Actually, on the original post for the bread, Vegetation suggested making muffins. I had a little party the other night with lots of goodies so mini muffins seemed the perfect fit.
Cranberry-Orange-Nut Mini Muffins
Cranberry-Orange-Nut Bread batter and filled lightly greased mini muffin tins to the very top. Then bake for 30 minutes at 325. Let cool in the pans for 5-10 minutes and then remove and place on wire racks until completely cool. If you sneak one while it's still a little warm, nobody will notice. This recipe made 30 mini muffins. So I guess, technically, you could sneak 6 of them and everybody would just think your recipe made a perfect 2 dozen.
Tip: If your muffin tins are like mine, you can't make 30 muffins without having some empty muffin spots. I fill the empties with just a tiny bit of water to keep the pan from burning. This may not be necessary, but somebody way back told me that's what you should do.
I even liked the texture of this recipe better as mini muffins. The first of my friends to try the muffins (Hi, Henry!) gave the following review - ::big grin:: mmmmm....
Just a teaser for the next post: Sparkled Ginger Cookies from Vegan with a Vengeance.

Mmm that recipe is one of my absolute favourites (next to VwaV Pumpkin Muffins). I love your penguin plate and your muffins look delicious (plus bonus points for teaching us how to sneak errr I mean taste test, numerous muffins without getting caught :P)
Well, bless your heart! Gluten-free vegan for me; soy-free for my daughter. I'll be checking in here frequently! I'm hoping that some of these recipes are corn-free too. Thanks for taking the time to post stuff.
Susie,
A lot of them will be corn free because when I first started I had a corn sensitivity too. I think I still have a bit of one, so I don't add it unecessarily. I don't use any corn products in baking. When I do use corn tortillas, you can just switch to rice ones. I do make cornbread and have made croutons and will soon try stuffing from it. Overall there's not much corn here that can't be omitted or easily replaced.
Actually, some people consider xanthan gum a corn product. I've done some reading on the subject, and although it is originated from corn, some people claim that all of the corn properties have been stripped from it. It's something you'll have to decide. Guar gum is an option, but I haven't had as much success with that. Just experiment and see what you come up with.
