Vegan Banana Muffins

 Who doesn’t love banana muffins? Well I have an uncomplicated recipe that will not only satisfy your tongue, but make you never miss the animal products absent in it! 

For 12 delicious muffins, grab: 

  • A little over 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1.5 cup maple syrup
  • 3 large bananas
  • 1.5 cup coconut oil (half melted and half room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup turbinado sugar (or brown sugar)
Before doing anything, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit! 

In one bowl, add the oats, cinnamon, most of the flour (put 2 tbsp aside), ginger, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. 

In another bowl, (after melting the oil) mix the coconut oil, the maple syrup, mashed banana, and vanilla. Then put mix the dry and the wet ingredients together. 

In another medium bowl, add the other 1/4 cup of rolled oats, 2 tbsp of flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon along with the turbinado sugar and 1/4 cup room temperature coconut oil.

Pour an equal amount of batter in each of the 12 cups then bake for about 30 minutes. Once those 30 minutes are up, take them out and let them dry before serving.

Benefits and Cons of Tea

Drinking tea is scientifically controversial, and here is why: It is not hard to see why people love drinking tea: it’s tasty, (in a few ways) healthy and it relaxes the muscles. But what does a tea bag bring your water that you maybe should not be consuming so much? Caffeine . Caffeine messes up your metabolism, and if you rely on caffeine too much for an energy boost, instead of food, then you’re essentially feeding your body drugs. It has also been proven that many tea bags tend to contain lead. Although consuming caffeine in moderation should not terribly affect your body, especially your metabolic system, keep an eye open on your intake of caffeine.  Image source:  https://www.pexels.com/photo/peppermint-tea-on-teacup-1417945/ I also would like to add that based on my own research gathered thus far, I conclude that drinking lukewarm or hot water is a healthier alternative.  For more information and even more in-depth reasons why tea is not the best choice of drink, p...

We Are Frugivores

“Are you an omnivore?” Fellow students of mine growing up would ask each other questions like this. I have never witnessed anyone call out the irony of identifying and collectively agreeing on lions being carnivores, while human beings questioning each other’s designed diet. The truth is that we have objectified animals so much that we no longer associate with them, even though we are animals ourselves. When one’s looks or behavior gets compared to those of an animal, it is seen so negatively, which feeds into the idea that animals are lesser than humans. Whenever I would’ve informed someone of the fact that we are frugivores,  they would always argue that we are herbivores or omnivores. Just because we are capable of consuming meat, it does not mean any of it belongs in our bodies. Do we see lions that have been diagnosed with heart disease? Their bodies are designed to handle all of the meat, therefore their health is not jeopardized in eating it. Our ancestors were eating lot...
