Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and make removal easy.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Stir well to evenly distribute the baking soda and cinnamon.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until all components are just combined, ensuring not to overmix to keep muffins tender.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For extra texture, consider adding chopped nuts or dried fruits.
- Use gluten-free oats if you require a gluten-free option.
- Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- These muffins are naturally sweetened but can be adjusted by reducing maple syrup for a less sweet version.
