The Sourdough Morning Glory muffins are fantastic and I seem to be baking a batch a week. I wanted to let you know that I “veganized” the recipe by using flax egg in place of the eggs (1 tablespoon ground flax to 3 tablespoons of water to replace one egg). The rise is great, the flavor marvelous and no birds had to live in cramed, unhealthy conditions.
