Ingredients

  • 2 flax eggs (2 Tbsp ground flaxseed + 6 Tbsp water)
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk (well shaken)
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup Georgia Grinders creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Mochiko sweet rice flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt (more if pb is not salted)
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease muffin tin very well.
  • In a large bowl, make the flax egg by combining the ground flaxseed and water. Mix and set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
  • In a medium bowl, add the sweet rice flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • In the bowl with the flax eggs, add the coconut milk, brown sugar, peanut butter, vegan butter, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
  • Add dry ingredients to the wet. Whisk until well combined. Divide batter into muffin tin, filling the tins all the way up. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top.
  • Bake for 40 minutes or until tops are golden brown and set. Let muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy! Best when eaten fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Microwave for a few seconds when you want to eat them.
