Sugar Free Blackberry Tarragon Muffins
Ingredients
- 3 c. white whole wheat flour
- 3/4 c. sugar substitute (I use Splenda)
- 1 T. baking powder
- 1/2 t. baking soda
- 1/4 t. salt
- 0.5 oz. chopped tarragon
- 3/4 c. unsweetened soy milk
- 1/2 c. unsweetened oat milk
- 1/2 c. canola oil
- 4 t. egg replacer (equivalent to 2 eggs)
- 1/4 c. water
- 1 1/2 c. frozen blackberries
- 1 t. xantham gum
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cook the frozen blackberries until soft. Allow to cool and thicken. Add some xanthum gum if necessary to achieve the desired consistency (runny, but not liquid-y)
- Mix together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar substitute, baking powder, baking soda and salt) in a large bowl. Add the chopped tarragon and stir to distribute the tarragon.
- Combine the wet ingredients (soy milk, oat milk, canola oil, egg replacer, water and vanilla) in a large measuring cup. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Pour the blackberry mixture over top and stir until fully incorporated.
- Spoon into muffin tins lined with muffin papers and bake for 20-25 min. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the muffin pan.
Notes
- This was the first time I made this recipe so I was kind of winging it. The original recipe called for 2 cups of flour, 1 c. of milk and 1/2 c. of oil. I only had 3/4 c. of the soy milk left but I honestly thought that should be enough. However, when I mixed it all together (before adding the blackberries), it didn't look like enough batter, so I added another 1/2 c. of flour and 1/2 c. of oat milk (since I was out of soy milk). That looked better; however, once I added the blackberries it was too runny, so I added another 1/2 c. of flour. This ended up making way too many muffins (19!), which means I will have to eat 7 of them. Horrors! :-p Anyway, next time I think I would go with 2 1/2 c. of flour, and cut back on the milk. I will probably leave out the milk entirely, and add whatever is necessary once all the other ingredients are in and I see what the batter looks like. [Edit after taste test]: Could also use more sugar. The original recipe called for a cup but I thought that sounded like too much so I cut it back to 3/4 c., which was a mistake.
