Every mid-morning as a snack my mum loves to nibble on something, so I decided to make Moms Vegan Mid-Morning Polenta Sweetcorn Muffins
Most of the time she has salty cracks, but sometimes just sometimes I have a couple of minutes to spare.
During this spare time, I like to bake a muffin or a scone for her but most of the times, more times that I would like to mention, I hit a blank as to what I should bake for her.
Sometimes being a vegetarian has its disadvantages, especially in the muffin department.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy of “The Joy of Vegan Baking,” by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau and there are a ton of recipes that are all up my mum’s street.
Trust me I plan to try and make every muffin recipe in that book, lol by the time I am finished with her, she will have muffins coming out of her ears or maybe a muffin top???

½ cup polenta.
1 tsp salt.
1 cup soy milk.
3 tbsp. castor sugar.
1½ tsp crushed flax seeds mixed with 2 x tbsp. hot water.
2 cups cake flour.

2 tsp baking powder.
1/3 cup, melted margarine.
1 tin (420g) cream-style sweetcorn/ tin of plain sweetcorn.
Method:
In a bowl, mix the polenta, ½ tsp salt, and the milk, allow to stand for 15 minutes.
