Healthy Cherry Chocolate Chip Oat Muffins (vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar free)

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup oat flour (I make my own oat flour in my high-speed blender)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or avocado oil)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 flax eggs (2 Tbsp flax + 5 Tbsp water)
  • 1 heaping cup cherries, pitted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup non-dairy chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with liners or grease very well.
  • In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water to make the flax eggs. Stir and set aside to thicken.
  • In a large bowl, add the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and coconut sugar. Whisk until well combined and there are no clumps.
  • In a medium bowl, add the melted coconut oil, flax eggs, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add the wet to the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, mix until combined. Fold in the cherries, oats, and chocolate chips. Fill each muffin tin to the top. Bake for 25-27 minutes, or until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle come out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Carefully remove (they are fragile) from the pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
