Countless studies have shown the health benefits of a vegan diet. Benefits such as sound nutrition, disease prevention, and overall physical health. A vegan way of life also has positive benefits on the environment, as modern commercial farming puts a lot of strain on the earth, both in terms of landmass and various greenhouse gases that have been proven to be a result of such farming methods.

A vegan approach to baking gives one the health benefits of whole grains, such as reduced risk of colon cancer. Fruits provide vitamins and minerals. Raw nuts and seeds are rich in heart-protecting Omega 3 fats, as well as healthy skin promoting properties.

This collection of recipes is free from highly refined carbohydrates, highly refined sugars and dairy. Raw, natural ingredients that are free from preservatives and additives, allow you to still enjoy baked treats while taking care of your body from within. The muffin recipes include a Rooibos tea infusion. Rooibos tea has become known world-wide for its anti-oxidant rich health benefits. It is also high in minerals and is known to promote healthy skin and hair. The anti-inflammatory properties of Rooibos help prevent heart related illnesses. It is also known to relieve hypertension, aid the digestive tract and help in the treatment of insomnia.

Cinnamon has been proven to possess many health benefits (including, anti-inflammatory properties). It reduces levels of total cholesterol, naturally controls blood sugar levels, helps fight against bacterial and fungal infections, and improves insulin sensitivity.

Ginger is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties, as well as its ability to ease the discomfort of digestive issues, and is a great natural remedy for nausea and motion sickness. It also helps prevent muscle pain, and has cancer fighting properties.

The high fiber content of these recipes, not only promotes a healthy digestive system, but also gives them a low glycemic index, so they keep you full and satisfied for longer. This not only helps to further regulate blood sugar levels, but also keeps blood cholesterol at a healthy level.

The inclusion of healthy fats from a variety of raw seeds and nuts, and the use of both fresh and dried fruits, further make these recipes suitable to form the basis of healthy, energy sustaining, meals and snacks.

By substituting cow's milk for plant based options such as GMO-free soy, coconut and almond milk, as well as GMO-free soy yoghurt, further health benefits are provided. Soy milk is known to aid in the improvement of blood cholesterol, the prevention of certain cancers, and is a wonderful source of plant-based protein. Coconut milk is high in vitamins and minerals, as well as healthy unsaturated fats. Almond milk is known to help in weight management, contains no saturated fats, contributes to the healing process of muscles and promotes a healthy bone structure.

The use of raw brown sugar in some of the recipes, provides a less refined, healthier option to the highly refined white sugar that is generally used in baking.

A nutritionally sound diet will always leave you with sustained energy, and all-round good health. A vegan diet is rich in plant based carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals, and will ensure that all your nutritional needs are met in the most natural way. When our diets are nutritionally sound, and satisfying, there is never any room for cravings for unhealthy, highly processed and refined options.

These muffin recipes are high in fiber, and full of energy sustaining carbohydrates. You will notice that these recipes do not use sugar, as the dried fruit, and grated apple provides a subtle hint of sweetness, making these muffins suitable as either a sweet snack when served with a natural fruit preserve, or as a more nutty, on-the-go snack when served with an organic nut butter of your choice. As with all the muffin recipes in this section, they are meant to be made as small, more cookie-sized muffins. This is because their high-fiber content deems them very filling. Also you can have two at a time without feeling like you have overdone it. One may also think that because these recipes do not include any fat or oil, other than the raw seeds or nuts, that they will be dry, but the high liquid content and the grated apple, which is a substitute for the more traditional binding agent of eggs, makes for very moist muffins. It is recommended that you don't peel the apple before grating it, as the fiber and vitamin C content of the apple rind adds further health benefits to the recipe. The basic recipe is the same for all variations, making it a very versatile basis for any additions that your personal tastes and creativity may desire.
