These are so easy to make that even my friends who can‘t cook can make them.

Makes 12 muffins

• 90 grams (about 3/4 cup, unsifted) full-fat soy flour

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• Dash of salt

• 3 extra-large eggs

• 1/4 cup fat-free half-and-half

• 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon cold water

• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated

• 1 1/2 teaspoons butter extract

• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• Granulated artificial sweetener equal to 6 tablespoons sugar

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Combine soy flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside. (I usually weigh the flour in a plastic bag, add the other ingredients and then set the bag aside.)

3. Beat eggs thoroughly, then add the half-and-half, water, nutmeg, extracts, and sweetener.

4. Sift in the soy flour mixture and beat until well combined. The texture should resemble sour cream.

5. Either grease muffin tins or fill muffin tins with special papers designed for them and divide mixture into 12 muffins. Top with Cinnamon-Sugar Topping (recipe follows) if desired.

6. Bake the muffins for 17 to 20 minutes or till done. Store in the refrigerator in a plastic bag when cooled.

These muffins freeze beautifully and can easily be reheated in aluminum foil.
