Vegan Pear, Cranberry and Pecan Muffins

 

You have no eggs or milk of any kind, and your pantry is bare, so baking is out of the question, right? Wrong! These clever muffins use cornstarch instead of eggs and canned-fruit syrup in place of milk. Use whatever nut or dried fruit you have on hand and canned peaches if you don't have pears. No trip to the store for provisions necessary!

• Cooking spray
• 1/2 cup pecans, walnuts or almonds 
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
