On the weekend I had the pleasure to work with a product sent to me by a little Halifax-based company called Eggcitables! They've created a plant-based egg replacement that comes in a powder form made of whole food ingredients that's mixed with water to create both sweet and savoury traditional egg recipes.
With spring (kind of) on the way here in Ottawa an oranges in season somewhere nicer, I decided to try making a orange-cranberry flavoured muffin recipe!
