Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups oat flour
- 1 cup rolled oats plus more for topping
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup almond milk
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
- In a medium bowl, combine the oat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and oil. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Top with additional rolled oats.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Flour substitute: I haven’t tested this recipe with other flours, but all-purpose flour may work in place of oat flour. Let me know in the comments if you try it!
- Egg-Free: I haven’t tested this with egg substitutes, but flax eggs may work. Let me know if you give it a try.
- Add-ins: Feel free to stir in mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, raisins, or diced apples for extra flavor and texture.
- Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Freezer tip: Let muffins cool completely before freezing. Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven for a quick snack or breakfast.
