Equipment

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • large bowl
  • Measuring cup
  • Measuring spoons
  • Wire whisk
  • One rubber or silicone spatula
  • Cupcake/muffin pan
  • cupcake liners

Ingredients

  • 1 C non-dairy milk
  • 1 C oats
  • 1-1/2 C all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 C apple sauce
  • 1/2 C brown sugar packed
  • 1 egg vegan egg replacer equivalent
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°
  • Fill muffin pan with paper liners
  • Soak oatmeal in milk for at least 10 minutes
  • In a large bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients (except sugar). Make a well in the center.
  • In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine sugar and all wet ingredients and lemon zest
  • Add wet ingredients plus the oat and milk mixture to dry, stirring until just combined. Add any extra ingredients to batter. Don't over stir.
  • Spoon batter evenly into the 12 cups. Sprinkle top of each with a pinch of rolled oats and granulated sugar, if desired.
  • Bake on center rack in oven, at 425° for 5 minutes. Lower heat to 350° and continue baking for 16-17 minutes.
  • When ready, muffins should be golden-brown on top and the centers spring back when lightly pressed.
  • Allow muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing from muffin tin. Place on wire rack to continue cooling.

Notes

🥕If you add frozen blueberries, dust them in flour before adding to the batter. It helps keep them from sinking and from discoloring the batter.
🥕We used applesauce instead of oil in these marvelous muffins. You can add a light vegetable or coconut oil if you want a fluffier texture by replacing the applesauce with oil. 
🥕To make gluten-free muffins, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour of your choice. This is a brand I have used and recommend for gluten-free flour.
🥕Nutritional values will vary depending on any additional or alternate ingredients not listed not the recipe.
