Here is the recipe as promised. I adapted it from Dreena Burton’s marvelous Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan, which is definitely worth checking out for simple and delicious vegan recipes. These muffins freeze very well; just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place in a ziploc bag. I just ate one that I thawed at room temperature and it was still quite good.
Zucchini Whole Wheat Muffins
l 2tbsp flax meal
l 1/2 cup + 2tbsp water or milk
l 1 cup mashed ripe banana
l 1 cup grated zucchini
l 1/2 turbinado sugar
l 1/2 cup shredded coconut (I used unsweetened)
l 1/3 toasted chopped walnuts
l 1 tsp vanilla extract
l 3 tbsp olive or canola oil
l 2 cups white whole wheat flour
l 1/2 tsp sea salt
l 1 tsp cinnamon
l 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
l 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
l 1/2 tsp baking soda
1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. In a bowl, mix flax meal with water or milk and set aside.
3. Combine mashed banana and grated zucchini with flax meal water mix.
4. Stir vanilla, sugar, and oil into banana mix.
5. In separate bowl whisk together dry ingredients.
6. Add wet to dry until combined.
7. Spoon batter into paper lined or greased muffin tins.
8. Bake for ~25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and eat! Makes ~18 muffins.

My reaction to snow depends mostly on whether or not I am indoors and/or warm. In this case, I was indoors and warm so I oohed and ahhed over how snow-globey it looked. On the other hand, my poor roommates had to go outside and said it was freezing, slushy, and wet.
Which brings us to our current state of affairs–I am officially declaring the advent of hibernation mode.
Well what does that mean, and if you are still reading, why should you care? It’s baking time! Since last night, I’ve made a batch of chewy chocolate chip cookies, cocoa cranberry cookies, and vegan whole wheat zucchini muffins. The cookies were for other people, but the muffins are for me and my roomies. I’ll post the muffin recipe once I write down how I made it.
Yummy in Her Tummy is kinda officially back!

Also, the weather is dreadful! I never expected I’d actually be able to tell my *future, hypothetical* progeny “back in the day I walked to school in the snow, sleet, and rain!”

My brain is mushy from final papers, but these brownies are not! In fact, they are delightful, even when baked under extreme end-of-semester stress.
