out!]

    HELLO! great idea & going to be perfect for this upcoming summer solstice festival!

    A few questions ~ what size ramekin do you use to bake this & do you think it could be made in a muffin pan, and do you have a recipe to make more at one time?

    Thanks for the idea! Going to look for this “not nuts” mix here, and use gluten free flour ~ to please everyone!

      Well, its a “for one” recipe, so it’s just for one.
      Yes you could make it in a muffin pan.
      Enjoy!
      And please check out my more recent recipes too! Have a wonderful weekend

        I realize that, I just thought you shortened it from a larger recipe, so I thought I’d ask.

        But I just made this exactly as directed & it made TWO. What size muffins are you making? Or what size is the ramekin?

        Thank you!

          I used a “standard” muffin or 1/3 cup ramekin. I filled them pretty full when making these which is why they appear so tall. I suppose you could divide the batter between two and end up with shorter muffins. But I was only making one. 🙂

            Thanks again Melissa, you’re so quick to respond 🙂
            I used a standard muffin tin as well & filled them as full as they would go & got two really big fluffy muffins; there was a tiny bit of batter left but not enough for a third. I will let you know how it works out when I increase the recipe to end up making a batch for a dozen~
