Dry Ingredients
- 2.75 cups oat flour
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar (divided: 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or any milk)
- 1/2 cup honey (or brown rice syrup)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Other
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing muffin tin
- Optional: rolled oats for topping
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking your muffins.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, eggs, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Set this mixture aside.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix oat flour with 1/4 cup coconut sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute all dry components.
- Make the batter: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully combined. The batter will be runny but should have some resistance to it.
- Rest batter and add blueberries: Allow the batter to rest for 5 to 7 minutes, which helps with texture. Gently fold in the frozen blueberries to avoid breaking them up.
- Prepare muffin tin: Spray your muffin tin holes with cooking spray or grease them lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
- Fill muffin tins: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin tin cups.
- Top the muffins: Sprinkle the muffins with the remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut sugar. Optionally, garnish with rolled oats for added texture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes. Flip the muffin tray halfway through baking to ensure even cooking. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. Avoid overbaking to keep muffins moist and tender.
- Cool and store: Let the muffins cool completely before removing from the tin. Store muffins in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, at room temperature they last a few days, or freeze for up to six months.
Notes
- To keep the muffins moist, do not overbake as they can become dry and crumbly.
- You can substitute the honey with brown rice syrup to keep it vegan-friendly.
- Frozen blueberries work best as they hold their shape and add juicy bursts.
- Using oat flour makes this recipe gluten-free, but make sure your oat flour is certified gluten-free if sensitive.
- Optional rolled oats on top add a nice texture and a rustic look.
- Store muffins in the fridge to extend freshness or freeze for longer storage.
