Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups oat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups maple syrup
- 0.5 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Then add the unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined; do not over-mix.
If using optional add-ins like chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit, fold them into the batter at this stage.
Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the muffins warm, or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or 1 week in the refrigerator.
