Ingredients

  • 2 cups oat flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (you can do less if you don’t like cinnamon)
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar, add more if you like a sweeter muffin)
  • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup applesauce (I highly recommend using homemade)
  • 1/4 cup tahini (or almond/cashew butter)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with liners. I only used 10 liners.
  • In a large bowl, add the oat flour, almond flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until well combined. 
  • In a medium bowl, add the coconut sugar, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, vanilla, applesauce, tahini, and almond milk. Whisk until well combined. 
  • Add the wet to the dry and mix with a spatula until just combined. Careful not to overmix. 
  • Fill each muffin tin cavity almost to the top (I got 10 muffins). Sprinkle some rolled oats on top if you’d like. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for 3 days.
