Vegan Clementine Walnut Muffins

So, my company is having a vegan bake-off in two weeks and I've never done any vegan baking so I figured I'd get some practice in before the event. This recipe is adapted from Post Punk Kitchen's Orange Cranberry Muffins. 


Food Items!

• 2 cups flour (I used whole wheat but all-purpose would work)
• 2/3 cups sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup oil (I used olive oil because that's what I had on hand and it turned out alright)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• a few clementines (I started with six but I think I only used about two and half in actual baking because I was constantly nibbling at them :D

Cooking!

1. Mix all dry ingredients together.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients except the clementines. Mix until just moistened.
3. Fill about 1/4 of the tin. 
4. Peel the clementines and put two segments (or carpels as I recently learned is the correct term, at least according to Wikipedia) in each muffin. If you can fit three, I'd totally recommend it!
5. Put some more batter on top of the clementine segments.
6. Top with a bit of walnut pieces.
7. Bake at 375F for about 25 minutes.

Note: These are amazingly moist and have an awesome texture! I'm definitely going to be doing some more vegan baking because these turned out so well :D
