The best Vegan Protein Pumpkin Muffin?

Have you ever tried chia seeds and water as an egg substitute? I hadn’t until this recipe. I was skeptical as I have tried chia recipes in the past with disastrous and unappetizing results. As a result, I wasn’t sure what to expect with the egg substitute. I felt optimistic when I went to add the chia seed mixture to the other wet ingredients and saw that it acted very much like egg does when used for baking. The end result? I got was a delicious and tasty muffin that vegans and non-vegans alike will enjoy. Do you have a recipe that can top this one? Please share it with me: melissa@mikesmixture.com.
