These are delicious. It’s a combination I had not tried before and I was curious to taste how it would turn out. Very good! The recipe is adapted from one in the baking book 150 best vegan muffin recipes, by Camilla V. Saulsbury.
Will defintely bake these again. Roasting and chopping the hazelnuts takes some work, but otherwise it’s a pretty straightforward and easy recipe.
