Vegan Chai Zucchini Muffins

I've been wanting to make these muffins for a while now!
When planning to bake these I didn't realize they weren't vegan! A quick and easy substitute of coconut oil for butter and 3 tablespoons of water with 1 tablespoon of chia seeds per egg! Instant veganization!
Original recipe from Live Simply, found here: http://livesimply.me/2014/08/07/chai-zucchini-muffins/

Ingredients: 


  • 8 TB softened butter (substituted coconut oil 1:1)
  • 1/2 cup honey (substituted maple syrup)
  • 1/2 cup sucanat (I substituted brown sugar)
  • 3/4 cup whole milk (almond milk substituted)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 
  • 2 beaten eggs (3 tablespoons of water and 1 tablespoon of chia seed per egg)
  • 3 cups spelt flour or white whole wheat (I used plain white flour)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom 
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
