It's time to talk about the Orange Rabbit Muffins

Here's the deal with my baking abilities. I'm a horrible baker. I'm not being humble, I honestly have never successfully baked anything. But, I never ever give up either. So when I got the idea for "Orange Rabbit Muffins" from the wonderful coffee bar that I work at, Wake Up, Iowa City. Check this place out. Best coffee anywhere, I just knew I had to make them.  One of the many wonderful beverages we serve at Wake Up Iowa City is the "Orange Rabbit Juice." That's carrot, apple, and ginger juice brewed from the one and only Jack Lalanne Power Juicer. One of my duties as employee is to dump all the leftover juice guts, but why waste such a wonderful by product? I thought, put that shit in some vegan muffins and call it "Orange Rabbit Muffins." So, if you have a juicer, juice up 2 small apples, 3 carrots, and 2-3 chunks of fresh ginger. If you don't have a juicer, get your grater out.

Here's my recipe:

--2 cups of flour
--1 cup of sugar
--some sniggles of clove, nutmeg & allspice
--a large sniggle of cinnamon
--2 tsp of baking soda
--2 cups of soymilk
--2 cups of apple, carrot, ginger guts.

 MIX TOGETHER

Then I preheated the oven to 350 degrees and poured my batter into muffin cups. I put it in the oven and about 15 mins later They were burning up my mouth. Now is where I'm going to be totally honest with you. The muffins I made were terrible. I mean to tell you that they tasted more vegan than anything has ever tasted.

Here's a picture of those offensive buggers:

So you're wondering why I'm sharing this recipe with you? Because I've done some serious thinking.

What this recipe needs is some good stuff...
--instead of regular soymilk use coconut milk.
--put in some extra sugar, try brown sugar.
--USE APPLESAUCE. Duhhh, it just needs a little bit of applesauce and a lot less flour. try 1/2-3/4 cup of applesauce and reduce the flour to about 1 cup or 1 1/4 cup tops.
--add some walnuts. Don't add walnuts if you have a nut allergy. 
--put some butter in it.

I almost guarantee that you can make these muffins delicious. Just learn from my mistakes.
