Orange vegan muffins | Chia seed muffins

Orange vegan cake is a soft moist tangy cake. It reminds me of orange, pineapple vegetarian eggless cakes in bakeries back home. Small Iyengar bakeries in the by-lanes of southern India, cater to the small hunger pangs of hundreds on the way home. Be it kids coming back from school, sport practice or professionals all love a small bite of cake. They serve fresh baked sweets and savory daily and generally over by the end of the day. This orange vegan cake is our take on all those cake slices back home.

Oranges come in plenty when in season. You can enjoy making a jam,preserve,cookies using them. Dry the peels to make your own face scrub. Apply it with rose water, rub and wash. Easy and vegan way to make your face fresh. Citrus mandarins and oranges are just the pick me up you need after a dull long tiring day at work.

What is vegan cooking?

It is a strict vegetarian diet which also excludes the use of meat, eggs, honey and dairy products. Vegans also like to use no-animal product in things they use in daily life.

Grind oats to make oat flour in advance. This way you can get oat milk anytime you need. Just mix with water and strain. It also helps you avoid market based plant milks which might have other elements added.
