Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, maple syrup, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.

  3. 3

    Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the flour mixture along with the olive oil.

  4. 4

    Stir until a rough dough forms. Then, knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  6. 6

    Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out to about 1-inch thickness.

  7. 7

    Using a round cutter or a glass, cut out circles from the dough. Place the circles on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.

  8. 8

    Cover the cut-out muffins with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

  9. 9

    Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Cook the muffins for about 7-10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  10. 10

    Let the muffins cool on a wire rack before slicing. Serve toasted with your favorite vegan spreads.
