Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup oat flour (certified gluten-free)
- 1/2 cup protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or other vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- Optional: 1/2 cup berries or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gradually add the milk and stir until the batter reaches a thick but pourable consistency. If using, gently fold in berries or chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your oat flour is certified gluten-free if you have celiac disease or a severe gluten sensitivity.
- Adjust the amount of milk if the batter is too thick or too thin.
- These muffins are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
