I was craving muffins this morning and I happen to have an excessive amount of apples in my fridge right now so I decided to wing a recipe. Since my daughter scarfed down two of these muffins in record speed I figured the recipe was blog-worthy. These muffins are healthy, gluten-free, and vegan too! They don’t rise like regular muffins which means they are more dense and filling, making them great for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.
Yield: 12 muffins
Ingredients:
- 2 cups oats
- 1 cup almond meal
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 apples, peeled and grated
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 chia egg* (or regular egg)
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- *to make a chia egg, combine 1 tbsp ground chia with 3 tbsp water and let sit 5 mins
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350*F. Grease a muffin pan and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl combine all of the dry ingredients and stir well. Add in the rest of the ingredients and combine well.
3. Fill pre-greased muffin pan. Bake in oven for 28-35 mins, until edges are brown and toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Let sit in pan for 5-10 mins before removing.
These muffins look delicious! I’m always searching for quick (and healthy) breakfast and snack ideas. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
