hi Kelly! the one I buy is vegan and gluten free, that’s why I buy it from a specialty brand. I know I have seen chai powders in the store – in the coffee / tea section (you know where the “International Coffee” is?) you could use the chai spices – cinnamon, clove, cardamom…

Hi and thanks for this recipe which might convince my daughter to eat a banana muffin. Can you explain what the chai powder is? Does it just have chai spices or does it have tea in it too? Would there be any non-specialty substitute that might work? Thanks again.

I agree it is joyful! Food does bring people together - I sure love to have loved ones over and FEED them! My favorite, actually...

One of the things that I love most about food (and food culture, in its sociological, historical, and anthropological sense) is that it has always helped to define community, bringing people together in ways unlike anything else. I have to say that although in this day and age centering social or business functions around food is looked down upon (because of the weight problems) I think it is joyful.

That was a sort of a very deep response–as deep as a response can be on a Sunday morning while waiting for the coffee to kick in anyway–to a recipe that really just inspires “YUM!”

the one I use is from the brand Earth Balance – they have several non dairy butter substitutes – non hydrogenated, non soy.
