Hey lovely Steemians, are you ready for the Easter holidays?

For most people Easter means time for easter eggs and other typical traditions that involve some kind of animal cruelty. But you can also celebrate Easter without these rituals.

There are so many amazing plant based egg replacers, for example ground flax seeds like in this recipe.

These carrot muffins are not only egg and cruelty free, but contain only whole food ingredients. So theoretically you could even have them for Easter breakfast. 😋

Here goes the easy recipe...
