Day 14: Share something vegan (and delicious, duh!) with a non-vegan.
I am infinitely fortunate to work with lots and lots of vegans. (I guess that’s what happens when you work in the animal protection field!) But not all of my coworkers are vegan or vegetarian, so I figured this prompt was the perfect opportunity to serve up some vegan treats to the masses, veg and non-veg alike. And what better time than during a Monday morning meeting?
Representatives from every section of our department attend a daily 10:00 AM meeting to discuss new and ongoing projects, so today I brought a container of mini lemon poppy seed muffins to share. I think this is one of my absolute favorite muffin flavors! I found this particular recipe on the aquafaba group Facebook page and knew I had to try it. With a whole tablespoon of baking powder and six tablespoons of aquafaba, these little muffins were super light and airy. My only complaint was the lack of lemon flavor; although they look gorgeously lemon-hued, they don’t have the characteristic tang I want in a lemony baked good. Next time I make them, I’ll add lots more lemon juice.
Everybody was so pleased at this surprise Monday-morning treat that I might have to start bringing in baked goods more often!

I love how baked goods are easy to share and so many people still think baking ‘needs’ eggs or milk to work, so weird right? Do you add lemon zest to the muffins? That would help punch up the citrus notch.

I did add lemon zest! Next time… more!

Yeah! I think baked goods are a sneaky and inviting form of activism. One muffin at a time we can change people’s attitudes about veganism!

Lemon & poppyseed is one of my fave muffin flavours too. I must make some soon!

I’m embarrassed to admit how many of them I ate myself — but they were mini, and it was all too easy to keep popping them in!
