Review: French Meadow Bakery

French Meadow Bakery was kind enough to send me some products to sample and I am now in love with their products. I received the Hemp Tortillas, Our Daily Bread, and Hemp Bagels. Although all the products were good, my favorite was the bagels. They were just the right size and tasted great with tofu cream cheese. These little bagels were hearty and filling. The bread was great as well, just pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds and then toast until lightly browned. They make great toast for breakfasts or sandwiches, especially Tofurky. Lastly, you can’t go wrong with some sauteed veggies, black beans and salsa stuffed into one to French Meadow’s Hemp Tortillas. At this point you should be jumping off your couch and running to the store and checking the freezer section for these products. If you don’t see them then head straight to customer service and request that they carry them!

Banana-nut Muffins

Yesterday my husband comes to me asking if we have everything for banana bread because we had 3 very over rip bananas that were going to go to waste. I decided why not make banana-nut muffins so much easier to grab and go.

Banana-nut Muffins

1 and 3/4 cup self rising flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup natural sugar
3 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1-1/4 cups)
1/2 cup unsweetened soymilk
1 unsweetened applesauce cup (you know those ones you pack in lunches or ¼ cup applesauce)
2 tbsp. agave nectar
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat the oven to 400F and spray a 12 cup muffin pan with non-stick spray. In a bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, mash the banana with the sugar, soymilk, apple sauce, and agave nectar.

Pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Fold in the walnuts, and pour into 12 muffin cups- I like to use an ice cream soup. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
