I believe it was Socrates who said, "A muffin-free life is not worth living." And I couldn't agree more. So get out your old muffin pans, you can finally have muffins back in your life.

These tender, not-too-sweet muffins, which echo the clean corn flavor of polenta, are delicious alongside a steamed latte or a cup of Darjeeling - or all on their own.

• 12-cup muffin pan, greased
1 cup Brown Rice Flour Blend 250 mL

2 tsp gluten-free baking powder 10 mL
¾ tsp xanthan gum 3 mL
½ tsp baking soda 2 mL
½ tsp salt 2 mL
1 egg 1
½ cup granulated sugar 125 mL
1 cup buttermilk 250 mL
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted 60 mL
2 tsp finely grated lemon zest 10 mL
1 cup raspberries, blackberries 250 mL
or blueberries
3 tbsp turbinado sugar 45 mL
1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour blend, cornmeal, baking powder, xanthan gum, baking soda and salt.

Replace the buttermilk with non-dairy buttermilk (see page 20). Replace the butter with unrefined virgin coconut oil, warmed, or vegan margarine, melted.

Makes 10 muffins
These muffins would be terrific made with any type of stone fruit - peaches, nectarines, apricots - so feel free to substitute your summertime favorites for the plums.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)
• 12-cup muffin pan, 10 cups lined with paper liners
Topping
½ cup finely chopped walnuts 125 mL
2 tbsp vegan granulated sugar or 30 mL
evaporated cane juice
¼ tsp ground nutmeg 1 mL
Muffins
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour 250 mL
1 cup all-purpose flour 250 mL
2½ tsp baking powder 12 mL
½ tsp ground cinnamon 2 mL
½ tsp baking soda 2 mL
½ tsp salt 2 mL
¾ cup vanilla-flavored soy yogurt 175 mL
½ cup agave nectar 125 mL
¼ cup vegetable oil 60 mL
1 tsp vanilla extract 5 mL
1½ cups diced firm-ripe plums 375 mL
1. Topping: In a small bowl, combine walnuts, sugar and nutmeg. Set aside.
2. Muffins: In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat pastry flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, agave nectar, oil and vanilla until well blended.
4. Add the yogurt mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just blended. Gently fold in plums.
5. Divide batter equally among prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle with topping.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 3 minutes, then transfer to the rack to cool.
Tip: To find a ripe plum, hold one in the palm of your hand. It should feel heavy. There should be some give, particularly at the blossom end (opposite the stem end). Hard plums will soften a little in a brown paper bag at room temperature within 2 days. But plums won't sweeten appreciably after they're picked: the sugars must develop on the tree.

Makes 12 muffins
Sweet potatoes take beautifully to muffin form. The sage and green onions make an ideal foil for the sweetness of the potatoes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)
• 12-cup muffin pan, greased
¾ cup non-dairy milk (soy, almond,rice, hemp) 175 mL
2 tsp cider vinegar 10 mL
2¼ cups all-purpose flour 550 mL
2½ tsp baking powder 12 mL
1½ tsp salt 7 mL
1 tsp dried sage 5 mL
½ tsp baking soda 2 mL
2 tbsp vegan granulated sugar or 30 mL
evaporated cane juice
1⁄3 cup vegetable oil 75 mL
1 can (15 oz/425 mL) sweet potatoes, 1
drained and mashed (or 11⁄2 cups/
375 mL cold mashed cooked sweet potatoes)
1⁄3 cup finely chopped green onions (scallions) 75 mL
1. In a glass measuring cup, combine milk and vinegar. Let stand for 5 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sage and baking soda.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, milk mixture and oil until well blended. Stir in sweet potatoes until blended.
4. Add the sweet potato mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just blended. Gently fold in green onions.
5. Divide batter equally among prepared muffin cups.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 22 to 27 minutes or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then transfer to the rack. Serve warm or let cool completely.
Tips: Be careful measuring the sage for this recipe. Although the musky, minty and slightly floral flavor of the herb is delectable in combination with the sweet potatoes, it is very pungent: too much and the flavor can be overwhelming.
If making the mashed sweet potatoes from scratch, prepare them without milk and butter. They can be easily prepared in the microwave: Scrub sweet potatoes (about 2 medium for this recipe) and pierce each a few times with a fork. Place on a microwave-safe plate lined with a paper towel. Microwave on High, turning halfway through, for 4 to 5 minutes for the first potato plus 2 to 3 minutes for each additional potato. Let cool. Cut in half, scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash with a fork.
