Why You’ll Love Vegan KooKoo Sibzamini Muffins

• KooKoo Sibzamini is a Persian dish traditionally made with eggs and potatoes. “Sibzamini” refers to potato, and it literally translates to “apple of the earth” in Persian. Our vegan version replaces egg with Just Egg (a plant-based egg replacer made from mung bean).
• These KooKoo Sibzamini muffins are very easy, and while they take longer than 10 minutes to cook, they take less than 10 minutes to prep. This is a great finger food for kids, whether on a picnic or a playdate. My kids love dipping them in ketchup.
• The recipe is very similar to our original and traditional KooKoo Sibzamini recipe, but much easier! No waiting, watching, flipping with these muffins.
