Juicing remnants = muffin ingredients
I've been stashing the pulp remnants from my juicer in my freezer until I actually take the time to use the pulp.  I made a batch of muffins last summer that were...edible, but not tasty.  The muffins were a bit dry and too salty. I had used a recipe I binged (no, not "binged" as in ate too much, but as in the Microsoft search "bing" in the past tense).  I tried the muffin recipe again today, and I think the muffins are more tolerable.  I added chocolate chips to a few of the muffins to see if my husband would eat any.  Given that the muffins contain kale, and my husband's body goes into vomitous convulsions at the word kale, I thought perhaps chocolate chips may be of assistance.

This is the general (though approximate) recipe I used:
1cup juice pulp (I had kale, broccoli, carrot, apple)
1/4cup coconut oil
1tsp vanilla
1tsp nutmeg
1tsp cinnamon
1cup of date puree (I used 1cup dates, 1 cup water to soak in for 30min)
3 cups flour
2tsps baking soda
1/4tsp salt
2cups water
1/2-3/4 cups unsweetened apple sauce

I had already mixed the water when I realized I didn't have any agave and instead would be using date puree.  I think the mix was a bit too moist, and would reduce the amount of water.

I'm quite happy with how they turned out!  They're nice and moist and not too salty like the previous batch :)
