Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (natural, creamy or chunky)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Flaxseed meal
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped peanuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens into a flax 'egg'.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and maple syrup. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar to the wet mixture. Stir well to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips to add a touch of sweetness.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Optionally, sprinkle the tops with chopped peanuts for extra crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
