Vegan Muffins for the Morning, thank you Veganomicon!

Of course we had to sample one tonight... but I made them for breakfast back up.

3/4 cup soy milk
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 cup unsweetened natural applesauce
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed ( i used organic)
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (i used organic)
3/4 cup oat bran (i used organic)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon organic cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground organic cardamom
1/2 teaspoon organic nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dried Oceanspray cranberry pomegranate pieces

Preheat the oven to 350F and lightly grease a muffin tin.  I used spray canola oil in a deep 6 muffin pan, but this recipe says it can make 12 in a regular size tin.  I ended up with 9 large muffins.
 In a large bowl, whisk together the soy milk and apple cider vinegar, allow it to rest for 1 minute to curdle.  Add the applesaurce, canola oil, and brown sugar. Whisk them together completely.
  In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the flour, oat bran, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt.  Fold the dry ingredients in to the wet; stir only to moisten and don't overmix.  Fold in the cranberries.  Use an ice ream scoop or measuring cup to scoop the batter into the muffin cups.
   Bake for 28-30 mins, until a toothpick inserted in to the middle comes out clean.  Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to complete cooling.
  Good stuff!  I am going to make pablano pepper hash browns tomorrow morning as well as vegie bacon for a big brekkie!
