Ingredients
- FOR THE MUFFINS:
- 1 cup Almond milk
- ¼ cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 Tbsp Honey
- ½ cup Apple, chopped (about ½ a large apple)*
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp Oil
- 2 Egg whites
- 1½ cups Oat flour
- ½ cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- ½ tsp Baking soda
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 cup Blueberries**
- FOR THE TOPPING:
- 2 Tbsp Old-fashioned oats
- 2 Tbsp Brown sugar, packed
- 1 Tbsp Flour
- ¼ tsp Cinnamon
- ¼ cup Blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and spray non-stick muffins tin with cooking spray. Or line with paper liners and spray the insides.
- FOR THE MUFFINS:
- In a blender or food processor, add almond milk, brown sugar, honey, chopped apple, vanilla, oil, and egg whites.
- Blend until the apples are relatively smooth, then transfer to a medium bowl. (If you are using applesauce, you can skip the blending and simply stir ingredients together in a medium bowl).
- In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet almond milk mixture, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in blueberries.
- Spoon batter evenly into 12 muffin cups.
- FOR THE TOPPING:
- In a small bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the muffins before baking.
- Press one or two extra blueberries into the top of each muffin.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 18-20 mins, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Notes: *Can substitute ½ cup applesauce. **You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, toss them in a little flour to remove some of the moisture and avoid turning your muffin batter blue.
Storage Note: These muffins are best straight from the oven, obviously! But can be stored in an airtight container for two to three days (Just give them a few seconds in the microwave). Usually I’ll whip up a half batch, so we get to eat at their freshest!
