Vegan fat free “Opera” muffins

Opera muffins


I call these Opera muffins because I make them on Saturday morning before we go to the Met Opera live broadcast in a local theatre. In our small town they still seem to allow patrons to bring in coffee and outside food and I have developed a ritual of getting a coffee next door and enjoying a three or four hours opera in the reclining seats of the small theatre. Being a huge opera fan, I look forward to this event and even when we travel, we try to get to a local theatre where they show the broadcast.

Back to the muffins. I seldom make them twice the same but tend to follow the general system outlined below. I make them fat free but you could add oil (1/3 cup, instead of the banana) if you want a more traditional texture muffin).

I find that the muffins were sticking to the paper cups so you could spray them lightly with non stick oil if you wish. I didn’t and just peeled off the paper cups when the muffins cooled down for easier handling.
