Vegan Lemon Muffins

I love a good muffin, and they don't need to be full of butter, eggs and milk. It is simple to make them vegan. I looked around the kitchen to see what I had on hand and this is the recipe I came up with. They turned out quite tasty.

Vegan Lemon Muffins

In a large bowl mix:

1 c. whole wheat pastry flour

1/2 tsp. sea salt

1/4 c. applesauce
