Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten free oat flour – if using homemade oat flour, make sure it’s very finely ground (not coarse)*
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 1/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional, but recommended)
Add-in Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
Optional Topping
- 2–3 tablespoons fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients: oat flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Add non-dairy milk to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 10-second increments until just warm. This will prevent the melted coconut oil from solidifying once mixed with with the milk.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients: non-dairy milk, lemon juice, coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and almond extract. Whisk until well mixed.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Whisk until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain. Fold in blueberries.
- Pour batter evenly into prepared muffin pan—filling each cup all the way to the top for a smaller quantity of bigger muffins, and ¾ of the way for a larger quantity of smaller muffins. Optionally, press blueberries into the muffin tops.
- Bake for 24-32 minutes. Mine took 28 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check for doneness—once it comes out clean, it’s done.
- Place muffin pan on a cooling rack to cool for 20 minutes. Remove muffins from muffin pan and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 1-2 hours. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.
