Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Sugar is my pick. It tastes great, way better than white sugar, and Wholesome Sweeteners is an environmentally friendly and Fair Trade company. I use this for all recipes requiring sugar. Before organic unrefined sugar came onto the market I just didn't bake at all, period. Once in a while, for a holiday, I would come up with something made with brown rice syrup or some alternative sweetener using whole grain flour, but generally abstained because I just don't like white sugar or white flour.
Since this has been on the market, I've been baking up a storm. I always use the purest ingredients I can find, organic, and whole grain--that way I can feel good about eating something with some nutrition and it tastes better too. It's a great way to ensure my son has wholesome ingredients while still getting a treat every now and then.
Pumpkin Muffin Recipe
(modified from a recipe in Vegan With a Vengeance)
Whisk or Sift together:
1 3/4 Cup organic Whole Wheat Flour
1 Tbsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
(may add additional spices
such as ginger, or nutmeg)
Cream together:
1 Can organic Pumpkin
1 Cup organic Sugar
1/4 Cup Oil
1/2 Cup Soy Milk
Mix together and add
1 Cup chopped nuts and/or
1/2 cup raisins.
Mix and pour into muffin tins, bake for approximately 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees until it passes the knife test. There are all sorts of variations you can do with these--vegan chocolate chips are great in these, cranberries, more or less spice...play with it!
