Vegan Banana Blueberry Lactation Muffins

My nursling has a sensitivity to both eggs and milk, which means I've had to cut them from my diet. Because of that, I can't have most standard baked goods and really miss those sweet treats. I was having some moms over for a meeting to plan our upcoming expo in support of World Breastfeeding Week, so I made some lactation cookies. But since I had some over-ripe bananas, blueberries, and the galactagogue trio of flax meal, brewers yeast, and oatmeal on hand, I thought I'd try to make some muffins, too. Fun fact: flax meal soaked in water is a good egg replacement! I couldn't find a recipe online that exactly fit the bill for what I imagined making, so I modified a few I found online. The cookies came out okay, but the muffins were the real hit. I was a little short on flour, and the muffins were a little TOO moist (if there is such a thing), so I'm modifying the recipe to include a little more flour than I used. I also threw in all the blueberries we had left, which was slightly more than the cup the recipe calls for.
