"Emergency" Muffins

(this recipe was adapted from a Nava Atlas 'basic muffin' recipe)

2 C all purpose flour
2 T ground flaxseeds
2 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1/3 C granulated sugar
1 strawberry soy yogurt - 6oz (the original recipe lists 1 C vanilla soy yogurt or 1 C applesauce)
2 T safflower oil
1/3 C soy milk (I used closer to a 1/2)
handful of raisins

Preheat oven to 350F
Mix together all the dry ingredients (except the raisins)
In a separate bowl mix together the yogurt and oil
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yogurt and oil, add enough milk to pull it together as a stiff batter
Throw in the raisins

Lightly grease a muffin tray and divide the mixture equally between 10 muffin cups (the original recipe claims to make 12, but I've had better results with larger muffins, making only 10).

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until you can poke them with a knife/skewer and it comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown.

Once they're cool enough to handle, pop out of the muffin cups and cool on a wire rack
