Answer
Coconut Milk Recipes

Ginger Coconut Milk Soup
I posted a picture of my lunch the other day, and a few of you requested specifics - it was a spring soup made with a ginger & shallot coconut milk broth, spring vegetables, served over egg noodles.

Yellow Bean Salad
A summer yellow bean salad with a green chile-spiked, cilantro-flecked, and coconut milk dressing, toasted pepitas, and (if you want to make a meal of it) pan-fried tofu.

Spicy Lemon Coconut Sauce
A spicy lemon coconut sauce that is good on just about everything - noodles, frittatas, soups. Keep a jar in the refrigerator, and you can use it to make things a little special.

A simple tomato soup recipe inspired by a Melissa Clark recipe - pureed, warmly spiced, and perfect topped with everything from toasted almonds and herbs, to coconut cream or a poached egg.

Coconut Red Lentil Soup
Inspired by an Ayurvedic dal recipe in the Esalen Cookbook, this is a light-bodied, curry-spiced coconut broth thickened with cooked red lentils and structured with yellow split peas. The back notes of ginger, slivered green onions sauteed in butter, and curry-plumped raisins make this a new favorite of mine.

Cashew Curry
A simple, last-minute curry recipe - curry powder in coconut milk, deeply toasted cashew nuts, a handful of green beans, two handfuls of tiny cauliflower florets, and a bit of tofu for good measure.

Fantasy-ish Fudge
My take on the classic fantasy fudge recipe - made with Scharffen Berger chocolate, butter (not margarine) , and organic cane sugar.

Nikki's Sweet Potatoes
Decadent, delicious baked sweet potato recipe made from seven ingredients - sweet potatoes, ginger, coconut milk, shredded coconut, maple syrup, macadamia nuts and a bit of butter or olive oil. Shared with my by my friend Nikki.

Slurp-tastic Herb Noodles
A big, slurpy bowl of whisper-thin spinach noodles draped in a spicy curry and herb broth - inspired by a beautiful box of noodles I picked up in Mill Valley, Ca.

In a Hurry Green Curry
A quick and delicious green curry recipe - peas, asparagus, and tofu swimming in a fragrant, not-overly-rich Thai green chile broth.

Coconut Macaroon Pancakes
A uniquely delicious pancake recipe. If you can imagine coconut macaroons in pancake form - moist, golden, coconut-packed, with just a hint of sweetness - that's what you'll get.

Thai-spiced Pumpkin Soup
This Thai-spiced Pumpkin Soup couldn't be easier to make - roasted winter squash, coconut milk, Thai red curry paste, and sea salt come together in a pot of vibrant, rich, flavorful soup. A total crowd pleaser.

Purple Jasmine Coconut Rice
My favorite coconut rice recipe - rich, fragrant, and just sticky enough.

Spring Roll Salad
Imagine a spring roll without the wrapper and you've got this Myra Kornfeld salad. A familiar chorus of flavors - sweet, sour, tangy, hot, and nutty all projected onto a mound of serpentine rice noodles and crispy mushrooms.

Roast Banana-Pumpkin Breakfast Bread
Stephan Pyles' banana bread recipe includes rum-soaked golden raisins, toasted pumpkin seeds, coconut milk, and oven-caramelized ripe bananas.

Is there a vegan/vegetarian recipe for muffins or a quick bread that uses mainly oatmeal, almond flour?

..................I'm looking for a recipe that someone would kindly share..............

Thank you ! <3

Answer
Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Muffins

Dry Ingredients:
â¢1 and 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
â¢1/2 cup Oats (Quick Cooking)
â¢1/4 cup Ground Flax seed
â¢1/4 cup White Sugar
â¢1 teaspoon Baking Powder
â¢1 teaspoon Baking Soda
â¢1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon, ground
â¢1/2 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients:
â¢1 and 1/4 cups Almond Milk
â¢1 tablespoon Vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar)
â¢1/4 cup Oil ( I used organic, refined melted Coconut Oil)
â¢1/4 cup Maple Syrup
Optional Ingredients:
â¢1/2 cup Raisins
â¢1/2 cup Walnuts, chopped
Procedure:
1.Preheat oven to 350F/180C for 15 minutes. Lightly grease or line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners. Mix the almond milk and vinegar together and set aside for 5 minutes, for the mixture to curdle. Mix about a tablespoon of flour with the raisins, so that the raisins will not sink to the bottom of the muffins.
2.In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
3.In a small bowl, whisk together the curdled almond milk, maple syrup and coconut oil. Stir into flour mixture until just combined. Fold in the raisins and nuts.
4.Fill each muffin cup about 3/4ths full. The batter was just enough for 10 muffins and not for 12 muffins mentioned in the original recipe. So I filled the remaining empty 2 muffin cups with some water, to ensure even baking of all the muffins.
5.Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Mine were ready in 16 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and cool it on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes. If you use paper liners, remove the muffins out of the pan just after 5 minutes to prevent condensation.
