How to make these oat flour muffins

These oat flour muffins are super easy to make! I have outlined the steps below.

Firstly, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease your muffin pan with cooking spray.

Secondly, add your dry ingredients to a medium bowl: oat flour, almond flour, baking soda and baking powder.

Thirdly, whisk together all the wet ingredients: eggs, almond milk, coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla.

Now fold in the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients. The batter will be runny and thats ok!

Scoop the batter into your muffin pan and top each muffin with chocolate chips.

Bake muffins for 23-25 minutes.

Finally, let the muffins cool slightly and enjoy!

What makes these muffins healthy?

These muffins are made with oat flour and almond flour.

Oat flour is a nice whole grain and gluten free flour. Oats are a great source of fiber and whole grains.

In addition, almond flour is also a great gluten free and paleo flour. It pairs nicely with oat flour to create perfectly fluffy baked goods! Almond flour is loaded with healthy fats and antioxidants.

Coconut oil is the baking fat used. Refined coconut oil is neutral in taste and smell and replaces oils like vegetable oil and canola oil. Feel free to use butter instead as it is lower in saturated fat.

Lastly, both maple syrup and coconut sugar are used to sweeten up these muffins. They are both all natural and non processed sweeteners!

How to store these oat flour muffins

Once the muffins have fully cooled, store them in an air tight container on the counter for 3 days or in the fridge for 7 days.

Additionally, you can store the muffins in the freezer for up to 3 months.

I personally love storing my muffins in the freezer! They last much longer and can easily be defrosted in the microwave.
