Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • ½ cup (120g) unsweetened applesauce, mashed banana, or pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk or other dairy-free milk
  • ¼ cup (64g) creamy almond butter or other nut or seed butter
  • ¼ cup (50g) refined coconut oil, melted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (60g) Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free oat flour
  • 1 cup (96g) Bob’s Red Mill blanched almond flour
  • ⅓ cup cacao powder
  • 2 tablespoons flax meal
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup (3 ounces) chocolate chips or chunks, plus more to sprinkle on top, if desired

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners or grease with coconut oil.
  • Combine the applesauce, coconut sugar, almond milk, almond butter, coconut oil, and vanilla extract, stirring to combine. Warm slightly in the microwave if the coconut oil seizes up.
  • Add oat flour, almond flour, cacao powder, flax meal, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir until combined. Stir in the chocolate.
  • Divide between the 12 muffin tins. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the muffin springs back when pressed with a fingertip. Once done, let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months. I like to freeze and heat a muffin in the microwave when I want it!
